purposes and publish any resulting fee 

adjustments in the Federal Register. 

Accordingly, the FBI conducted a fee 

study using FY 2012 cost information 

applied to the FY 2014 name check 

projections to assess the current cost to 

the FBI of processing name checks. The 

methodology for this new fee study is 

the same as the FBI has used previously, 

employing the Activity Based Cost 

(ABC) accounting method detailed in 

the Final Rule establishing the process 

for setting fees (75 FR 24796 (May 6, 

2010)). The ABC methodology is 

consistent with widely accepted 

accounting principles in addition to the 

provisions of 31 9701 and other 

applicable federal law. The fee study 

identified all direct and indirect costs 

associated with the name-based 

background checks incurred by the FBI 

in fiscal year 2012. 

These costs were analyzed by the ABC 

model to project the total reimbursable 

costs, by fee category, for fiscal year 

2014. The fee study recommended 

several adjustments to the current user 

fees, which have been in effect since 

March 4, 2011. The following table 

details the fee amounts for federal 

agencies requesting name-based 

background checks of the FBI’s CRS 

through the NNCP for noncriminal 

justice purposes.

Expedited Submission ................................................................................................................. 50.75 15.75 66.50 

The higher Batch Fee is based on the 

increase of certain direct costs, such as 

those related to information technology 

acquisition. Manual and Expedited 

Fees, which only accounted for .027% 

of all reimbursable submissions in FY 

2013, increased due to fixed costs 

remaining constant while submissions 

decreased. 

This new fee schedule will become 

effective on October 15, 2014.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Alien Claims Activity Report 

information collection that utilizes 

Reporting Form ETA–9016. The 

information collection allows the ETA 

to determine the number of aliens filing 

for unemployment insurance, the 

number of benefit issues detected, and 

the denials resulting from the U.S. 

Citizenship and Immigration Services 

(USCIS) Systematic Alien Verification 

for Entitlement (SAVE) Program. From 

these data, the ETA can determine the 

extent to which State agencies use the 

system and the overall effectiveness and 

cost efficiency of the USCIS SAVE 

verification system. Social Security Act 

section 303(a)(6) authorizes this 

information collection. See 42 U.S.C. 

503(a)(6). 

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 1205–0268. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

September 30, 2014. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 20, 2014 (79 FR 15612). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at

section within thirty (30) days of

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1205–0268. 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.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Employment and 

Training Administration Disaster 

Unemployment Assistance Handbook, 

which includes Reporting Form ETA– 

902. Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 

and Emergency Assistance Act sections 

410 and 423 provide for assistance to 

eligible individuals who are 

unemployed due to a major disaster. 

State Workforce Agencies through 

individual agreements with the 

Secretary of Labor, act as agents of the 

Federal government in providing 

Disaster Unemployment Assistance 

(DUA) to eligible applicants who are 

unemployed as a direct result of a major 

disaster. Form ETA–902 is a monthly 

report submitted by a State on DUA 

program activities once the President 

declares a disaster. Form ETA–902 is 

prescribed pursuant to regulations 20 

CFR 625.8 and 625.9 and is necessary 

for oversight of the DUA program. This 

information collection has been 

classified as a revision, because Form 

902–A has been discontinued. Form 

902–A was designed specifically for the 

Gulf Coast Oil Spill. The time has 

passed for submitting Form 902–A; 

consequently, its continuance no longer 

has practical utility. Social Security Act 

section 303(a)(6) authorizes this 

information collection. See 42 U.S.C. 

503(a)(6). 

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 1205–0051. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on 

September 30, 2014; however, the DOL 

notes that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review. 

New requirements would only take 

effect upon OMB approval. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice
