Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 138 / Wednesday, July 18, 2018 / Notices
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 Office of
Management and Budget (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 Noncitizen Benefit Clarification
and Other Technical Amendments Act
of 1998 (Pub. L. 105–306) permanently
authorized the SEA program, which is a
reemployment program that helps
Unemployment Insurance (UI)
claimants start their own businesses.
Public Law 112–96, the Middle Class
Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012
(the 2012 Act), expanded the SEA
program to provide states the
opportunity to allow UI claimants
receiving Extended Benefits to
participate in the SEA program.
Currently, five states use this
reemployment program.
In accordance with statutory
requirements, and to assist states in
establishing, improving, and
administering SEA programs (section
2183(a) of the 2012 Act), the ETA uses
the ETA–9161 to collect information
specific to the SEA program. Section
2183(b)(1) of the 2012 Act directs the
Secretary of Labor to establish reporting
requirements for States that have
established SEA programs, which shall
include reporting on:
(A) The total number of individuals
who received unemployment
compensation and (i) were referred to a
SEA program; (ii) participated in such
program; and (iii) received an allowance
under such program;
(B) the total amount of allowances
provided to individuals participating in
a SEA program;
(C) the total income (as determined by
survey or other appropriate method) for
businesses that have been established by
individuals participating in a SEA
program, as well as the total number of
individuals employed through such
businesses; and
(D) any additional information, as
determined appropriate by the
Secretary.
ETA currently uses Form ETA–9161
as an electronic reporting mechanism to
collect this required information. In
addition to Public Law 112–96,
collection of data is used for oversight

of the program as authorized under
Section 303(a)(6) of the Social Security
Act. Also, the Code of Federal
Regulations authorizes this information
collection. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6.
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–
0490.
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.
