Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
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.
Building on lessons learned from
previous state implementations of
modernized Unemployment Insurance
(UI) Information Technology (IT)
systems, ETA facilitated the
development of a UI IT Modernization
Pre-Implementation Planning Checklist
for states to use prior to ‘‘going live’’
with a new system. In 2017, ETA
implemented the Pre-Implementation
Planning Checklist for State UI IT
Modernization Projects, ETA 9177
report. Subsequently, ETA received
comments from State Workforce
Agencies (SWAs) and other entities
recommending additional items to be
included in the checklist and seeking
clarification on the instructions for
using the report. In addition, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics recommended an
eleventh project category to address
labor market information (LMI) Federal
reporting functions. ETA has enhanced
the ETA 9177 report and the
accompanying instructions to address
these comments. This enhanced version
of the ETA 9177 report improves the

document’s structure, provides
additional clarity on the verification
steps for the ten existing project
categories, and adds a new category to
address verification steps for LMI
Federal reporting functions. Like the
original 2017 implementation, the
updated checklist will validate that all
necessary system functions are available
and/or that alternative workarounds are
developed prior to the production
launch of a new UI IT system to help
states avoid major disruption of services
to UI customers and to prevent delays
in making UI benefit payments when
due.
This comprehensive checklist denotes
critical functional areas that states must
verify prior to launching new UI IT
systems including, but not limited to,
technical IT functions and UI business
processes that interface with the new
system.
The list of critical areas identified in
the checklist includes:
• Functionality and Workarounds;
• External Alternate Access Options
and Usability Issues Addressed;
• Policies and Procedures;
• Technical Preparation for System
Implementation;
• Call Center/Customer Service
Operations;
• Business Process;
• Help Desk;
• Management Oversight;
• Vendor Support/Communications;
• Communication Processes and
Procedures; and
• Labor Market Information Federal
Reporting Functions.
This information will include the UI
IT Modernization project title (e.g. State
project or Consortium name) and the
associated report on Pre-Implementation
Planning Checklist results. For each
sub-element identified in the ETA 9177
report, the SWA is to provide:
• An overall status report;
• A brief report explaining the status
of the project as it relates to the
particular sub-element;
• Attached explanations of any
workarounds concerning the processes
in the sub-element;
• Attached explanations if
implementation of the new system
concerning specific processes for the
sub-element will be delayed or deferred;
• Attached explanations for added
clarity and/or to support a narrative;
• Mitigation proposals for addressing
any problems;
• New project timelines if applicable;
and/or
• Any discussion of identified
technical assistance needs for the
successful completion of the project.
ETA requires the use of this checklist
report to help SWAs ensure the
