Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment Request for 
Nonmonetary Determination Activity Report

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) Employment and Training 
Administration (ETA) is soliciting comments concerning a proposed 
extension for the authority to conduct the information collection 
request (ICR) titled, ``Nonmonetary Determination Activity Report.'' 
This comment request is part of continuing Departmental efforts to 
reduce paperwork and respondent burden in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all written comments received by 
November 7, 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 by 
contacting Ed Medlin by telephone at (202)-693-3259, TTY 1-877-889-
5627, (these are not toll-free numbers) or by email at 
[email protected].
    Submit written comments about, or requests for a copy of, this ICR 
by mail or courier to the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and 
Training Administration, Office of Unemployment Insurance; 200 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC, 20210; by email at 
[email protected]; or by fax (202) 693-3975.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL, as part of continuing efforts to 
reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance 
consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies 
an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of 
information before submitting them to the OMB for final approval. This 
program helps to ensure requested data can be provided in the desired 
format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, 
collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of 
collection requirements can be properly assessed.
    The ETA Nonmonetary Determination Activity Report, contains state 
data on the number and types of issues that are adjudicated when 
unemployment insurance (UI) claims are filed. It also has data on the 
number of disqualifications that are issued for reasons associated with 
a claimant's separation from employment and reasons related to a 
claimant's continuing eligibility for benefits. These data are used by 
the Office of Unemployment Insurance (OUI) to determine workload counts 
for allocation of administrative funds, to analyze the ratio of 
disqualifications to determinations, and to examine and evaluate the 
program effect of nonmonetary activities. The Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)] authorizes this information 
collection.
    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.
    Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the 
contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to 
receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the 
request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure 
appropriate consideration, comments should mention Nonmonetary 
Determination Activity Report, OMB control number 1205-0150.
    Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this 
ICR and posted on the Internet, without redaction. The DOL encourages 
commenters not to include personally identifiable information, 
confidential business data, or other sensitive

[[Page 61254]]

statements/information in any comments.
    The DOL 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.
    Type of Review: Extension without changes.
    Title of Collection: Nonmonetary Determination Activity Report.
    Form: ETA 207.
    OMB Control Number: 1205-0150.
