titled, ‘‘Required Elements of an 

Unemployment Insurance (UI) 

Reemployment Services and Eligibility 

Assessments (RESEA) Grant State Plan.’’ 

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 June 13,

respondents, proposed frequency of 

response, and estimated total burden,

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. 

The federal-state UI program is a 

required partner in the comprehensive, 

integrated workforce system. 

Individuals who have lost employment 

through no fault of their own and have 

earned sufficient wage credits may 

receive UI benefits if they meet initial 

and continuing eligibility requirements. 

Since 2005, one of the ways that the 

Department and participating state UI 

agencies have been addressing 

individual reemployment needs of UI 

claimants and working to prevent and 

detect UI improper payments is through 

the voluntary UI Reemployment and 

Eligibility Assessment (REA) program. 

Beginning in FY 2015, states 

transitioned from REA to the voluntary 

RESEA program. 

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, 

Public Law 115–123 (BBA), enacted on 

February 9, 2018, included amendments 

to the Social Security Act (SSA) creating 

a permanent authorization for the 

RESEA program. The RESEA provisions 

are contained in Section 30206 of the 

BBA, enacting new section 306 of the 

SSA. Section 306(e), SSA, provides the 

authorization and specific requirements 

for an annual RESEA state plan. To 

receive an RESEA grant, a state must 

submit an annual RESEA state plan that 

responds to all required elements and is 

approved by the Secretary of Labor. In 

2019, ETA developed this state plan 

data collection to closely align with the 

statutory annual report requirements 

detailed in Section 306(3), SSA, and the 

essential administrative information 

necessary to complete the review, 

execution, and oversight of RESEA 

grants. ETA proposes to renew this data 

collection with several revisions 

intended to reflect recent changes to the 

RESEA program, to remove elements 

that are no longer routinely used to 

support grant management, and to 

provide states with the opportunity to 

include additional narrative 

descriptions that more fully reflect the 

state’s planned RESEA activities and the 

economic or other factors that the state 

considered during the planning process. 

These proposed revisions include: 

• Narrative boxes will be added to 

plan elements to allow states to provide 

additional information, clarifications, or 

other information relevant for the 

Department’s wholistic review of 

planned RESEA activities; 

• All response length limitations will 

be removed; 

• Elements related to service delivery 

strategies will be revised to reflect 

recent program changes that allow for 

virtual and remote services; 

• Information about administrative 

and staff-costs associated with specific 

RESEA services will no longer be 

collected; and 

• To support the fiscal year 2023 

implementation of section 303(c)(2), 

SSA, which requires states to devote a 

specific percentage of their RESEA 

funding to evidence-based components 

with a high or moderate causal rating 

that show a demonstrated capacity to 

improve employment and earnings 

outcomes for program participants, 

elements identifying planned evidencebased components will be revised to 

include funding-level information. 

42 U.S.C. 506(e) 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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 72 / Thursday, April 14, 2022 / Notices 22235 

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 No. 1205–0538. 

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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The ATUS is the Nation’s first 

federally administered, continuous 

survey on time use in the United States. 

It measures, for example, time spent 

with children, working, sleeping, or 

doing leisure activities. In the United 

States, several existing Federal surveys 

collect income and wage data for 

individuals and families, and analysts 

often use such measures of material 

prosperity as proxies for quality of life. 

Time-use data substantially augment 

these quality-of-life measures. The data 

also can be used in conjunction with 

wage data to evaluate the contribution 

of non-market work to national 

economies. This enables comparisons of 

production between nations that have 

different mixes of market and nonmarket activities. 

The ATUS develops nationally 

representative estimates of how people 

spend their time. Respondents also 

report who was with them during 

activities, where they were, how long 

each activity lasted, and if they were 

paid. All of this information has 

numerous practical applications for 

sociologists, economists, educators, 

government policymakers, 

businesspersons, health researchers, and 

others, answering questions such as: 

• Do the ways people use their time 

vary across demographic and labor force 

characteristics, such as age, sex, race, 

ethnicity, employment status, earnings, 

and education? 

• How much time do parents spend 

in the company of their children, either 

actively providing care or being with 

them while socializing, relaxing, or 

doing other things? How has this 

changed over time? 

• How are earnings related to leisure 

time—do those with higher earnings 

spend more or less time relaxing and 

socializing? 

• How much time do people spend 

working at their workplaces and in their 

homes? 

The ATUS data are collected on an 

ongoing basis nearly every day of the 

year, allowing analysts to identify 

changes in how people spend their time. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for the 

American Time Use Survey (ATUS). 

This survey collects information on how 

individuals in the United States use 

their time. Collection is done on a 

continuous basis with the sample drawn 

monthly. The survey sample is drawn 

from households completing their 8th 

month of interviews for the Current 

Population Survey (CPS). Households
