693–2724 (this is not a toll-free number) 

or by email at Cynthia.greene.m@

dol.gov. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as 

part of continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for final 

approval. This program helps to ensure 

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 can be properly assessed. 

Section 303(a)(4) of the Social 

Security Act (SSA) and Section 

3304(a)(3) of the Federal Unemployment 

Tax (FUTA) require that all monies 

received in the unemployment fund of 

a state be paid immediately to the 

Secretary of the Treasury to the credit of 

the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF). 

This is the ‘‘immediate deposit’’ 

standard. Section 303(a)(5) of the SSA 

and Section 3304(a)(4) of the FUTA 

require that all monies withdrawn from 

the UTF be used solely for the payment 

of unemployment compensation, 

exclusive of the expenses of 

administration. This is the ‘‘limited 

withdrawal’’ standard. 

Federal law (Section 303(a)(6) of the 

SSA) gives the Secretary of Labor the 

authority to require the reporting of 

information deemed necessary to assure 

state compliance with the provisions of 

the SSA. Under this authority, the 

Secretary of Labor requires the 

following reports to monitor state 

compliance with the immediate deposit 

and limited withdrawal standards: 

ETA 2112: UI Financial Transactions 

Summary, Unemployment Fund, 

ETA 8401: Monthly Analysis of 

Benefit Payment Account, 

ETA 8403: Summary of Financial 

Transactions—Title IX Funds, 

ETA 8405: Monthly Analysis of 

Clearing Account, 

ETA 8413: Income-Expense Analysis 

Unemployment Compensation (UC) 

Fund, Benefit Payment Account, and 

ETA 8414: Income-Expense Analysis 

UC Fund, Clearing Account. 

Section 303(a)(6) of the SSA authorizes 

this information collection. 

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 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. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of the final ICR. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB control number 1205– 

0154. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet, without 

redaction. DOL encourages commenters 

not to include personally identifiable 

information, confidential business data, 

or other sensitive statements/ 

information in any comments. 

DOL 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).
