Review; Comment Request; Unemployment Insurance Data Validation

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting the Employment and
Training Administration (ETA) sponsored information collection request
(ICR) revision titled, ``Unemployment Insurance Data Validation,'' to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval for
use in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Public comments on the ICR are invited.

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that agency receives
on or before June 23, 2016.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation;
including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency
of response, and estimated total burden may be obtained free of charge
from the RegInfo.gov Web site at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201512-1205-004 (this link will only become active
on the day following publication of this notice) or by contacting
Michel Smyth by telephone at 202-693-4129, TTY 202-693-8064, (these are
not toll-free numbers) or sending an email to DOL_PRA_PUBLIC@dol.gov.
Submit comments about this request by mail or courier to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for DOL-

encouraged, but not required, to send a courtesy copy of any comments

4129, TTY 202-693-8064, (these are not toll-free numbers) or sending an

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Data Validation (DV)
information collection. The UI DV Program requires a State to operate a
system for ascertaining the validity (i.e., adherence to Federal
reporting requirements) of specified UI data submitted to the ETA on
certain monthly or quarterly reports. Some of these data are used to
assess performance, including for the Government Performance and
Results Act, or to determine States grants for administration of the UI
Program. This information collection has been

[[Page 32791]]

classified as a revision, because of a change to the high dollar
overpayment threshold for Reporting Form ETA-227. Social Security Act
section 303(a)(6) authorizes this information collection. See 42 U.S.C.
503(a)(6).
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection
under Control Number 1205-0431. The current approval is scheduled to
expire on May 31, 2016; however, the DOL notes that existing
information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a
month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements
would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on October 23, 2016 (80 FR 64450).
Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB,
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1205-0431.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
