SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I.
Background: Funds will be awarded to
participating states in REA program year
2012 to continue the Reemployment and
Eligibility Assessment (REA) initiative.
The REA guidelines require that these
funds be used to conduct in-person
assessments in the One-Stop Career
Centers. The REA must include an
unemployment insurance (UI) eligibility
review, the provision of labor market
information, development of a reemployment plan and referral to
reemployment services and/or training,
as appropriate. The guidelines require
that participation exclude those
claimants who have a specific return-towork date.
II. Desired Focus of Comments:
Currently, the Employment and
Training Administration is soliciting
comments on extending the collection
of the ETA 9128, Reemployment and
Eligibility Assessments Workloads
Report and the ETA 9129,
Reemployment and Eligibility
Assessments Outcomes Report.
Comments are requested to:
* Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary to
assess performance of the REA
initiative, including whether the
information has 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
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses.
III. Current Actions: The continued
collection of the information contained
on the ETA 9128 and the ETA 9129
reports is necessary to enable the Office
of Unemployment Insurance (OUI) to
continue evaluating the effectiveness of
this initiative through workload and
outcomes reports.
Type of Review: Extension without
change.
Agency: Employment and Training
Administration (ETA).

Extension Without Change

Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with 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.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request (ICR) can be obtained

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The data submitted
annually on the ETA–204 report enables
the Employment and Training
Administration to project revenues for
the Unemployment Insurance (UI)
program on a state-by-state basis and to
measure the variations in assigned
contribution rates which result from
different experience rating systems.
Used in conjunction with other data, the
ETA–204 assists in determining the
effects of certain factors (e.g.,
seasonality, stabilization, expansion, or
contraction in employment, etc.) on the
unemployment experience of various
groups of employers. The data also
provide an early signal for potential
solvency problems and are useful in
analyzing factors which give rise to
these potential problems and permit an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the
various approaches available to correct
the detected problems. The report
collects annual information about the
taxing efforts in states relative to both
taxable and total wages and allows
comparison between states. Further, the
data are key components to the
Significant Tax Measures Report. The
Significant Tax Measures Report
provides the information necessary to
evaluate and compare state UI tax
systems.
II. Desired Focus of Comments:
Currently, the Employment and
Training Administration is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension of the ETA–204, Experience
Rating Report 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

The
provisions of the Servicing Multi-Piece
and Single Piece Rim Wheels Standard
include a requirement that the
manufacturer or a Registered
Professional Engineer certify that
repaired restraining devices and barriers
meet the strength requirements
specified in the Standard, and a
requirement that defective wheels and
wheel components be marked or tagged.
The purpose of the requirement is to
reduce workers’ risk of death or serious
injury by ensuring that restraining
devices used by them during the
servicing of multi-piece rim wheels are
in safe operating condition.
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
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 valid OMB Control Number.
