SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce 
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation 
program to provide the 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.
    The continued collection of information contained on the ETA 9128 
(Reemployment and Eligibility Assessment Workload) and 9129 
(Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment Outcomes) reports is 
necessary to enable ETA's Office of Unemployment Insurance to perform 
program oversight, target technical assistance to states, and assess 
the effectiveness of the RESEA program through workload and outcomes 
reports. Changes to the ETA 9128 Reemployment Services and Eligibility 
Assessment Workload report were approved by OMB on December 7, 2022, to 
capture information about Subsequent RESEA meetings (an optional but 
increasingly common RESEA service) and the number of claimants selected 
for RESEA that were determined prior to their scheduled RESEA meeting 
to have been incorrectly selected, otherwise ineligible for RESEA, or 
potentially fraudulent. The proposed renewal of this collection would 
continue the gathering of this information. 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A) 
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. To help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1205-0456.
    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:
    <bullet> 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;
    <bullet> 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;
    <bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and

[[Page 20318]]

    <bullet> 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).
