SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since 1987, states have been required by
regulation at 20 CFR part 602 to operate a program to assess their
Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax and benefit programs. The Tax
Performance System (TPS) is designed to assess the major internal UI
tax functions by utilizing several methodologies: Computed Measures,
which are indicators of timeliness and completeness based on data
automatically generated via the existing ETA 581, Contribution
Operations Report (Control Number 1205-0178 and Program Reviews, which
assess accuracy through a two-fold examination. This examination
involves: (a) ''Systems Reviews'' which examine tax systems for the
existence of internal controls; and (b) extraction of small samples of
those systems' transactions which are then examined to verify the
effectiveness of controls. For additional substantive information about
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on
March 1, 2024 (89 FR 15220).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
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.
Agency: DOL-ETA.
Title of Collection: Tax Performance System.
OMB Control Number: 1205-0332.
Affected Public: State, local, and Tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 52.
Total Estimated Number of Responses: 52.
Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 89,232 hours.
