SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The ETA–9016 Report is used by the 

Department of Labor to assess whether 

(and the extent to which) the 

requirements of the U.S. Citizenship 

and Immigration Services (USCIS), 

Systematic Alien Verification for 

Entitlement (SAVE) system are costeffective and otherwise appropriate for 

the Unemployment Insurance (UI) 

program. In addition, data from the 

Alien Claims Activity report is being 

used to assist the Secretary of Labor in 

determining whether a State Workforce 

Agency’s (SWA) administrative costs 

associated with the verification program 

are reasonable and reimbursable. There 

is no other report or system available for 

collecting this required information. 

The report allows the Department of 

Labor to determine the number of aliens 

filing for UI, the number of benefit 

issues detected, the denials of benefits 

to aliens, the extent to which State 

Agencies use the system, and the overall 

effectiveness and cost efficiency of the 

verification system. If SWAs are not 

required to submit the information on 

the Alien Claims Activity Report, the 

Department of Labor would not be able 

to fulfill its responsibilities to assess the 

SAVE system. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

Currently, ETA is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed extension of 

the collection for the ETA 9016 Report 

on Alien Claims Activity, and is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

* Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

* Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of electronic collection techniques. 

III. Current Actions 

Continued collection of the ETA–9016 

data will provide for a comprehensive 

evaluation of the UI Alien Claims 

Activities. The data are collected 

quarterly, and an analysis of the data 

received is formulated into a report 

summarizing the Alien Claims Activity 

by the 53 SWAs. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change. 

Title: ETA 9016, Alien Claims 

Activity Report.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

More than two million people are 

incarcerated in Federal and State 

prisons and local jails, and over 600,000 

people return from prisons to 

communities across the country each 

year. Released ex-offenders face 

multiple challenges, including 

difficulties with finding a job and 

housing and accessing social and health 

services, possible child support arrears, 

and family troubles. A study conducted 

for the Bureau of Justice Statistics 

showed that two-thirds of individuals 

released from prison in 1994 were 

rearrested and half returned to prison 

within three years. Recent research 

suggests that released offenders consider 

finding employment a high priority and 

that higher employment and earnings 

are associated with lower recidivism. 

Through RExO, the Department 

issued grants to urban faith-based and 

community organizations (FBCOs) to 

provide comprehensive employmentcentered services to nonviolent 

offenders recently released from prison. 

Building on the strengths that FBCOs 

bring, RExO’s programs include 

mentoring and various supportive 

services and facilitate connections with 

providers of housing services. Since 

many of the grantees serve areas with 

high concentrations of returning 

prisoners, one of RExO’s aims is to 

exercise a positive influence on the 

communities’ broader social fabric. 

Under contract with ETA, Social 

Policy Research Associates is 

conducting a random assignment 

evaluation of 24 of RExO’s first 

generation grants. Participants at each 

site are randomly assigned to either the 

program (60 percent) or the control (40 

percent) group. The evaluation includes: 

• An implementation component. 

This component involves documenting 

the processes, used by the grantee 

organizations to assign participants to 

either the program group, which was 

offered program services, or the control 

group, which was not; describing the 

characteristics of the program 

participants; examining the community 

contexts of the RExO grantee programs; 

and identifying the differences in the 

services provided to the program and 

control groups (the latter could access 

non-RExO services) as well as variations 

across grantees. By shedding light on 

the programmatic practices of RExO, 

this component will support the 

interpretation of impact findings. 

Information for it will come from site 

visits to the grantees and the program’s 

management information system. 

• An impact component. Comparing 

the two groups’ employment-related and 

recidivism outcomes will allow the 

research team to estimate the impacts of 

RExO services for eligible ex-offenders 

overall and for key subgroups. Outcome 

data will be obtained from telephone 

surveys of members of the RExO 

program and control groups conducted 

at 12 and 36 months after random 

assignment. 

The RExO evaluation will rely on the 

following information sources for the 

implementation and impact 

components: 

• Unstructured in-person interviews 

with program staff at each site. The 

research team will conduct a visit to 

each of the 24 grantee sites. Interviews 

with grantee program staff, carried out 

during these visits, will yield detailed 

information on program operations, 

administrative issues, service delivery, 

and promising practices; and 

• 12-month and 36-month participant 

surveys. The survey questions will 

address employment and training 

services received from RExO and other 

sources; outcomes including 

employment, job characteristics (such as 

hourly wages, available fringe benefits, 

and occupations), earnings, and 

recidivism; as well as health status, 

receipt of public assistance, and 

housing. Responses to the survey will be 

the main data source for estimating the 

program impacts. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department is particularly 

interested in comments, which: 

• 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; 

• 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; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• 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 submissions 

of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The ETA 902 Report, Disaster 

Unemployment Assistance (DUA) 

Activities, is a monthly report submitted 

by an impacted State(s) when a major 

disaster is declared by the President that 

provides for individual assistance 

(including DUA). The report contains 

data on DUA claims and payment 

activities associated with administering 

the DUA program. The information is 

used by ETA’s Office of Workforce 

Security (OWS) to determine workload 

counts, for example, the number of 

individuals determined eligible or 

ineligible for DUA, the number of 

appeals filed, and the number of 

overpayments issued. The report also 

allows OWS to track States’ 

administrative costs for the DUA 

program(s).

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which:
