Short Statement: The burden that the electronic transactions in this "collection" put on respondents is directly related to the number of transactions conducted within the system. As a result, increases and decreases in unemployment claims resulting from changes in the economic cycle and with military deployments will affect burden over the course of years. Previous submissions were based on a lower level of claims filings attributable to better economic conditions and fewer military decommissions. Since that time, the level of weekly UCX filings has been steadily increasing. There has been no change in the way UCX claims are processed or administered since 2009, so the change in burden is a direct function of the level of claims in the system.
