SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Weekly Claims and Extended Benefits Data and Weekly 
Initial and Continued Weeks Claimed information collection 
requirements. This data collection is necessary for the determination 
of the beginning, continuance, or termination of an Extended Benefit 
(EB) period in any State that determines the EB trigger rate. In 
addition, data on initial and continued claims are used to help 
determine economic indicators. The revisions are related to the Final 
Rule titled, ``Federal-State Unemployment Compensation Program; 
Implementing the Total Unemployment Rate as an Extended Benefits 
Indicator and Amending for Technical Corrections,'' that appears 
elsewhere today in the Federal Register. The Final Rule deletes 
regulations 20 CFR 615.15 paragraphs (c) and (d) that pertain to 
records and reports a State agency must submit. The reporting 
instructions for the proper and timely submission of data are provided 
in ET Handbook No. 401 that governs Unemployment Compensation required 
reporting. Social Security Act section 303(a)(6) and Federal-State 
Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970 section 203, as amended 
authorize this information collection. See 42 U.S.C. 303(a)(6) and 
Public Law 91-373, section 203.
    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 1250-0028. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on October 31, 2018; 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 July 7, 2015 (80 FR 38747) and the Final Rule 
published today under RIN 1205-AB62.
    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. The DOL notes that the request for 
public comments is limited to the information collection requirements; 
the ETA provided an opportunity for public comment on the underlying 
regulatory provisions when it published a Proposed Rule in the Federal 
Register on October 24, 2014 (79 FR 63589). In order to help ensure 
appropriate consideration, comments on the ICR should mention OMB 
Control Number 1205-0028. 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.
    Agency: DOL-ETA.
    Title of Collection: Weekly Claims and Extended Benefits Data and
