The data submitted annually on the
ETA 204 report enables the Employment
and Training Administration to project
revenues for the Unemployment
Insurance (UI) program on a state-bystate basis and to measure the variations
in assigned contribution rates which
result from different experience rating
systems. Used in conjunction with other
data, the ETA 204 assists in determining
the effects of certain factors (e.g.,
stabilization, expansion, or contraction
in employment, etc.) on the
unemployment experience of various
groups of employers. The data also
provide an early signal for potential
solvency problems and are useful in
analyzing factors which give rise to
these potential problems and permit an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the
various approaches available to correct
the detected problems. The report
collects annual information about the
taxation efforts in states relative to both
taxable and total wages and allows
comparison between states. Further, the
data are key components to the
Significant Tax Measures Report. The
Significant Tax Measures Report
provides the information necessary to
evaluate and compare state UI tax
systems. 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)
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–
0164.
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.
