Streszczenie

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 collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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. This notice by the Employment and Training Administration is to solicit comments concerning the proposed extension of the collection of the Unemployment Insurance Benefit Accuracy Measurement program data (OMB control number 1205-0245) now authorized through 9/30/99. A copy of the proposed changes to the information collection Handbook (ETA Handbook 395) can be obtained by contacting the employee listed below in the contact section of this notice.
