**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.

**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
