preparing the Department’s
consolidated financial statements
required by the Chief Financial Officer
Act of 1990. The UTF is the single
largest asset and liability on the
statements.
• Reconcile the Department’s records
with the U.S. Treasury records.
• Support UI research and actuarial
reports analyzing the solvency of the
UTF.
The Department seeks renewal of this
collection since the reports are essential
to the Department’s financial statements
and program oversight responsibilities.
II. Desired Focus of Comments:
Currently the Employment and Training
Administration is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed extension
collection of these reports. Commenters
are requested to:
• 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 the use of the
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, technological or other
forms of information collection
techniques.
III. Current Actions: The continued
collection of these financial data are
necessary for the purposes of
monitoring and evaluating state
financial transactions for proper
oversight and administration of the UI
system.

change.
