SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Program. The DOL uses information collected on Forms ETA 9128, ETA– 9128X, ETA–9129 and ETA 9129X to evaluate State performance in terms of service delivery and to report on the RESEAs, including the number of scheduled in-person reemployment and eligibility assessments, the number of individuals who failed to appear for scheduled assessments (e.g., benefits termination), results of assessments (e.g., referral to employment services, found in compliance with program requirements), estimated savings resulting form cessation of benefits, and estimated savings as a result of accelerated reemployment. This information collection has been classified as a revision, because of the removal of separate reporting for program participants receiving Unemployment Compensation for ExServicemember that was previously conducted under the ETA 9128X and 9129X reports and the varying levels of integration across states’ reporting and case management systems. Social PO 00000 investigation for which a determination has not yet been issued. 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 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. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1205–0456. The current approval is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2019; however, the DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment 
(RESEA) Program. The DOL uses information collected on Forms ETA 9128, 
ETA-9128X, ETA-9129 and ETA 9129X to evaluate State performance in 
terms of service delivery and to report on the RESEAs, including the 
number of scheduled in-person reemployment and eligibility assessments, 
the number of individuals who failed to appear for scheduled 
assessments (e.g., benefits termination), results of assessments (e.g., 
referral to employment services, found in compliance with program 
requirements), estimated savings resulting form cessation of benefits, 
and estimated savings as a result of accelerated reemployment. This 
information collection has been classified as a revision, because of 
the removal of separate reporting for program participants receiving 
Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemember that was previously 
conducted under the ETA 9128X and 9129X reports and the varying levels 
of integration across states' reporting and case management systems. 
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 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. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1205-0456. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on August 31, 2019; however, the DOL notes that existing 
information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a 
month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements 
would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on March 13, 2019 (84 FR 9140).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate

The OMB 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;

burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
