Form
WD–10 is used by the DOL to elicit
construction project data from
contractor associations, contractors and
unions. The wage data determines
locally prevailing wages under the
Davis-Bacon and Related Acts.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
currently approved by the OMB under
the PRA and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a currently valid OMB control
number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval
for this information collection under
OMB Control Number 1235–0015. The
current OMB approval is scheduled to
expire on January 11, 2011; however, it
should be noted that information
collections submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional information, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register
on June 25, 2010 (75 FR 36444).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1235–
0015. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including

Activities, the approval for which
currently expires May 31, 2011.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request (ICR) can be obtained

DATES: Written comments must be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The ETA 9000 is the only data source
available on: (1) Instances of internal
fraud activities within the
Unemployment Insurance (UI) program;
and (2) the results of safeguards that
have been implemented to deter and
detect instances of internal fraud. It
categorizes the major areas susceptible
to internal (employee) fraud and
provides actual and ‘‘estimated’’
workload. The information is used to
review Internal Security (IS) operations
and obtain information on composite
shifting patterns of nationwide activity
and effectiveness in the area of internal
fraud identification and prevention. It is
also used to assess the overall adequacy
of Internal Security procedures in states’
UI programs.
To streamline UI program reporting in
general, ETA proposes to merge a few
cells from ETA 9000 into ETA 227. The
reason ETA proposes consolidating
these two information collections is that
the underlying data collected is similar
and this revision will reduce state
reporting burden.
The ETA 227 contains data on the
number of occurrences and amounts of
fraud and non-fraud overpayments
established, the methods by which
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
overpayments were detected, the
amounts and methods by which
overpayments were collected, the
amounts of overpayments waived and
written off, the accounts receivable for
overpayments outstanding, and data on
criminal/civil actions.
These data are gathered by 53 State
Workforce Agencies (SWAs) and
reported to the Department of Labor
following the end of each calendar
quarter. The overall effectiveness of
SWAs’ UI integrity efforts can be
determined by examining and analyzing
the data. These data are also used by
SWAs as a management tool for
effective UI program administration.
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

• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond.
