Abstract: This is a justification for the Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration's (ETA) request for a new collection describing reemployment activities for UI claimants in Federal programs to comply with PL 112-96, the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. The basic report format is designed to be very similar to the existing ETA 9002 report (OMB number 1205-0240) that covers quarterly performance data for the Wagner-Peyser Act funded public labor exchange. ETA has well established reporting instructions, reporting software, reporting formats and reporting logic that is used with existing reemployment service delivery reporting for UI claimants, and will be duplicating this structure to serve UI claimants in Federal programs, as required by PL 112-96.

Emergency Justfication: Traditional clearance processes would result in public harm by limiting the options states have to address the persistent unemployment problem. Furthermore Public Law 112-96 mandates immediate implementation of this data collection.
