(DOL) Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA) is soliciting 

comments concerning a proposed 

extension for the authority to conduct 

the information collection request (ICR) 

titled, Unemployment Compensation for 

Federal Employees Handbook No. 391. 

This comment request is part of 

continuing Departmental efforts to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA). 

DATES: Consideration will be given to all 

written comments received by 

September 27, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with 

applicable supporting documentation, 

including a description of the likely

or by email at: Edens.Candace@dol.gov. 

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. 

Title 5 U.S.C. 8506 states that ‘‘[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.’’ 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. 

State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) 

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 

that apply to unemployed claimants 

who worked in the private sector. SWAs 

must be able to obtain certain 

information (wage and separation data) 

about each claimant filing claims for 

UCFE benefits to enable them to 

determine an individual’s eligibility for 

benefits. DOL 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. The law (5 U.S.C. 8501, 

et seq.), 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– 

0179. 

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 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
40880 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 143 / Thursday, July 29, 2021 / Notices 

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).

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

Notice of a Change in Status of the 

Extended Benefit (EB) Program for 

California, Nevada, and New York 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

This notice announces changes in 

benefit period eligibility under the EB 

program that have occurred since the 

publication of the last notice regarding 

the States’ EB status: 

• Based on the data released by the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics on July 16, 

2021, the seasonally-adjusted total 

unemployment rate for California, 

Nevada, and New York fell below the 

8.0 percent threshold necessary to 

remain ‘‘on’’ a High Unemployment 

Period in EB. As such, beginning August 

8, 2021, the maximum potential 

entitlement for claimants in EB in these 

states will decrease from 20 weeks to 13 

weeks. 

The trigger notice covering state 

eligibility for the EB program can be 

found at: http://ows.doleta.gov/ 

unemploy/claims_arch.as. 

Information for Claimants 

The duration of benefits payable in 

the EB program, and the terms and 

conditions on which they are payable, 

are governed by the Federal-State 

Extended Unemployment Compensation 

Act of 1970, as amended, and the 

operating instructions issued to the 

states by the U.S. Department of Labor. 

In the case of a state beginning an EB 

period, the State Workforce Agency will 

furnish a written notice of potential 

entitlement to each individual who has 

exhausted all rights to regular benefits 

and is potentially eligible for EB (20 

CFR 615.13(c)(1)). 

Persons who believe they may be 

entitled to EB, or who wish to inquire 

about their rights under the program, 

should contact their State Workforce 

Agency.
