SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Secretary of Labor, under the Social 

Security Act, Title III, Section 302 (42 

U.S.C. 502), funds the necessary cost of 

proper and efficient administration of 

each State Unemployment Insurance 

law. The BTQ system collects 

information and analyzes data. BTQ 

data measure the timeliness and quality 

of states’ administrative actions and 

administrative decisions related to 

Unemployment Insurance benefit 

payments. 

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 it is 

currently approved by the OMB under 

the PRA 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 if the 

collection of information does not 

display a currently valid OMB control 

number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 

1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval 

for this information collection under 

OMB Control Number 1205–0359. The 

current OMB approval is scheduled to 

expire on November 30, 2010; however, 

it should be noted that information 

collections submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional information, see the related 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on September 10, 2010 (75 FR 55357). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to ensure the appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

reference OMB Control Number 1205– 

0357. The OMB is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• 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 submission of 

responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Form ETA 

207 collects data on the number and 

types of issues that are adjudicated 

when unemployment insurance (UI) 

claims are filed. The Form also collects 

data on the number of disqualifications 

that are issued for reasons associated 

with a claimant’s separation from 

employment and reasons related to a 

claimant’s continuing eligibility for 

benefits. These data are used by the 

Office of Unemployment Insurance to 

determine workload counts for 

allocation of administrative funds, to 

analyze the ratio of disqualifications to 

determinations, and to examine and 

evaluate the program effect of 

nonmonetary activities.

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Benefit Appeals Report contains 

information on the number of 

unemployment insurance appeals and 

the resultant decisions classified by 

program, appeals level, cases filed and 

disposed of (workflow), and decisions 

by level, appellant, and issue. The data 

in this report are used by the DOL to 

monitor the benefit appeals process in 

the State Workforce Agencies and to 

develop any needed plans for remedial 

action. The data are also needed for 

workload forecasts and to determine 

administrative funding. If this 

information were not available, 

developing problems might not be 

discovered early enough to allow for 

timely solutions and avoidance of time 

consuming and costly corrective action. 

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
