Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment Request; 
Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees Handbook No. 391

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor's (DOL's), Employment and Training 
Administration (ETA) is soliciting comments concerning a proposed 
extension for the authority to conduct the information collection 
request (ICR) titled ``Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees 
Handbook No. 391.'' 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).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all written comments received by 
November 13, 2018.

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 Derrick Holmes by telephone at (202) 693-3205, TTY 1-877-
889-5627 (these are not toll-free numbers), or by email at 
Holmes.Derrick@dol.gov.
    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, Room S-4520, 
200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20210, by email at 
Holmes.Derrick@dol.gov, or by Fax at (202) 693-3975.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Candace Edens by telephone at (202) 
693-3195 (this is not a toll-free number) or by email at 
Edens.Candace@dol.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Office of Management and 
Budget (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.
    Title 5 U.S.C. 8506 states that ``[E]ach agency of the United 
States and each wholly or partially owned instrumentality of the United 
States shall make available to State agencies which have agreements, or 
to the Secretary of Labor, as the case may be, such information 
concerning the Federal service and Federal wages of a Federal employee 
as the Secretary considers practicable and necessary for the 
determination of the entitlement of the Federal employee to 
compensation under this subchapter.'' The information shall include the 
findings of the employing agency concerning:

[[Page 46761]]

    (1) Whether or not the Federal employee has performed Federal 
service;
    (2) the periods of Federal service;
    (3) the amount of Federal wages; and
    (4) the reasons for termination of Federal service.
    State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) administer the Unemployment 
Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) program in accordance with 
the same terms and provisions of the paying State's unemployment 
insurance law, which apply to unemployed claimants who worked in the 
private sector. SWAs must be able to obtain certain information (wage 
and separation data) about each claimant filing claims for UCFE 
benefits to enable them to determine his/her eligibility for benefits. 
DOL has prescribed forms to enable SWAs to obtain this necessary 
information from the individual's Federal employing agency. Each of 
these forms is essential to the UCFE claims process and the frequency 
of use varies depending upon the circumstances involved. The UCFE forms 
are: ETA-931, ETA-931A, ETA-933, ETA-934, and ETA-935. The law (5 
U.S.C. 8501, et seq.), 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 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 OMB control number 
1205-0179.
    Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this 
ICR and posted on the internet, without redaction. DOL encourages 
commenters not to include personally identifiable information, 
confidential business data, or other sensitive statements/information 
in any comments.
    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.
