This paperwork
package is disapproved for the following reasons: 1. DOL's
requirement for four copies of State UI laws and related materials
is in violation of 5 CFR 1320.6, which limits the number of
documents a Federal agency can request to one original and two
copies. Despite previous terms of clearance for this package
(4/03/85) requesting DOL to initiate rulemaking to reduce the
number of copies requested, and despite agency assurances that it
would do so, DOL has failed to initiate rulemaking. 2. DOL has
failed to justify the need, purpose, or practical utility for the
"MA-87" transmittal form. Nothing in the supporting statement for
this package indicates why DOL needs the extensive information
solicited by the MA-87 or how it uses that information. 3. DOL's
burden estimate of one minute per response for the MA-87 is highly
suspect given that the form is two pages long, solicits detaile
information, and is accompanied by eighteen pages of instructions.
4. DOL has not meaningfully responded to the instructions for
coompleting item 12 of the supporting statement regarding annual
costs OMB notes that previous approval for this package expired
6/30/85. Imposition of these information collection requirements
subsequent to that date, therefore, constitutes a violation of the
Paperwork Reducti Act.
