Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved collection. The burden has been reduced by 372 hours. The reduction is the result of an adjustment attributable to more waivers requested based on DOL Trigger Notices which require less State agency preparation and analysis than geographically based waivers. Geographically based waivers require analysis of labor market data within the State, in some cases involving a significant number of counties. Information on States subject to Trigger Notices is available directly from the DOL website http://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims_arch.asp and requires no additional analysis from State agency staff.
