SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Unemployment Insurance Data 

Validation Program requires States to 

operate a system for ascertaining the 

validity (i.e., adherence to Federal 

reporting requirements) of specified 

unemployment insurance data 

submitted to the ETA on certain reports 

they are required to submit monthly or 

quarterly. Some of these data are used 

to assess performance, including for the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act, or to determine States grants for 

administration of the Unemployment 

Insurance Program. 

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 

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 that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1205–0431. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on July 

31, 2013; however, it should be noted 

that existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. The new 

information collection requirements 

would take effect upon OMB approval. 

For additional information, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on July 31, 2012 (77 FR 41452). 

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 help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB Control Number 1205– 

0431. 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.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor 

(DOL), as part of its continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, conducts a preclearance

proposed and/or continuing collections 

of information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that required 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed.
