    Description: Section 303(a)(6), Social Security Act, Public Law 74-
271, (SSA), requires, as a condition of receiving administrative 
grants, that State law contain provision for the ``making of such 
reports, in such form and containing such information, as the Secretary 
of Labor may from time to time require, and compliance with such 
provisions as the Secretary of Labor may from time to time find 
necessary to ensure the correctness and verification of such reports.'' 
Departmental regulations at 20 CFR 601.3 in part implement this 
requirement by requiring the submission of ``all relevant state 
materials, such as statutes, executive and administrative orders, legal 
opinions, rules, regulations, interpretations, court opinions, etc. * * 
*'' Also, the regulations for the Unemployment Compensation (UC) for 
Federal Civilian Employees (UCFE) program at 20 CFR 609.1(d)(1) and for 
the UC for ex-service members (UCX) program at 20 CFR 614.1(d)(1) 
require submission of certain documents to assure that states are 
properly administering these programs. The Trade Adjustment Assistance 
(which includes Trade Readjustment Allowances) program (TAA/TRA) 
regulations provide similar requirements at 20 CFR 617.52(c)(1).
    The Form MA 8-7 is the mechanism for implementing these submittal 
requirements, the purpose of which is to provide the Secretary with 
sufficient information to determine if (a) employers in a state qualify 
for tax credits under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act; (b) the state 
meets the requirements for obtaining administrative grants under Title 
III, SSA; and (c) the state is fulfilling it obligations under Federal 
UC programs. For additional information, see related notice published 
in the Federal Register on January 25, 2010 (75 FR 3926).
