SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of
continuing efforts to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, DOL conducts
a pre-clearance consultation program to
provide the general public and Federal
agencies an opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing collections
of information before submitting them
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for final approval. This program
helps to ensure requested data is
provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements
can be properly assessed.
The UCX law (5 U.S.C. 8521–8525)
requires State Workforce Agencies
(SWAs) to administer the UCX program
in accordance with the same terms and
conditions of the paying state’s
unemployment insurance law
applicable to unemployed claimants
who worked in the private sector. Each
state agency needs to obtain certain
military service information on
claimants filing for UCX benefits to
enable the state to determine their
eligibility for benefits. As needed, most
state agencies record required UCX
information on the form developed by
DOL, ETA 843, Request for Military
Document and Information. Without the
claimant’s military information, a state
cannot adequately determine potential
UCX eligibility of ex-servicemembers
and would not be able to properly
administer the program. UCX law (5
U.S.C. 8521–8525) authorizes this
information collection. Note: ETA is
removing one form, ETA 841, from the
list of UCX related forms, as states no
longer use the form for data collection.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by OMB under the PRA and
displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number. In addition, notwithstanding
any other provisions of law, no person
shall generally be subject to penalty for

failing to comply with a collection of
information that does not display a
valid Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB control number 1205–
0176.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. DOL encourages commenters
not to include personally identifiable
information, confidential business data,
or other sensitive statements/
information in any comments.
DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

ETA requires grantees to submit
Quarterly Narrative Reports with a
narrative summary of progress on
activities identified by the grantee in
their project work plan. Grantees also
submit a Quarterly Performance Report
with standardized outcome measures
that include data for program
participants.
These reports help ETA gauge the
effectiveness of the H–1B Ready To
Work grants, respond to inquiries about
the program’s progress and success from
Congress and other stakeholders,
identify grantees that could serve as
useful models, target technical
assistance appropriately, and provide
data for the national evaluation of the
Ready To Work grants. ETA is seeking
an extension for the collection of the
Quarterly Narrative Report and the
Quarterly Performance Report for the
period 7/1/2019–6/30/2022. 29 U.S.C.
414(c), American Competitiveness and
Workforce Improvement Act of 1998, 29
U.S.C. 3224a(7), Workforce Investment
Act authorizes this information
collection.
This information collection is subject

of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
