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.
