This collection describes 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 very similar to the ETA 9002 report (OMB
number 1205-0240), which 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 are used with existing
reemployment service delivery reporting for UI claimants, and this
structure also serves UI claimants in Federal programs, as required
by PL 112-96.
While the information
collection has not changed, the Agency has reconsidered whether the
collection imposes a parallel burden on States and individual
participants. Individuals must make third-party disclosures to
States; in turn States record the information to allow for later
reporting. This reconsideration resulted in an increase of
3,500,000 responses and 116,667 hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
