SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3517 of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1980 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3517) requires that the Director of OMB 
provide interested persons an early opportunity to comment on 
information collection requests. OMB may amend or waive the requirement 
for public consultation to the extent that public participation in the 
approval process would defeat the purpose of the information 
collection, violate State or Federal law, or substantially interfere 
with the agency's ability to perform its statutory obligations.
    The Director, Office of Information Resources Management Policy, 
publishes this notice simultaneously with the submission of this 
request to OMB. This notice contains the following information:
    Type of Review: Expedited.
    Title: National Survey of Unemployment Insurance.
    Frequency of Response: One-time.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 1,200.

    Description: In November 1991, the Congress of the United States 
passed the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act. In accordance with 
the Act, Congress created the Advisory Council on Unemployment 
Compensation (ACUC). The ACUC's primary responsibility is to evaluate 
the unemployment compensation program, including the purpose, goals, 
countercyclical effectiveness, coverage, benefit adequacy, trust fund 
solvency, funding of State administrative costs, administrative 
efficiency, and any other aspects of the program, and to make 
recommendations for improvement.
    In carrying out its mandate to evaluate and analyze the 
unemployment insurance system the ACUC has determined that it is very 
important to assess public opinion and public knowledge regarding the 
performance, fairness, coverage, adequacy, and satisfaction of the 
unemployment system currently in place. A telephone survey of a random 
sample of adults 18 years and older will be conducted.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 1st day of May 1995.
Theresa M. O'Malley,
Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
