SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The UCFE law (5 U.S.C. 8501, et seq.)
requires state workforce agencies to administer the UCFE program in
accordance with the same terms and provisions of the paying state's
unemployment insurance law, which apply to unemployed claimants who
worked in the private sector. Each state agency must be able to obtain
certain information (wage, separation data) about each claimant filing
claims for UCFE benefits to enable them to determine his/her
eligibility for benefits. The Department of Labor (DOL) has prescribed
forms to enable the state agencies to obtain this necessary information
from the individual's Federal employing agency. Each of these forms is
essential to the UCFE claims process and the frequency of use varies
depending upon the circumstances involved. These are model forms which
states may customize as needed to collect the necessary information
required to operate the UCFE program. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on June 27, 2024 (89 FR 53653).
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: Unemployment Compensation for Federal
Employees Handbook 391.
OMB Control Number: 1205-0179.
Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 565.
Total Estimated Number of Responses: 72,117.
