Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
The Social
Security Act authorizes the DOL to
prescribe standard definitions, methods
and procedures, and reporting
requirements for the collection of
information on benefit payment
accuracy and the reemployment of
unemployment insurance benefit
recipients to ensure the verification of
these data. The DOL uses information
collected on Forms ETA–9128, 9128U,
and ETA–9129 to evaluate State
performance in terms of service delivery
and to report on the REAs, including the
number of scheduled in-person
reemployment and eligibility
assessments, the number of individuals
who failed to appear for scheduled
assessments, actions taken as a result of
individuals not appearing for an
assessment (e.g., benefits termination),
results of assessments (e.g., referral to
reemployment services, found in
compliance with program
requirements), estimated savings
resulting from cessation of benefits, and
estimated savings as a result of
accelerated reemployment. Information
collected on Form ETA–9128U is
required by the Middle Class Tax Relief
and Job Creation Act of 2012, Public
Law 112–96.
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 it does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1205–0456. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2012; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training
Administration
Announcement Regarding States
Triggering ‘‘On’’ and ‘‘Off’’ in the
Emergency Unemployment
Compensation 2008 (EUC08) Program
Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Announcement Regarding
States Triggering ‘‘on’’ and ‘‘off’’ in the
Emergency Unemployment
Compensation 2008 (EUC08) Program.
The U.S. Department of Labor
(Department) produces trigger notices
indicating which states qualify for
EUC08 benefits, and provides the
beginning and ending dates of payable
periods for each qualifying state. The
trigger notices covering state eligibility
for this program can be found at:
https://ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/
claims_arch.asp.
The following changes have occurred
since the publication of the last notice
regarding states’ EUC08 trigger status:
• With the week ending September
22, 2012, Utah had served a full 13 week
‘‘off’’ period in Tier 2 of the EUC08
program. Given that the trigger rate for
Utah has been at the 6.0 percent trigger
rate threshold, this state met the criteria
to resume a payable period in Tier 2 of
the EUC08 program. This payable
period started with the week beginning
September 23, 2012. For claimants
establishing new eligibility in Tier 2, the
SUMMARY:

Sfmt 4703
maximum potential entitlement in Tier
2 is the lesser of 54 percent of the
maximum regular Unemployment
Compensation (UC) entitlement or 14
times the regular UC weekly benefit
amount.
• With the week ending September
22, 2012, West Virginia and Wisconsin
had both served a full 13 week ‘‘off’’
period in Tier 3 of the EUC08 program.
Given that the trigger rate for these
states had been at or above the 7.0
percent trigger rate threshold, these
states met the criteria to resume a
payable period in Tier 3 of the EUC08
program. The payable period for these
states started with the week beginning
September 23, 2012. For claimants
establishing new eligibility in Tier 3, the
maximum potential entitlement in Tier
3 is the lesser of 35 percent of the
maximum regular UC entitlement or 9
times the regular UC weekly benefit
amount.
• With the release of national
unemployment data by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics on September 21, 2012,
the estimated three month average,
seasonally adjusted total unemployment
rate for Maryland met the 7.0 percent
threshold necessary to trigger ‘‘on’’ in
Tier 3 of the EUC08 program. For
claimants establishing new eligibility in
Tier 3, the maximum potential
entitlement is the lesser of 35 percent of
the maximum regular UC entitlement or
9 times the regular UC weekly benefit
amount. The week beginning October 7,
2012, will be the first week in which
EUC08 claimants in Maryland who have
exhausted Tier 2, and are otherwise
eligible, can establish Tier 3 eligibility.
• With the release of national
unemployment data by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics on September 21, 2012,
the estimated three month average,
seasonally adjusted total unemployment
rate for Michigan met the 9.0 percent
threshold necessary to trigger ‘‘on’’ in
Tier 4 of the EUC08 program. For
claimants establishing new eligibility in
Tier 4, the maximum potential
entitlement in Tier 4 is the lesser of 24
percent of the maximum regular UC
entitlement or 6 times the regular UC
weekly benefit amount. The week
beginning October 7, 2012, will be the
first week in which EUC08 claimants in
Michigan who have exhausted Tier 3,
and are otherwise eligible, can establish
Tier 4 eligibility.
• With the week ending October 6,
2012, Texas will have served a full 13
week ‘‘off’’ period in Tier 3 of the
EUC08 program. Given that the trigger
rate for Texas is currently at or above
the 7.0 percent trigger rate threshold,
and no more unemployment rates will
be released before October 19, 2012,
