The
Benefits Accuracy Measurement (BAM)
program is one of the tools the DOL uses
to measure and reduce waste, fraud, and
abuse for the Unemployment Insurance
(UI) program. The BAM program
provides reliable estimates of the
accuracy of benefit payments and
denied claims in the UI program, and
identifies the sources of improper
payments and denials so their causes
can be eliminated. The BAM program
consists of two comprehensive reviews:
Paid Claims Accuracy (PCA) and Denied
Claims Accuracy (DCA). States conduct
intensive audits of statewide random
samples of UI payments and denials to
determine their accuracy. The DOL
provides State Workforce Agencies with
software to edit the sampling frame files
and to select the weekly PCA and DCA
samples.
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 Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1205–0245. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
November 30, 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.
For additional information, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on September 6, 2012 (77 FR
54927).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section by December 31, 2012. In order
to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control Number 1205–
0245. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• 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
