SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This data collection is necessary for the
determination of the beginning, continuance, or termination of an
Extended Benefit (EB) period in any State, which determine the EB
trigger rate. Also, data on initial and continued claims are used to
help determine economic indicators. This information collection request
is associated with the Final Rule amending 20 CFR 615, Extended
Benefits, by implementing the Total Unemployment Rate (TUR) indicator,
an optional calculation methodology for triggering on Extended
Benefits, in regulations. The Final Rule deletes paragraphs (c) and (d)
under the regulatory requirements at Sec. 615.15, pertaining to
records and reports State agencies must submit. The reporting
instructions for the proper and timely submission of data are provided
in ET Handbook No. 401, which governs Unemployment Compensation
required reporting. For additional substantive information about this
ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on March
11, 2025 (90 FR 11751).
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
[[Page 52115]]
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.
