Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Unemployment Insurance State Quality
Service Plan Planning and Reporting
Guidelines (Reporting Form ETA–
8623A, Employment and Training
Handbook 336, 18th Edition)
information collection. The State
Quality Service Plan (SQSP) represents
an approach to the unemployment
insurance (UI) performance
management and planning process that
allows for an exchange of information
between Federal and State partners to
enhance the ability of the program to
reflect a joint commitment to
performance excellence and clientcentered services. As part of UI
Performs, a comprehensive performance
management system for the UI program,
the SQSP is the principal vehicle that a
State UI program uses to plan, record,
and manage improvement efforts. Social
Security Act section 302 authorizes this
information collection. See 42 U.S.C.
502.
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 that 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 1205–0132.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2014. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information

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 submission of
responses.
