DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Comment Request for Information 

Collection for Unemployment 

Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers 

(UCX) Handbook; Extension Without 

Change 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration. 

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 

(PRA95) [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 extension of the 

Unemployment Compensation for ExServicemembers (UCX) Handbook, 

Number 384. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request (ICR) can be obtained 

by contacting the office listed below in 

the addressee section of this notice or by 

accessing: http://www.doleta.gov/ 

OMBCN/OMBControlNumber.cfm. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 


dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
23888 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 97 / Thursday, May 21, 2009 / Notices 

addressee’s section below on or before 

July 20, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments 

to Keith Ribnick, Office of Workforce 

Security, Room S–4231, Employment 

and Training Administration, 200 

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, 

DC 20210. Telephone 202–693–3223 

(this is not a toll-free number). Fax 202– 

693–3975. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The UCX law (5 U.S.C. 

8521–8525) requires SWAs to 

administer the UCX program in 

accordance with the same terms and 

conditions of the paying state’s 

unemployment insurance law which 

apply to unemployed claimants who 

worked in the private sector. Each state 

agency needs to obtain certain military 

service information on claimants filing 

for UCX benefits to enable the state to 

determine their eligibility for benefits. 

As needed, state agencies may record or 

obtain required UCX information on the 

form developed by the Department of 

Labor, ETA 843, Request for Military 

Document and Information. The use of 

this form may be essential to the UCX 

claims process. Form ETA 841, Request 

for Determination of Federal Military 

Service and Wages, is no longer used by 

most states; it has become an optional 

form. 

Information pertaining to the UCX 

claimant can only be obtained from the 

individual’s military discharge papers, 

the appropriate branch of military 

service or the Department of Veterans’ 

Affairs (formerly the Veterans’ 

Administration). Without the claimant’s 

military information, the state cannot 

adequately determine the UCX 

eligibility of ex-servicemembers and 

would not be able to properly 

administer the program. 

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 

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.
