ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Department of Labor (Department), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the 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 [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps 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. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48171 ETA is soliciting comments concerning the continuation of the collection of data for state administration of applications and grants for SEA beyond the current expiration date of 11/30/2012.

Background On February 22, 2012, the President signed into law the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act (MCTRJC) of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–96). In recognition of the importance of supporting entrepreneurship, Subtitle E of Public Law 112–96 (hereinafter referred to as Subtitle E) amended the Federal Unemployment Compensation (UC) Act to extend the SEA program to the longterm unemployed who are receiving benefits under the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) and Extended Benefits (EB) programs. This is a further expansion of the SEA program, which began in 1993. Prior to the enactment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation Act (Pub. L. 103–182) in 1993, withdrawals for the purpose of paying self-employment allowances would have been prohibited as the ‘‘withdrawal standard’’ of Section 3304(a)(4) of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) and Section 303(a)(5), Social Security Act (SSA), limits withdrawals (with specified exceptions not relevant here) from a state’s unemployment fund to payments of ‘‘compensation.’’ The term ‘‘compensation’’ is defined in Section 3306(h), FUTA, as ‘‘cash benefits payable to individuals with respect to their unemployment.’’ Because payment must be made with respect to ‘‘unemployment,’’ the withdrawal standard prohibits states from using unemployment funds to help E:\FR\FM\13AUN1.SGM 13AUN1
