Title: ETA VALIDATION HANDBOOK, NO. 361
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved and continue	Conclusion Date: 01/16/1985
	Date Received in OIRA: 10/17/1984
Terms of Clearance: The proposed additions to the ETA Validation Handbook, No. 361, are disapproved on the grounds that they are overly burdensome, lack practical utility, and are not necessary to the proper performance of the agency's function. It appears that the Department' Quality Control program will meet the agency's need for a reliable error-detection system. The Department has asserted that part of the disapproved collection of information is necessary to comply with the 1971 U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Java case. Compliance with that decision, however, does not require the validation of state Unemployment Insurance data. While we disapprove the proposed information collection, the existing clearance for the portions of the ETA Validation Handbook previously approved and assigned OMB No. 1205-0055 will continue through 09/85.
