SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
I. Background
The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job
Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–96)
provides states with the opportunity to
pilot new and innovative strategies to
better help connect unemployed
Americans with work. Section 2102 of
the Extended Benefits, Reemployment,
and Program Integrity Improvement Act
(Act) enacts a new Section 305 of the
Social Security Act (SSA) which allows
the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to
enter into agreements with up to 10
states that submit applications for
approval to conduct demonstration
projects to test and evaluate measures to
expedite reemployment of certain
individuals found eligible for
unemployment compensation (UC), or
to improve the effectiveness of a state in
carrying out its state law with respect to
reemployment.
Section 305(a)(1), SSA, as enacted,
establishes two purposes for which the
Secretary may grant approval for states
to conduct demonstration projects: (1)
To test and evaluate measures designed
to expedite the reemployment of
individuals who establish a benefit year
and are otherwise eligible to receive UC
‘‘under the state law of such state [the
state submitting the application]’’; or (2)
to improve the effectiveness of a state in
carrying out its state law with respect to
reemployment.

ETA will provide states with guidance
explaining the provisions of the new
law, and laying out the application
procedure that states must follow in
order to be considered for this program.
This PRA package consists of several
elements:
• The guidance explaining the
provisions of the new law, and the
application process
• An application checklist to ensure the
submission package is complete
• A draft agreement that will serve as
the template for each individual state
agreement
• Draft reporting requirements
• Data elements that states must be able
to produce for evaluation
In addition to Public Law 112–96,
collection of data necessary for
oversight of the program is authorized
under Section 303(a)(6) of the Social
Security Act. In order for states to
prepare their summary reports and to be
in compliance with these new
requirements of the law, ETA believes
states will need to collect this
information from employers.
II. Review Focus
The Department 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.
