or by email at Cynthia.greene.m@
dol.gov.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).

DOL, as
part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
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 can be 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.
Section 303(a)(4) of the Social
Security Act (SSA) and Section
3304(a)(3) of the Federal Unemployment
Tax (FUTA) require that all monies
received in the unemployment fund of
a state be paid immediately to the
Secretary of the Treasury to the credit of
the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF).
This is the ‘‘immediate deposit’’
standard. Section 303(a)(5) of the SSA
and Section 3304(a)(4) of the FUTA
require that all monies withdrawn from
the UTF be used solely for the payment
of unemployment compensation,
exclusive of the expenses of
administration. This is the ‘‘limited
withdrawal’’ standard.
Federal law (Section 303(a)(6) of the
SSA) gives the Secretary of Labor the
authority to require the reporting of
information deemed necessary to assure
state compliance with the provisions of
the SSA. Under this authority, the
Secretary of Labor requires the
following reports to monitor state
compliance with the immediate deposit
and limited withdrawal standards:
ETA 2112: UI Financial Transactions
Summary, Unemployment Fund,
ETA 8401: Monthly Analysis of
Benefit Payment Account,
ETA 8403: Summary of Financial
Transactions—Title IX Funds,
ETA 8405: Monthly Analysis of
Clearing Account,
ETA 8413: Income-Expense Analysis
Unemployment Compensation (UC)
Fund, Benefit Payment Account, and
ETA 8414: Income-Expense Analysis
UC Fund, Clearing Account.
Section 303(a)(6) of the SSA authorizes
this information 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–
0154.
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).
