    The Department of Labor (DOL) hereby announces the submission the

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 
35). A copy of each ICR, with applicable supporting documentation; 
including among other things a description of the likely respondents, 
proposed frequency of response, and estimated total burden may be 
obtained from the RegInfo.gov Web site at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain
 or by contacting Darrin King on 202-693-4129 (this is not a toll-free number)/e-mail: king.darrin@dol.gov.

    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: Katherine Astrich, OMB Desk 
Officer for the Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503, Telephone: 
202-395-7316/Fax: 202-395-6974 (these are not toll-free numbers), e-
mail: OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov within 30 days from the date of this 
publication in the Federal Register. In order to ensure the appropriate 
consideration, comments should reference the OMB Control Number (see 
below).
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
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 through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
    Agency: Employment and Training Administration.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.

of the normal program operations. The ETA 207 report contains state 
data on the number and types of issues that arise and on the denials of 
benefits that may result.
    These data are used by the Office of Workforce Security (OWS) to 
determine workload counts, to enable the OWS to evaluate the adequacy 
and effectiveness of adjudication determination procedures, and to 
evaluate the impact of state and Federal legislation with respect to 
disqualifications. The data are also used for general statistical 
purposes. No similar data are available from other sources.
