local laws, and a review of the 

company’s background and history.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The Army 

Unemployment Compensation for ExService Members (UCX) Claimants’ 

Initiative, funded by the U.S. 

Department of Labor, Employment and 

Training Administration (ETA), 

provides grants to four states to improve 

strategies for providing reemployment 

services to Army UCX claimants and for 

leveraging assets and sharing data across 

partners. The major goals of the 

initiative are to create a strong 

collaborative partnership among the 

Unemployment Insurance (UI) system, 

the public workforce system, and the 

three components of the Army (active, 

National Guard, and Reserve) that will 

support the rapid reemployment of UCX 

claimants; improve the sharing of UCX 

data that will lead to improved outreach 

and better understanding of UCX 

claimants and their service delivery 

needs; and increase outreach, exposure 

to jobs, and reemployment strategies for 

UCX claimants that fully leverage 

existing resources with new and 

innovative service delivery strategies. 

The period of performance for the grants 

is from July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2014. 

The purpose of the evaluation, funded 

by the Chief Evaluation Office, is to 

determine the extent to which the 

initiative’s goals were achieved by each 

of the four grantee states. The evaluation 

will examine the services received by 

UCX claimants and how claimants’ 

employment outcomes changed over the 

course of the grant period. 

Policymakers, program administrators, 

and service providers will gain 

information about the relative 

effectiveness of various strategies 

developed by states, ease of 

implementation, and suggestions for 

replication. 

This package requests clearance for 

semi-structured discussions that will 

take place during a single round of twoday visits to each of the sites in the 

winter of 2013–2014. The site visits will 

involve an array of individuals that 

varies by state based on the projects that 

each state has decided to implement. 

Conversations will take place with 

grantee leaders, staff of an American Job 

Center, and representatives of the UI 

system in each state. Other discussants 

will include a suitable combination of 

representatives of the Army and other 

participants in the initiative. The site 

visit will facilitate an assessment of the 

progress of these efforts, information 

gathering, and potential for the delivery 

of additional in-person technical 

assistance. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments: 

Currently, the Department of Labor is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

above data collection for Evaluation of 

the Army UCX Claimants Initiative. 

Comments are requested to: 

* 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;

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

* Minimize the burden of the 

information collection on those who are 

to respond, including 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.

Unemployment Compensation for ExServicemembers (UCX) Claimants 

Initiative.
