DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training

Administration

ETA–5130 Benefit Appeals Report;

Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: 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 [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, the Employment and

Training Administration is soliciting

comments concerning the proposed

extension collection of the ETA–5130

Benefit Appeals Report. A copy of the

proposed information collection request

can be obtained by contacting the office

listed below in the addressee section of

this notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

addressee section below on or before

July 9, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Jack Bright, Office of

Workforce Security, Employment and

Training Administration, U.S.

Department of Labor, Room S–4516, 200

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,

DC 20210, telephone number (202) 693–

3214 (this is not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The ETA–5130, Benefit Appeals

Report, contains information on the

number of unemployment insurance

appeals and the resultant decisions

classified by program, appeals level,

cases filed and disposed of (workflow),

and decisions by level, appellant and

issue. The data on this report is used by

both the Regional and National Office

Unemployment Insurance staff to

monitor the benefit appeals process in

the State Employment Security

Agencies (SESAs) and to develop any

needed plans for remedial action. The

data is also needed for workload

budgeting and to determine

administrative funding. If this

information were not available,

developing problems might not be

discovered early enough to prevent the

solutions from being extremely time

consuming and costly.

Nearly all States now collect, store

and report this data with automated

systems. Consequently, the burden

hours and burden costs for operation

and maintenance have been reduced

accordingly.

II. Review Focus

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

23952 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 91 / Thursday, May 10, 2001 / Notices

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 submissions

of responses.

III. Current Actions

Continued collection of the ETA–5130

data will provide for continuous

monitoring of the SESAs appellate

processes and needed data for the

budgeting and administrative funding

activities. The data is collected monthly

so that developing backlogs of

undecided appeals can be detected as

early as possible.

Type of Review: Extension.

Agency: Employment and Training

Administration.

Title: Benefit Appeals Report.

OMB Number: 1205–0172.

Agency Number: ETA–5130.

Affected Public: State Governments.

Total Respondents: 53.

Frequency: Monthly.

Total Responses: 636.

Average Time per Response: 1 hour.

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 636

hours.

Total Burden Cost (operating/

maintaining): $15,900.

Comments submitted in response to

this comment request will be

summarized and/or included in the

request for Office of Management and

Budget approval of the information

collection request; they will also

become a matter of public record.
