SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services Activities and Worker Profiling and Reemployment Outcomes information collection. Reporting Forms ETA–9048 and ETA–9049 are used to identify those claimants who are most likely to exhaust their Unemployment Insurance benefits and to provide reemployment services to expedite those beneficiaries return to suitable work. The ETA–9048 report provides a count of the claimants who were referred to Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services (WPRS) and a count of those who completed the services. The ETA–9049 report provides the subsequent collection of wage records, which is a useful management tool for monitoring the success of the WPRS program in the State. This ICR also covers preliminary activities when States collect information from program beneficiaries. Social Security Act sections303 (a)(6) and (j) authorize this information collection. See 42 U.S.C. 503(a)(6) and (j). This information collection is subject to the PRA.
