SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background: Federal agencies are required to promote procurement opportunities for small, small disadvantaged, and 8(a) businesses by the Small Business Act, as amended, (Pub. L. 95–507, sections 8 and 15) and Public Law 100–656 (sections 502 and 503). The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103– 355) mandates similar efforts for small women-owned businesses. Public Law 106–50 created the program for servicedisabled veteran-owned small businesses. Public Law 105–135 established the HubZone program. The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121) requires Federal agencies to make available to small businesses compliance guides and assistance on the implementation of regulations and directives of enforcement laws they administer. Further, Executive Order 13170 requires that Departments take a number of actions to increase outreach and maximize participation of small disadvantaged businesses in their procurements. Executive Order 13157 strengthens the executive branch’s commitment to increased opportunities for women-owned small businesses. Accordingly, the Vendor Outreach Session Information Management System is needed to gather, document, and manage identifying information for DOL constituency groups such as small businesses and trade associations. Via this system, the constituent groups have the opportunity voluntarily to provide information about their organizations to the DOL. The information is used by DOL agencies to maximize communication with the respective constituency groups regarding relevant DOL programs, initiatives, and procurement opportunities; to track and solicit feedback on customer service to group members; and to facilitate SUMMARY: DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Jkt 223001 PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12757 registration of group members for certain DOL-sponsored activities. As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, the DOL conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. II. Comment Solicitation: The DOL is soliciting comments concerning the information collections contained in the Vendor Outreach Session Information Management System. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval of the information collection request; they also will become a matter of public record. III. Review Focus: The DOL 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ADDRESSES: I. Background The ETA–9016 Report is used by the Department of Labor to assess whether (and the extent to which) the requirements of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlement (SAVE) system are costeffective and otherwise appropriate for the Unemployment Insurance (UI) program. In addition, data from the Alien Claims Activity report is being used to assist the Secretary of Labor in determining whether a State Workforce Agency’s (SWA) administrative costs associated with the verification program are reasonable and reimbursable. There is no other report or system available for collecting this required information. The report allows the Department of Labor to determine the number of aliens filing for UI, the number of benefit issues detected, the denials of benefits to aliens, the extent to which State Agencies use the system, and the overall effectiveness and cost efficiency of the verification system. If SWAs are not required to submit the information on the Alien Claims Activity Report, the Department of Labor would not be able to fulfill its responsibilities to assess the SAVE system. II. Desired Focus of Comments Currently, ETA is soliciting comments concerning the proposed extension of the collection for the ETA 9016 Report on Alien Claims Activity, and is particularly interested in comments which: * 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 electronic collection techniques. III. Current Actions Continued collection of the ETA–9016 data will provide for a comprehensive evaluation of the UI Alien Claims Activities. The data are collected quarterly, and an analysis of the data received is formulated into a report summarizing the Alien Claims Activity by the 53 SWAs.
