The Secretary has intended applicable
sections of Federal law to require States to identify claimants who
are most likely to exhaust their UI benefits and to provide
reemployment services to expedite their return to suitable work.
The ETA 9048 report provides a count of the claimants who were
referred to Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services (WPRS) and a
count of those who completed the services. A second report provides
the subsequent collection of wage records which is a useful
management tool for monitoring the success of the WPRS program in
the state.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
