-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting this Employment 
and Training Administration (ETA)-sponsored information collection 
request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review 
and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are invited.

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that agency receives 
on or before January 22, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
    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) if the information will be processed and used in a timely 
manner; (3) 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; (4) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (5) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mara Blumenthal by telephone at 202-
693-8538, or by email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#31757e7d6e6163706e6164737d787271555e5d1f565e47"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="24606b687b7476657b747166686d6764404b480a434b52">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 1137(d) and (e) of the Social 
Security Act (SSA) authorize this information collection. This 
information collection permits DOL to comply with its responsibilities 
under the SSA to gather information from state agencies concerning 
alien claimant activities. The ETA 9016 report allows DOL to determine 
the number of aliens filing for unemployment insurance (UI), the number 
of benefit issues detected, and the numbers of denials resulting from 
use of the USCIS SAVE system. From these data, DOL can determine the 
extent to which state agencies use the system, and the overall 
effectiveness and cost efficiency of the USCIS SAVE verification 
system. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the 
related notice published in the Federal Register on May 12, 2020 (85 FR 
28037).
    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.

    OMB Control Number: 1205-0268.
