SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 5 U.S.C. 8501, et seq. authorizes this
information collection. Per the Unemployment Compensation for Federal
Employees Act, ``[E]ach agency of the United States and each wholly or
partially owned instrumentality of the United States shall make
available to State agencies which have agreements, or to the Secretary
of Labor, as the case may be, such information concerning the Federal
service and Federal wages of a Federal employee as the Secretary
considers practicable and necessary for the determination of the
entitlement of the Federal employee to compensation under this
subchapter.'' DOL has prescribed forms to enable State Workforce
Agencies to obtain this necessary information from the individual's
Federal employing agency. The UCFE forms are: ETA-931, ETA-931A, ETA-
933, ETA-934, and ETA-935. For additional substantive information about
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on
July 29, 2021 (86 FR 40879).
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 the OMB approves it 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
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
