SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Title XII Section 1201 of the Social
Security Act (SSA) provides for
advances to states from the Federal
Unemployment Account (FUA). The
law further sets out specific
requirements to be met by a state
requesting an advance:
• The Governor, or designee, must
apply for the advance;
• the application must cover a threemonth period and the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) must be furnished with
estimates of the amounts needed in each
month of the three month period;
• the application must be made on
such forms and shall contain such
information and data (fiscal and
otherwise) concerning the operation and
administration of the state
unemployment compensation law as the
Secretary deems necessary or relevant to
the performance of his or her duties
under this title;
• the amount required by any state for
the payment of compensation in any
month shall be determined with due
allowance for contingencies and taking
into account all other amounts that will
be available in the state’s
unemployment fund for the payment of
compensation in such month; and
• the term ‘‘compensation’’ means
cash benefits payable to individuals
with respect to their unemployment
exclusive of expenses of administration.
Section 1202(a) of the SSA provides
that the Governor of any state may at
any time request that funds be
transferred from the account of such
state to the FUA in repayment of part or
all of the balance of advances made to
such state under Section 1201. These

Jkt 247001
applications and repayments may be
requested by an individual designated
for that authority in writing by the
Governor. The SSA, Sections 1201 and
1202(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 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.
DOL currently estimates that one state
will borrow during Fiscal Year 2018,
and that state would continue to borrow
during calendar year 2018 and beyond.
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–
0199.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. DOL encourages commenters
not to include personally identifiable
information, confidential business data,
or other sensitive statements/
information in any comments.
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 collection of actual
Unemployment Insurance (UI)
administrative cost data from states’
accounting records and projected
expenditures for upcoming years is
accomplished through the RJM data
collection instrument. The data
collected consists of program
expenditures and hours worked by state
staff, broken out by functional activity,
for the most recently completed Federal
fiscal year. This actual cost data, in
combination with projected workloads,
is used by ETA’s UI administrative
resource allocation model to distribute
to states UI program administration
funds. This ICR reflects an updated
Personal Services/Personnel Benefit—
Information Technology worksheet that
no longer requires user input, which
reduces the ICR estimated burden hours
from 5,804 hours to 5,406 hours.
This information collection is
authorized by Section 303(a)(6) of the
Social Security Act and is subject to the
PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot
