Agency Information Collection
Activities; Comment Request;
Unemployment Insurance (UI) State
Quality Service Plan (SQSP) Planning
and Reporting Guidelines
ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Labor
(DOL), Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) is soliciting
comments concerning a proposed
extension for the authority to conduct
the information collection request (ICR)
titled, ‘‘Unemployment Insurance (UI)
State Quality Service Plan (SQSP)
Planning and Reporting Guidelines.’’
This comment request is part of
continuing Departmental efforts to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA).
SUMMARY:
Consideration will be given to all
written comments received by August 7,
2017.
ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with
applicable supporting documentation;
including a description of the likely
respondents, proposed frequency of
response, and estimated total burden
may be obtained free by contacting
Delores Ferrell by telephone at 202–
693–3183, TTY 1–877–889–5627 (these
are not toll-free numbers) or by email at

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.
The SQSP represents an approach to
the unemployment insurance
performance management and planning
process that allows for an exchange of
information between the Federal and
state partners to enhance the ability of
the program to reflect the joint
commitment to performance excellence
and client-centered services. As part of
UI Performs, a comprehensive
performance management system
implemented in 1995 for the UI
program, the SQSP is the principal
vehicle that state UI agencies use to
plan, record, and manage program
improvement efforts as they strive for
excellence in service. The SQSP, which
serves as the State Plan for the UI
program, also serves as the grant
document through which states receive
Federal UI administrative funding. The
statutory basis for the SQSP is Title III,
Section 302 of the Social Security Act,
which authorizes the Secretary of Labor
to provide funds to administer the UI
programs, and Sections 303 (a) (8) and
(9) which govern the expenditures of
those funds. The SQSP represents an
approach to tie program performance
with the budget and planning process.
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

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–
0132.
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.

The ETA National and regional offices
use the Quarterly Narrative Progress
Report, Employment and Training
Supplemental Budget Request
Activities, to monitor the progress of
State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) in
implementing supplemental grant
projects. ETA provides supplemental
grants for SWAs to prevent and detect
improper benefit payments, improve
state performance, and address outdated
Information Technology (IT) system
infrastructures. ETA implements these
projects through Unemployment
Insurance (UI) Supplemental Budget
Request (SBR) grants, Reemployment
Services and Eligibility Assessments
(RESEA) grants, and Dislocated Worker
Grants (DWGs) to states for
demonstration and special projects such
as Reemployment and Systems
Integration (RSI). This information
collection includes the funded project/
activity, the targeted start and
completion dates for the project/
activity, and the quarterly
implementation status. These data are
needed for budget preparation and
control; program planning and
evaluation; program monitoring,
oversight, and performance
accountability; actuarial and program
research; and for accounting to Congress
and the public. Title III, Section
303(a)(6) of the Social Security Act
authorizes this information collection.
This information collection is subject
