SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. 

Background: Funds will be awarded to 

participating states in REA program year 

2012 to continue the Reemployment and 

Eligibility Assessment (REA) initiative. 

The REA guidelines require that these 

funds be used to conduct in-person 

assessments in the One-Stop Career 

Centers. The REA must include an 

unemployment insurance (UI) eligibility 

review, the provision of labor market 

information, development of a reemployment plan and referral to 

reemployment services and/or training, 

as appropriate. The guidelines require 

that participation exclude those 

claimants who have a specific return-towork date. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments: 

Currently, the Employment and 

Training Administration is soliciting 

comments on extending the collection 

of the ETA 9128, Reemployment and 

Eligibility Assessments Workloads 

Report and the ETA 9129, 

Reemployment and Eligibility 

Assessments Outcomes Report. 

Comments are requested to: 

* Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary to 

assess performance of the REA 

initiative, including whether the 

information has 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 the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submissions of responses. 

III. Current Actions: The continued 

collection of the information contained 

on the ETA 9128 and the ETA 9129 

reports is necessary to enable the Office 

of Unemployment Insurance (OUI) to 

continue evaluating the effectiveness of 

this initiative through workload and 

outcomes reports.

change.

Administration (ETA).

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Proposed Information Collection 

Request of the ETA 204, Experience 

Rating Report; Comment Request on 

Extension Without Change 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on 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 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 on respondents can be 

properly assessed. 

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 section below on or before 

March 13, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Edward 

M. Dullaghan, U.S. Department of 

Labor, Employment and Training 

Administration, Office of Workforce 

Security, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., 

Frances Perkins Bldg. Room S–4524,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The data submitted 

annually on the ETA–204 report enables 

the Employment and Training 

Administration to project revenues for 

the Unemployment Insurance (UI) 

program on a state-by-state basis and to 

measure the variations in assigned 

contribution rates which result from 

different experience rating systems. 

Used in conjunction with other data, the 

ETA–204 assists in determining the 

effects of certain factors (e.g., 

seasonality, stabilization, expansion, or 

contraction in employment, etc.) on the 

unemployment experience of various 

groups of employers. The data also 

provide an early signal for potential 

solvency problems and are useful in 

analyzing factors which give rise to 

these potential problems and permit an 

evaluation of the effectiveness of the 

various approaches available to correct 

the detected problems. The report 

collects annual information about the 

taxing efforts in states relative to both 

taxable and total wages and allows 

comparison between states. Further, the 

data are key components to the 

Significant Tax Measures Report. The 

Significant Tax Measures Report 

provides the information necessary to 

evaluate and compare state UI tax 

systems. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments: 

Currently, the Employment and 

Training Administration is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

extension of the ETA–204, Experience

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility;

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

provisions of the Servicing Multi-Piece 

and Single Piece Rim Wheels Standard 

include a requirement that the 

manufacturer or a Registered 

Professional Engineer certify that 

repaired restraining devices and barriers 

meet the strength requirements 

specified in the Standard, and a 

requirement that defective wheels and 

wheel components be marked or tagged. 

The purpose of the requirement is to 

reduce workers’ risk of death or serious 

injury by ensuring that restraining 

devices used by them during the 

servicing of multi-piece rim wheels are 

in safe operating condition. 

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 if the 

collection of information does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The 

DOL obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under OMB 

Control Number 1218–0219. The current 

OMB approval is scheduled to expire on 

January 31, 2012; however, it should be 

noted that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review. 

For additional information, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on September 8, 2011 (76 FR 

55708). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of

consideration, comments should

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the
