See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1205– 0245.

The UI DV Program requires a State to operate a system for ascertaining the validity (i.e., adherence to Federal reporting requirements) of specified UI data submitted to the ETA on certain monthly or quarterly reports. Some of these data are used to assess performance, including for the Government Performance and Results Act, or to determine States grants for administration of the UI Program. This information collection is a revision, because updates were made to incorporate guidance from UI Program Letter 22–05 into the Benefits and Tax Handbooks. Social Security Act section 303(a)(6) authorizes this information collection. See 42 U.S.C. 503 (a)(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 the OMB, under the PRA, approves it 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. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1205– 0431.

New requirements would only take effect upon OMB approval.
