(phone: 202–514–1263). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

process is conducted in accordance with 

5 CFR 1320.10. Written comments and 

suggestions from the public and affected 

agencies concerning the proposed 

collection of information are 

encouraged. Your comments should 

address one or more of the following 

four points: 

—Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Bureau of Justice 

Statistics, 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; 

—Evaluate whether and if so how the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected can be 

enhanced; 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. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection: 

Update with changes, of the Department 

of Justice Equitable Sharing Agreement 

and Certification, a previously approved 

collection for which approval will 

expire on November 30, 2018. 

2. The Title of the Form/Collection: 

Department of Justice Equitable Sharing 

Agreement and Certification. 

3. The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

There is not an agency form number. 

The applicable component within the 

Department of Justice is the Money 

Laundering and Asset Recovery Section 

(‘‘MLARS’’), in the Criminal Division. 

4. Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: 

The Attorney General is required by 

statute to ‘‘assure that any property 

transferred to a State or local law 

enforcement agency . . . will serve to 

encourage further cooperation between 

the recipient State or local agency and 

Federal law enforcement agencies.’’ 21 

U.S.C. 881(e)(3). MLARS ensures such 

cooperation by requiring that all such 

‘‘equitably shared’’ funds be used only 

for law enforcement purposes and not 

be distributed to other governmental 

agencies by the recipient law 

enforcement agencies. By requiring that 

law enforcement agencies that 

participate in the Equitable Sharing 

Program (Program) file an Equitable 

Sharing Agreement and Certification 

(ESAC), MLARS can readily ensure 

compliance with its statutory 

obligations. The ESAC requires 

information regarding the receipt and 

expenditure of Program funds from the 

participating agency. Accordingly, it 

seeks information that is exclusively in 

the hands of the participating agency. 

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: An estimated 6,900 state and 

local law enforcement agencies 

electronically file the ESAC annually 

with MLARS. It is estimated that it takes 

30 minutes per year to enter the 

information. All of the approximately 

6,500 agencies must fully complete the 

form each year to maintain compliance 

and continue participation in the 

Department of Justice Equitable Sharing 

Program. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The estimated public burden 

associated with this collection is 3,250 

hours. It is estimated that respondents 

will take 30 minutes to complete the 

form. (6,500 participants × 30 minutes = 

3,250 hours).

Clearance Officer, United States

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL, 

as part of continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 146 / Monday, July 30, 2018 / Notices 36625 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for final 

approval. This program helps to ensure 

requested 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 can be properly assessed. 

The Distribution of Characteristics of 

the Insured Unemployed is a monthly 

snapshot of the demographic 

composition of the claimant population 

in the Unemployment Insurance (UI) 

system. It is based on those who file a 

claim in the week containing the 19th 

day of the month, which reflects 

unemployment during the week 

containing the 12th day of the month. 

This corresponds with the sample frame 

used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics 

for the production of labor force 

statistics they produce. This report 

serves a variety of socio-economic needs 

because it provides aggregate data 

reflecting UI claimants’ sex, race/ethnic 

group, age, industry, and occupation. 

The Social Security Act, Section 

303(a)(6), authorizes this information 

collection. 

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. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of the final ICR. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB control number 1205– 

0009. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet, without 

redaction. The DOL encourages 

commenters not to include personally 

identifiable information, confidential 

business data, or other sensitive 

statements/information in any 

comments. 

The DOL 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.
