# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

                        Mara Blumenthal by telephone at 202-693-8538, or by email at                         *DOL_PRA_PUBLIC@dol.gov.*

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

5 U.S.C. 8501,                     *et seq.*                     authorizes this information collection. Per the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees Act, “[E]ach 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.” DOL has prescribed forms to enable State Workforce Agencies to obtain this necessary information from the individual's Federal employing agency. The UCFE forms are: ETA-931, ETA-931A, ETA-933, ETA-934, and ETA-935. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on July 29, 2021 (86 FR 40879).                

                    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 the OMB approves it 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 OMB Control Number.                     *See*5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.                

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
