FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Howell by telephone at 202-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 303(a)(6), SSA, requires, as a
condition of receiving administrative grants, that state law contain
provision for the ``making of such reports, in such form and containing
such information, as the Secretary of Labor may from time to time
require, and compliance with such provisions as the Secretary of Labor
may from time to time find necessary to ensure the correctness and
verification of such reports.'' Departmental regulations at 20 CFR
601.3 in part implement this requirement by requiring the submission of
``all relevant state materials, such as statutes, executive and
administrative orders, legal opinions, rules, regulations,
interpretations, court opinions, etc. . . .'' Also, the regulations for
the
[[Page 34521]]
UC for Federal Civilian Employees (UCFE) program at 20 CFR 609.1(d)(1)
and for the UC for ex-service members (UCX) program at 20 CFR
614.1(d)(1) require submission of certain documents to assure that
states are properly administering these programs. The Trade Adjustment
Assistance (which includes Trade Readjustment Allowances) program (TAA/
TRA) regulations provide similar requirements at 20 CFR 617.52(c)(1).
The MA 8-7 is the mechanism for implementing these submittal
requirements, the purpose of which is to provide the Secretary with
sufficient information to determine if (a) employers in a state qualify
for tax credits under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act; (b) the state
meets the requirements for obtaining administrative grants under Title
III, SSA; and (c) the state is fulfilling its obligations under Federal
UC programs. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see
the related notice published in the Federal Register on March 11, 2025
(90 FR 11749).
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: Transmittal For Unemployment Insurance
Materials.
OMB Control Number: 1205-0222.
Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Government.
Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 53.
Total Estimated Number of Responses: 318.
Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 80 hours.
Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $0.
(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D))
