SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration 
regulations, 20 CFR 601, Administrative Procedures, contains collection 
of information requirements at sections 601.2 and 601.3. Section 601.2 
requires states to submit copies of their unemployment compensation 
laws for approval by the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) so that the 
Secretary may determine the status of state laws and plans of 
operation. Section 601.3 requires states to ``submit all relevant state 
materials such as statutes, executive and administrative orders, legal 
opinions, rules, regulations, interpretations, court decisions, etc.'' 
These materials are used by the Secretary to determine whether the 
state law contains provisions required by section 3304(a) of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Grants of funds are made to states for 
the administration of their employment security laws if their 
unemployment compensation laws and their plans of operation for public 
employment offices meet required conditions of Federal laws. The 
information transmitted by Form MA 8-7 is used by the Secretary to make 
findings (as specified in the above cited Federal laws) required for 
certification to the Secretary of the Treasury for payment to states or 
for certification of the state law for purposes of additional tax 
credit. If this information is not available, the Secretary cannot make 
such certifications. To facilitate transmittal of required material, 
the Department prescribes the use of Form MA 8-7, Transmittal for 
Unemployment Insurance Materials. This simple check off form is used by 
the states to identify material being transmitted to the National 
Office and allows the material to be routed to appropriate staff for 
prompt action.

     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
