DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

Announcement Regarding States 

Triggering ‘‘off’’ of Tiers Three and 

Four of Emergency Unemployment 

Compensation 2008 (EUC08) 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Announcement regarding 

states triggering ‘‘off’’ of Tiers Three and 

Four of the Emergency Unemployment 

Compensation (EUC08) program. 

Public Law 111–205 extended 

provisions in Public Law 111–92 which 

amended prior laws to create a Third 

and Fourth Tier of benefits within the 

EUC08 program for qualified 

unemployed workers claiming benefits 

in high unemployment states. The 

Department of Labor produces a trigger 

notice indicating which states qualify 

for EUC08 benefits within Tiers Three 

and Four and provides the beginning 

and ending dates of payable periods for 

each qualifying state. The trigger notice 

covering state eligibility for the EUC08 

program can be found at: http:// 

ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/ 

claims_arch.asp. A new trigger notice is 

posted at this location each week that 

the program is in effect. 

Based on data published September 

21, 2010 by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, the following trigger changes 

have occurred for states in the EUC08 

program: 

• New Hampshire’s three month 

average seasonally-adjusted TUR for 

August declined to 5.8%, below the 

6.0% threshold to remain ‘‘on’’ Tier 

Three, hence the state triggered off of 

Tier Three. As a result, New Hampshire 

concluded its payable period in the 

third tier of the EUC program on 

October 16, 2010. Eligibility for 

claimants in New Hampshire have been 

reduced from a maximum potential 

entitlement of 47 weeks to a maximum 

potential entitlement of 34 weeks in the 

EUC program. 

• Delaware’s three month average 

seasonally-adjusted TUR for August 

2010 declined to 8.4%, below the 8.5% 

threshold to remain ‘‘on’’ Tier Four 

hence the state has triggered off of Tier 

Four. As a result, Delaware concluded 

its payable period in the Fourth tier of 

the EUC program on October 16, 2010. 

Eligibility for claimants in Delaware has 

been reduced from a maximum 

potential entitlement of 53 weeks to a 

maximum potential entitlement of 47 

weeks in the EUC program. 

Information for Claimants 

The duration of benefits payable in 

the EUC program, and the terms and 

conditions under which they are 

payable, are governed by Public Laws 

110–252, 110–449, 111–5, 111–92, 111– 

118, 111–144, 111–157, and 111–205, 

and the operating instructions issued to 

the states by the U.S. Department of 

Labor. Persons who believe they may be 

entitled to additional benefits under the 

EUC08 program, or who wish to inquire 

about their rights under the program, 

should contact their State Workforce 

Agency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Evaluation of the 

National Science Foundation’s Math 

and Science Partnership (MSP) Program. 

OMB Control No.: 3145–0200. 

Abstract: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) requests a three-year 

clearance for an evaluation of the Math 

and Science Partnership (MSP) program. 

The MSP program is a research and 

development (R&D) effort funded by the 

NSF to integrate the work of higher 

education, especially disciplinary 

faculty in math, sciences, and 

engineering, with that of K–12 

communities in order to strengthen and 

reform math and science education. The 

program is authorized under the NSF 

Authorization Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107– 

368), December 19, 2002 (to authorize 

appropriations for FY 2003–07 and ‘‘for 

other purposes’’). MSP is among 11 

programs specifically authorized by the 

legislation (Sec. 11 authorizes a 12th 

program, the Centers for Research on 

Mathematics and Science Learning and 

Education Improvement). 

NSF’s MSP program portfolio consists 

of about 80 awards or projects (e.g. 

design grants, standard or continuing 

grants or cooperative agreements) that 

initially were funded between 2002 and 

2004. The type of awards subject to 

study and data collection, however, 

include only the comprehensive MSPs, 

targeted MSPs and teacher institute 

partnerships, or a universe of 

approximately 65 discrete projects. 

The evaluation’s data collection and 

analysis activities will be conducted by 

COSMOS Corporation, Bethesda, MD, in 

partnership with Brown University via 

a contract administered by the NSF’s 

Division of Research, Evaluation and 

Communication (REC). This evaluation 

involves both quantitative and 

qualitative data, collected from multiple 

sources using multiple methods, 

including secondary analyses of projectrelated materials such as existing 

databases (MSP Management 

Information System—OMB 3145–0199), 

annual reports, Web sites, and relevant
