DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Comment Request for Information Collection for ETA 9165,
Unemployment Insurance Supplemental Budget Request Activities; New
Collection
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance
consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collection
of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps to ensure that
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 on
respondents can be properly assessed.
Currently, the Employment and Training Administration is soliciting
comments concerning the new collection of data on the ETA 9165,
Supplemental Budget Request Activities. The new ETA 9165 will be used
by the National and regional offices to monitor the progress of State
Workforce Agencies in successfully implementing projects funded through
Supplemental Budget Requests. This information will include the funded
project title and purpose, the project timeline and milestones, and a
narrative description of the project implementation status. It will
also include explanations of any delays in implementation, proposals
for addressing any problems that caused the delay and new project
timelines if applicable, a self-reported designation of the
implementation status (i.e. complete/ahead of schedule/on schedule/or
behind schedule), and a discussion of identified technical assistance
needs for the successful completion of the project.
DATES: Submit written comments to the office listed in the addresses
section below on or before June 30, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Brad Wiggins, U.S. Department of
Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Unemployment
Insurance, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Frances Perkins Bldg. Room S-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The new ETA 9165 report will contain information on activities
funded by the Employment and Training Administration through
Unemployment Insurance Supplemental Budget Requests, including the
funded project/activity, the targeted start and completion dates for
the project/activity, and the quarterly implementation status. These
data are needed for budget preparation and control, program planning
and evaluation, personnel assignment, program oversight and assessment,
actuarial and program research, and for accounting to Congress and the
public.
II. Review Focus
The Department is particularly interested in comments which:
* Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary to describe the quarterly status of funded Supplemental
Budget Request activities, 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 the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of
responses.
