Comments and questions about the ICR
listed below should be received 5 days
prior to the requested OMB approval
date.
The OMB 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
clarify 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 of Collection: Recovery Act—
Applications for Unemployment

Payments.

collection.

Agencies.

Description: Section 2003(f) of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (ARRA) provides for
unemployment insurance (UI)
‘‘modernization incentive payments’’ to
be made from the Unemployment Trust
Fund (UTF) to the states. The total
amount available for all states is $7
billion dollars. To obtain its share, the
state must make an application to the
Department of Labor demonstrating that
its UI law contains certain benefit
eligibility provisions. The last date on
which an incentive distribution may be
made is September 30, 2011. When
applying for a share of the UI
modernization incentive payments, a
state must document that the provisions
of its law meet the requirements for
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
obtaining an incentive payment. The
state is also required to describe how it
intends to use any incentive payment to
improve or strengthen its UI program.
Why are we requesting Emergency
Processing? If DOL were to comply with
standard PRA clearance procedures, it
would not be able to comply with the
ARRA-mandated payment schedule
because procedures for these payments
must be in place immediately. The
statute provides that states need the
means to access the funds as soon as
possible. Otherwise, harm to the
nation’s economic recovery could
ensue. Finally, in preparing the
guidelines, the Department has taken all
necessary steps to consult with state
workforce agencies in order to minimize
the burden of collecting the information
while adhering to ARRA payment and
monitoring provisions.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
