PRAMain, or by calling the Department
of Labor Departmental Clearance
Officer, Ira Mills, on 202–693–4122.
Comments and questions about the
ICR listed below should be submitted to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the
Employment and Training
Administration (ETA), Office of
Management and Budget, Room 10235,
Washington, DC 20503 (202–395–7316),
and received prior to the requested
OMB approval date.
The Office of Management and Budget
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.
Agency: Employment and Training
Administration.
Title: Evaluation of State
Implementation of Section 303(k) of the
Social Security Act.
OMB Number: 1205–0NEW.
Frequency: One-time Survey.
Affected Public: State Government.
Type of Response: Reporting.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Estimated Time Per Respondent: 2
hours.
Total Burden Hours: 106.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): 0.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintaining): 0.
Description: The collection of this
information is necessary to examine
state implementation of section 303(k)
of the Social Security Act (SSA) as to (1)
status and effectiveness of state actions
to meet the requirement of the law and
operation guidance, and (2) whether the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) should
recommend Congressional action to
make revisions to the law. On August 9,
2004, Public Law (Pub.L.) 108–295, the
‘‘ State Unemployment Tax Act (SUTA)
Dumping Prevention Act of 2004’’ (Act)
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:03 Mar 13, 2007
Jkt 211001
was enacted which amended section
303(k) of the SSA by establishing a
minimum nationwide standard for
curbing a unemployment compensation
tax rate manipulation schemes known
as SUTA dumping. The Act requires the
Secretary of Labor to conduct a study of
state implementation and report to
Congress by July 15, 2007 at section 2,
F(b)(1). ETA now requests emergency
approval to enable ETA’s contractor
sufficient time to distribute, collect, and
analyze the state survey results and
incorporate them into the study findings
before the July 15, 2007, statutorily
mandated submission date for the
Secretary’s report to Congress. The
timing of the survey design and review
request corresponds with the states’
implementation of the detection
systems, which began after enactment of
the Federal law. If the survey design and
distribution predated the
implementation of state detection
systems, states would be unable to
provide useful data on the status and
effectiveness of state actions to meet the
requirement(s) of the Federal law and
operation guidance.

At the request of the State agency, the

It is the Department’s intent of the
certification to include all workers of
the subject firm adversely affected by
increased imports of nonwoven textiles.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to include
workers of the subject firm whose wages
are reported under the company name,
Reemay, Inc.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–60,568 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Fiberweb (Reemay, Inc.),
Bethune, South Carolina, who became totally
