proposed and/or continuing collections 

of information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 [44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program 

helps 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. 

Currently, ETA is soliciting comments 

concerning the collection of data about 

Unemployment Compensation for 

Federal Employees which expires 

October 31, 2015. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

addresses section below on or before 

June 15, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to

Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20210. Telephone

collection request (ICR), please contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Chapter 5 U.S.C. 8506 states that 

‘‘Each agency of the United States and 

each wholly or partially owned 

instrumentality of the United States 

shall make available to State agencies 

which have agreements, or to the 

Secretary of Labor, as the case may be, 

such information concerning the 

Federal service and Federal wages of a 

Federal employee as the Secretary 

considers practicable and necessary for 

the determination of the entitlement of 

the Federal employee to compensation 

under this subchapter.’’ The information 

shall include the findings of the 

employing agency concerning: 

(1) Whether or not the Federal 

employee has performed Federal 

service; 

(2) The periods of Federal service; 

(3) The amount of Federal wages; and 

(4) The reasons for termination of 

Federal service. 

The law (5 U.S.C. 8501, et seq.) requires 

State Workforce Agencies (SWA’s) to 

administer the Unemployment 

Compensation for Federal Employees 

(UCFE) program in accordance with the 

same terms and provisions of the paying 

State’s unemployment insurance law 

which apply to unemployed claimants 

who worked in the private sector. 

SWA’s must be able to obtain certain 

information (wage, separation data) 

about each claimant filing claims for 

UCFE benefits to enable them to 

determine his/her eligibility for benefits. 

The Department of Labor has prescribed 

forms to enable SWAs to obtain this 

necessary information from the 

individual’s Federal employing agency. 

Each of these forms is essential to the 

UCFE claims process and the frequency 

of use varies depending upon the 

circumstances involved. The UCFE 

forms are: ETA–931, ETA–931A, ETA– 

933, ETA–934, and ETA–935. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department 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, including through 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.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Request of Recommendations for 

Membership for Directorate and Office 

Advisory Committees 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) requests 

recommendations for membership on its 

scientific and technical Federal advisory 

committees. Recommendations should 

consist of the submitting person’s or 

organization’s name and affiliation, the 

name of the recommended individual, 

the recommended individual’s 

curriculum vita, an expression of the 

individual’s interest in serving, and the 

following recommended individual’s 

contact information: Employment 

address, telephone number, FAX 

number, and email address. Self 

recommendations are accepted. If you 

would like to make a membership 

recommendation for any of the NSF 

scientific and technical Federal advisory 

committees, please send your 

recommendation to the appropriate 

committee contact person listed in the 

chart below. 

ADDRESSES: The mailing address for the 

National Science Foundation is 4201 

Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22230. 

Web links to individual committee 

information may be found on the NSF 

Web site: NSF Advisory Committees. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each 

Directorate and Office has an external 

advisory committee that typically meets 

twice a year to review and provide 

advice on program management; 

discusses current issues; and reviews 

and provides advice on the impact of 

policies, programs, and activities in the 

disciplines and fields encompassed by 

the Directorate or Office. In addition to 

Directorate and Office advisory 

committees, NSF has several 

committees that provide advice and 

recommendations on specific topics 

including: Astronomy and astrophysics; 

environmental research and education; 

equal opportunities in science and 

engineering; advanced 

cyberinfrastructure; international 

science and engineering; and business 

and operations. 

A primary consideration when 

formulating committee membership is 

recognized knowledge, expertise, or 

demonstrated ability 1. Other factors that 

may be considered are balance among 

diverse institutions, regions, and groups 

underrepresented in science, 

technology, engineering, and 

mathematics. Committee members serve 

for varying term lengths, depending on 

the nature of the individual committee. 

Although we welcome the 

recommendations we receive, we regret 

that NSF will not be able to 

acknowledge or respond positively to 

each person who contacts NSF or has 

been recommended. NSF intends to 

publish a similar notice to this on an 

annual basis. NSF will keep 

recommendations active for 12 months 

from the date of receipt. 

The chart below is a listing of the 

committees seeking recommendations 

for membership. Recommendations 

should be sent to the contact person 

identified below. The chart contains 

Web addresses where additional 

information about individual 

committees are available.
