SUMMARY: On May 6, 1998, the Veterans’

Employment and Training Service

published a Federal Register notice (63

FR 25097) requesting public comment

on the proposed extension of the

USERRA. The May 6, notice allowed a

thirty day comment period which

closed June 5, 1998. As the Paperwork

Reduction Act requires a sixty day

public comment period, this notice

provides the public with an additional

thirty day comment period.

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.

Currently VETS is soliciting comments

concerning the proposed extension of

the information collection request for

the Eligibility Data Form, USERRA 38

U.S.C., Chapter 43. The Department of

Labor 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
