DATES:
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
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.
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act sections 410
and 423 provide for assistance to
eligible individuals who are
unemployed due to a major disaster.
State Workforce Agencies through
individual agreements with the
Secretary of Labor, act as agents of the
Federal government in providing
Disaster Unemployment Assistance
(DUA) to eligible applicants who are
unemployed as a result of a major
disaster. The ETA 902 Report, Disaster
Unemployment Assistance Activities, is
a monthly report submitted by an
impacted state when a major disaster is
declared by the President that provides
for individual assistance (including
DUA). The report contains data on DUA
claims and payment activities
associated with administering the DUA
program. The information is used by
ETA’s Office of Unemployment
Insurance (OUI) to determine workload
counts, for example, the number of
individuals determined eligible or
ineligible for DUA, the number of
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Sfmt 4703
appeals filed, and the number of
overpayments issued. The report also
allows OUI to track states’
administrative costs for the DUA
program.
Social Security Act section 303(a)(6)
authorizes this information collection.
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–
0051.
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.

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.

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
sections 410 and 423 provide for assistance to eligible individuals who
are unemployed due to a major disaster. State Workforce Agencies
through individual agreements with the Secretary of Labor, act as
agents of the Federal government in providing Disaster Unemployment
Assistance (DUA) to eligible applicants who are unemployed as a result
of a major disaster. The ETA 902 Report, Disaster Unemployment
Assistance Activities, is a monthly report submitted by an impacted
state when a major disaster is declared by the President that provides
for individual assistance (including DUA). The report contains data on
DUA claims and payment activities associated with administering the DUA
program. The information is used by ETA's Office of Unemployment
Insurance (OUI) to determine workload counts, for example, the number
of individuals determined eligible or ineligible for DUA, the number of
appeals filed, and the number of overpayments issued. The report also
allows OUI to track states' administrative costs for the DUA program.
Social Security Act section 303(a)(6) authorizes this information
collection.
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
