DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

Revised Schedule of Remuneration for 

the Unemployment Compensation for 

Ex-Servicemembers (UCX) Program 

That Reflects the Military Pay Increase 

Effective January 1, 2025 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Each year, the Department of Defense 

issues a Schedule of Remuneration used 

by states for UCX purposes. States use 

the schedule to determine Federal 

military wages for UCX ‘‘first claims’’ 

only when the Federal Claims Control 

Center (FCCC) responds to a request for 

information indicating that there is no 

Department of Labor copy of the 

Certificate of Release or Discharge from 

Active Duty, commonly known DD 

Form 214 (DD214) for an individual 

under the social security number 

provided. A response from the FCCC 

that indicates ‘‘no DD214 on file’’ will 

prompt the state to start the affidavit 

process and to use the attached 

schedule to calculate the Federal 

military wages for an unemployment 

insurance or UCX monetary 

determination. 

The schedule applies to UCX ‘‘first 

claims’’ filed beginning with the first 

day of the first week that begins on or 

after January 1, 2025, pursuant to the 

UCX program regulations (see 20 CFR 

614.12(c)). States must continue to use 

the 2024 schedule (or other appropriate 

schedule) for UCX ‘‘first claims’’ filed 

before the effective date of the revised 

schedule. Below is the 2025 Federal 

Schedule of Remuneration recently 

released by the Department of Defense.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request; 

Department of Labor-Only 

Performance Accountability, 

Information, and Reporting System 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor 

(DOL) is submitting this Employment 

and Training Administration (ETA)- 

sponsored information collection 

request (ICR) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are 

invited. 

DATES: The OMB will consider all 

written comments that the agency 

receives on or before February 5, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Michael Howell by telephone at 202– 

693–6782, or by email at DOL_PRA_

PUBLIC@dol.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

request fulfills Workforce Innovation 

and Opportunity Act (WIOA) reporting 

requirements regarding the collection of 

performance indicators described in sec. 

116(b)(2)(A). Requirements for state 

level collection of this data for the 

programs contained in this collection 

are based on WIOA requirements. 

As part of this ICR, the Department of 

Labor’s (DOL) Employment and 

Training Administration (ETA) has 

made changes to the Participant 

Individual Record Layout (ETA–9172), 

(Program) Performance Report (ETA– 

9173–APPSHP) to facilitate State and 

grantee performance reporting. In 

particular, as part of DOL’s effort to 

streamline program performance 

reporting for ETA grants with significant 

apprenticeship components as a 

primary goal of the program 

(Apprenticeship grants), DOL is adding 

the performance information collection 

requirements for Apprenticeship grants. 

DOL also is adding a new information 

collection requirement to this ICR: the 

Apprenticeship Outreach: Organization/ 

Employer Record Layout. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on June 24, 2024 (89 

FR 52511). 

Comments are invited on: (1) whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimates of the burden and 

cost of the collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information collection; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

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
