Employment and Training 

Administration is soliciting comments 

concerning the Office of Unemployment 

Insurance’s collection of data on a 

revised form ETA 9000 that provides 

information about Internal Fraud and 

Overpayment Detection and Recovery 

Activities, the approval for which 

currently expires May 31, 2011. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request (ICR) can be obtained 

by contacting the office listed below in 

the addressee section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

addressee’s section below on or before 

March 29, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The ETA 9000 is the only data source 

available on: (1) Instances of internal 

fraud activities within the 

Unemployment Insurance (UI) program; 

and (2) the results of safeguards that 

have been implemented to deter and 

detect instances of internal fraud. It 

categorizes the major areas susceptible 

to internal (employee) fraud and 

provides actual and ‘‘estimated’’ 

workload. The information is used to 

review Internal Security (IS) operations 

and obtain information on composite 

shifting patterns of nationwide activity 

and effectiveness in the area of internal 

fraud identification and prevention. It is 

also used to assess the overall adequacy 

of Internal Security procedures in states’ 

UI programs. 

To streamline UI program reporting in 

general, ETA proposes to merge a few 

cells from ETA 9000 into ETA 227. The 

reason ETA proposes consolidating 

these two information collections is that 

the underlying data collected is similar 

and this revision will reduce state 

reporting burden. 

The ETA 227 contains data on the 

number of occurrences and amounts of 

fraud and non-fraud overpayments 

established, the methods by which 

overpayments were detected, the 

amounts and methods by which 

overpayments were collected, the 

amounts of overpayments waived and 

written off, the accounts receivable for 

overpayments outstanding, and data on 

criminal/civil actions. 

These data are gathered by 53 State 

Workforce Agencies (SWAs) and 

reported to the Department of Labor 

following the end of each calendar 

quarter. The overall effectiveness of 

SWAs’ UI integrity efforts can be 

determined by examining and analyzing 

the data. These data are also used by 

SWAs as a management tool for 

effective UI program administration. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• 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.

stations. The Copyright Office is again 

requesting all interested owners of 

television broadcast stations that qualify 

as specialty stations, including those

Office stating that the programming of 

their stations meets the requirements 

specified under the FCC regulations in 

effect on June 24, 1981. 

DATES: Affidavits should be received on 

or before March 29, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

What is a specialty station? 

The FCC regulations in effect on June 

24, 1981, defined a specialty station as 

‘‘a commercial television broadcast 

station that generally carries foreignlanguage, religious, and/or automated 

programming in one-third of the hours 

of an average broadcast week and onethird of the weekly prime-time hours.’’ 

47 CFR 76.5(kk) (1981). 

How is a station deemed to be a 

specialty station? 1

Under a procedure adopted by the 

Copyright Office in 1989, see 54 FR 

38461 (September 18, 1989), an owner 

or licensee of a broadcast station files a 

sworn affidavit attesting that the 

station’s programming comports with 

the 1981 FCC definition, and hence, 

qualifies as a specialty station. A list of 

the stations filing affidavits is then 

published in the Federal Register in 

order to allow any interested party to 

file an objection to an owner’s claim of 

specialty station status for the listed 

station. Once the period to file 

objections closes, the Office publishes a 

final list which includes references to 

the specific objections filed against a 

particular station owner’s claim. In 

addition, affidavits that are submitted 

after the close of the filing period are 

accepted and kept on file at the 

Copyright Office. 

The staff of the Copyright Office, 

however, does not verify the specialty 

station status of any station listed in an 

affidavit. 

Why would a broadcast station seek 

specialty station status? 

Specialty station status is significant 

in the administration of the cable 

statutory license. 17 U.S.C. 111. A cable 

operator may carry the signal of a 

television station classified as a 

specialty station at the base rate for 

‘‘permitted’’ signals. See 49 FR 14944 

(April 16, 1984); 37 CFR 256.2(c). 

How does the staff of the Copyright 

Office use the list? 

Copyright Office licensing examiners 

refer to the final annotated list in 

examining a statement of account in the 

case where a cable system operator 

claims that a particular station is a 

specialty station. If a cable system 

operator claims specialty station status 

for a station not on the final list, its 

classification as a specialty station will 

be questioned unless the examiner 

determines that the owner of the station 

has filed an affidavit since publication 

of the list. 

How often has the Copyright Office 

published specialty station lists? 

The Copyright Office compiled and 

published its first specialty station list 

in 1990, together with an announcement 

of its intention to update the list 

approximately every three years in order 

to maintain as current a list as possible. 

55 FR 40021 (October 1, 1990). Its 

second list was published in 1995. 60 

FR 34303 (June 30, 1995). Its third list 

was published in 1998. 63 FR 67703 

(December 8, 1998). Its fourth list was 

published in 2007. 72 FR 60029 

(October 23, 2007). With this notice, the 

Copyright Office is initiating the 

procedure for the compilation and 

publication of the fifth specialty station 

list. 

Does this notice require action on the 

part of an owner of a television 

broadcast station? 

Yes. We are requesting that the owner, 

or a valid agent of the owner, of any 

eligible television broadcast station 

submit an affidavit to the Copyright 

Office stating that he or she believes that 

the station qualifies as a specialty 

station under 47 CFR 76.5(kk) (1981), 

the FCC’s former rule defining 

‘‘specialty station.’’ The affidavit must be 

certified by the owner or an official 

representing the owner. 

Affidavits are due within 60 days of 

the publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. There is no specific 

format for the affidavit; however, the 

affidavit must confirm that the station 

owner believes that the station qualifies 

as a specialty station under the 1981 

FCC rule. 

Notwithstanding the above, any 

affidavit submitted to the Copyright 

Office within the 45-day period prior to 

publication of this notice need not be 

resubmitted to the Office. Any affidavit 

filed during this 45-day period shall be 

considered timely filed for purposes of 

this notice. 

What happens after the affidavits are 

filed with the Copyright Office? 

Once the period for filing the 

affidavits closes, the Office will compile 

and publish in the Federal Register a 

list of the stations identified in the 

affidavits. At the same time, it will 

solicit comment from any interested 

party as to whether or not particular 

stations on the list qualify as specialty 

stations. Thereafter, a final list of the 

specialty stations that includes 

references to any objections filed to a 

station’s claim will be published in the 

Federal Register. 

In addition, affidavits that, for good 

cause shown, are submitted after the 

close of the filing period will be 

accepted and kept on file at the 

Copyright Office. Affidavits received in 

this manner will be accepted with the 

understanding that the owners of those 

stations will resubmit affidavits when 

the Office next formally updates the 

specialty station list. Any interested 

party may file an objection to any latefiled affidavit. Such objections shall be 

kept on file in the Copyright Office 

together with the corresponding 

affidavit.
