Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 129 / Tuesday, July 7, 2015 / Notices
ETA 9128 X report for UCX recipients.
These two reports will reflect different
populations and all data elements will
be the same as are currently collected on
the ETA 9128 report. To review the
outcomes of the RESEA program, the
Department is proposing to use the ETA
9129 report and the ETA 9129 X report
for UCX participants. The data elements
in these reports will parallel those of the
treatment group on the current reports.
Data collection for the comparison
group in the ETA 9129 is being
discontinued under this revision and
will not be included in the ETA 9129 X.
All these reports will reflect the new
name for the Reemployment and
Eligibility Assessment (REA) program,
which changed in 2015 to the RESEA
program.
DATES: Submit written comments to the
office listed in the addressee section
below on or before September 8, 2015.

I. Background
Funds will be awarded to
participating states in the RESEA
program year 2015 to continue the REA
program. The RESEA guidelines require
that these funds be used to conduct inperson assessments in the American Job
Centers. The RESEA must include an
orientation session, an unemployment
insurance (UI) eligibility review, the
provision of labor market information,
development of a re-employment plan
and referral to reemployment services
and/or training, as appropriate. The
guidelines require that participation
exclude those claimants who have a
specific return-to-work date.
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
function of the agency, including

whether the information has 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 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.
III. Current Actions
The continued collection of the
information contained on the ETA 9128
and the ETA 9129 reports is necessary
to enable the Office of Unemployment
Insurance (OUI) to continue evaluating
the effectiveness of the REA program
through workload and outcomes reports.
