ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under the EB program that has occurred since the publication of the last notice regarding the States’ EB status: • Based on the data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on August 20, 2021, the seasonally-adjusted Total Unemployment Rate (TUR) for Connecticut fell below the 8.0 percent threshold necessary to remain ‘‘on’’ a High Unemployment Period in EB. Therefore beginning September 11, 2021, the maximum potential entitlement for claimants on EB in Connecticut will decrease from 20 weeks to 13 weeks. Also, the seasonallyadjusted TUR for Texas fell below the 6.5 percent threshold necessary to remain ‘‘on’’ EB, thus the EB payable period for Texas will end on September 11, 2021. • In addition, language in state laws which conditioned the applicability of the TUR trigger on full Federal funding resulted in ‘‘off’’ indicators for California, Illinois, and Nevada for the week ending August 21, 2021. This will end any payable period associated with the TUR trigger for these states on September 11, 2021. The trigger notice covering state eligibility for the EB program can be found at: https://ows.doleta.gov/ unemploy/claims_arch.as. Information for Claimants The duration of benefits payable in the EB program, and the terms and conditions on which they are payable, are governed by the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970, as amended, and the operating instructions issued to the states by the U.S. Department of Labor. Persons who believe they may be entitled to EB, or who wish to inquire about their rights under the program, should contact their State Workforce Agency.

DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 49569 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 National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) is an employmentbased, annual survey of the demographic, employment, and health characteristics of hired crop workers, including those who employers hire indirectly through labor contractors. The survey began in 1988. Each year the NAWS contractor interviews between 1,500 and 3,500 crop workers. The contractor interviews crop workers three times per year to account for the seasonality of agricultural employment. ETA uses NAWS data to estimate each state’s share of crop workers who are eligible for employment and training services through ETA’s National Farmworker Jobs Program. Other Federal agencies similarly use the survey’s data to estimate the number and characteristics of crop workers and their dependents who qualify to participate in or receive services from various migrant and seasonal farmworker programs. The United States Department of Agriculture periodically uses NAWS data, along with other data, to estimate changes in agricultural productivity. ETA is seeking approval to continue the NAWS, with revisions. This request is to add supplemental questions to the survey to gather retrospective information on employment, health, and safety and health practices among crop workers during the Coronavirus pandemic. This collection is on behalf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, under an inter-agency agreement with ETA. The additional employment information to be collected is: • Whether the respondent missed any days of work in the last 12 months due to illness or fear of being ill. • Where applicable, the number of missed workdays in the last 12 months that were related to COVID–19. • Whether the respondent worked any days in the last 12 months while ill with COVID–19.

Notice of a Change in Status of the Extended Benefit (EB) Program 
for California, Connecticut, Illinois, Nevada, and Texas

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice announces a change in benefit period eligibility under 
the EB program that has occurred since the publication of the last 
notice regarding the States' EB status:
     Based on the data released by the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics on August 20, 2021, the seasonally-adjusted Total 
Unemployment Rate (TUR) for Connecticut fell below the 8.0 percent 
threshold necessary to remain ``on'' a High Unemployment Period in EB. 
Therefore beginning September 11, 2021, the maximum potential 
entitlement for claimants on EB in Connecticut will decrease from 20 
weeks to 13 weeks. Also, the seasonally-adjusted TUR for Texas fell 
below the 6.5 percent threshold necessary to remain ``on'' EB, thus the 
EB payable period for Texas will end on September 11, 2021.
     In addition, language in state laws which conditioned the 
applicability of the TUR trigger on full Federal funding resulted in 
``off'' indicators for California, Illinois, and Nevada for the week 
ending August 21, 2021. This will end any payable period associated 
with the TUR trigger for these states on September 11, 2021.
    The trigger notice covering state eligibility for the EB program 
can be found at: https://ows.doleta.gov/unemploy/claims_arch.as.

Information for Claimants

    The duration of benefits payable in the EB program, and the terms 
and conditions on which they are payable, are governed by the Federal-
State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970, as amended, and 
the operating instructions issued to the states by the U.S. Department 
of Labor.
    Persons who believe they may be entitled to EB, or who wish to 
inquire about their rights under the program, should contact their 
State Workforce Agency.
