SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the OMB for
final approval. This program helps to
ensure requested data can be provided
in the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
Section 432 of the Personal
Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA)
(also referred to as the Welfare Reform
Act of 1996) (Pub. L. 104–193), requires
that aliens applying for certain
entitlement programs, including
unemployment insurance, have their
immigration status verified by the U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Service
(USCIS). If an unemployment insurance
applicant is not a United States citizen
or national, he/she must provide the
state agency with documentation from
the USCIS that contains his/her Alien
Registration Number (commonly called
the A-number) or other documents that
provide reasonable evidence of current
immigration status. This documentation
must be verified by the USCIS through
the system known as the Systematic
Alien Verification for Entitlement. To
comply with its responsibilities under
the Social Security Administration
(SSA), the Department of Labor
(Department) must gather information
from state agencies concerning alien
claimant activities. The Alien Claims
Activity Report (ACAR) is the only
source available for collecting this
information. The following explains the
Department’s responsibilities under the
SSA and the necessity for approval of
the attached ACAR.
The ETA 9016 report allows the
Department to determine the number of
aliens filing for unemployment
insurance (UI), the number of benefit
issues detected, and the denials
resulting from the USCIS SAVE system.
From these data, the Department can
determine the extent to which state
agencies use the system, and the overall
effectiveness and cost efficiency of the
USCIS SAVE verification system.

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.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB control number 1205–
0268.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the Internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
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.

I. Background

consultation program to provide the
general public and Federal agencies an

and/or continuing collections of

Section 116 of WIOA requires States
that operate core programs of the
publicly-funded workforce system to
comply with common performance
accountability requirements. As such,
States that operate core programs must
submit common performance data to
demonstrate that specified performance
levels are achieved.
The data collections in this ICR fulfill
requirements in WIOA Sec. 116(d)(1)
which mandates that the Secretaries of
Labor and Education develop a template
for the annual performance reports to be
used by States, local boards, and of
training services for reporting on
outcomes achieved by the WIOA
programs. Pursuant to WIOA sec.
116(d)(2), required annual data for the
core programs include, among others,
those related to primary performance
indicators, participant counts and costs,
and barriers to employment. The
Department proposes to amend the
information collection by making
changes to the Participant Individual
Record Layout (ETA–9172), (Program)
Performance Report (ETA–9173) and the
Pay-for-Performance Report (ETA–9174)
to facilitate State quarterly performance
reporting.
This notice includes several
documents—the ETA (Program)
Performance Report, the WIOA Pay-forPerformance Report, the Participant
Individual Record Layout (PIRL), and
the WIOA Data Element Specifications.
The Department requires states to certify
and submit the ETA (Program)
Performance Report to ETA on a
quarterly basis and the Pay-forPerformance report(s) will be collected
annually. ETA will aggregate the
information the States submit through
the PIRL to populate the ETA (Program)
Performance Report, which ETA will
then send to the States to confirm their
accuracy. Each program included in this
ICR will generate its own quarterly
Performance Report.
The ETA (Program) Performance
Report and WIOA Pay-for-Performance
Report have been designed to maximize
the value of the reports for workers,
jobseekers, employers, local elected
officials, State officials, Federal
policymakers, and other key
stakeholders. The PIRL has been
designed to reflect the specific
requirements of the annual reports as
described in WIOA section 116(d)(2)
through (4).
ETA will use the data to track total
participants, characteristics, services,
training strategies and outcomes for
employed, unemployed and long-term
unemployed participants. This data
collection format permits program
offices to evaluate program
