Employment and Training
Administration
I. Background
Since 1987, states have been required
by regulation at 20 CFR part 602 to
operate a program to assess their
Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax and
benefit programs. TPS is designed to
assess the major internal UI tax
functions by utilizing several
methodologies: Computed Measures,
which are indicators of timeliness and
completeness based on data
automatically generated via the existing
ETA 581, Contribution Operations
Report (Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval number 1205–
0178, expiring 02/28/2015, and
currently under review for extension at
OMB); and Program Reviews, which
assess accuracy through a two-fold
examination. This examination
involves: (a) ‘‘Systems Reviews’’ which
examine tax systems for the existence of
internal controls; and (b) extraction of
small samples of those systems’
transactions which are then examined to
verify the effectiveness of controls.
Type of Review: Extension without
change.
Title: Tax Performance System.
OMB Number: 1205–0332.
Affected Public: State Workforce
Agencies.
Estimated Total Annual Respondents:
52.
Estimated Total Annual Responses::
1739 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 90,428.
Total Estimated Annual Other Cost
Burden: $4,543,637.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of the ICR; they will also
become a matter of public record.
