SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
BILLING CODE 4310–40–P
Jkt 235001
I. Background
Chapter 5 U.S.C. 8506 states that
‘‘Each 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
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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.
The law (5 U.S.C. 8501, et seq.) requires
State Workforce Agencies (SWA’s) to
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
which apply to unemployed claimants
who worked in the private sector.
SWA’s must be able to obtain certain
information (wage, separation data)
about each claimant filing claims for
UCFE benefits to enable them to
determine his/her eligibility for benefits.
The Department of Labor 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.
II. Review Focus
The Department 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.

committees. Recommendations should
consist of the submitting person’s or
organization’s name and affiliation, the
name of the recommended individual,
the recommended individual’s
curriculum vita, an expression of the
individual’s interest in serving, and the
following recommended individual’s
contact information: Employment

ADDRESSES: The mailing address for the
National Science Foundation is 4201
Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22230.
Web links to individual committee
information may be found on the NSF
Web site: NSF Advisory Committees.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each
Directorate and Office has an external
advisory committee that typically meets
twice a year to review and provide
advice on program management;
discusses current issues; and reviews
and provides advice on the impact of
policies, programs, and activities in the
disciplines and fields encompassed by
the Directorate or Office. In addition to
Directorate and Office advisory
committees, NSF has several
committees that provide advice and
recommendations on specific topics
including: Astronomy and astrophysics;
environmental research and education;
equal opportunities in science and
engineering; advanced
cyberinfrastructure; international
science and engineering; and business
and operations.
A primary consideration when
formulating committee membership is
recognized knowledge, expertise, or
demonstrated ability 1. Other factors that
may be considered are balance among
diverse institutions, regions, and groups
underrepresented in science,
technology, engineering, and
mathematics. Committee members serve
for varying term lengths, depending on
the nature of the individual committee.
Although we welcome the
recommendations we receive, we regret
that NSF will not be able to
acknowledge or respond positively to
each person who contacts NSF or has
been recommended. NSF intends to
publish a similar notice to this on an
annual basis. NSF will keep
recommendations active for 12 months
from the date of receipt.
