    Description: The Secretary of Labor has legal responsibility under 
the Social Security Act (SSA) Title III, Section 303(a)(1) for 
providing state agencies the necessary cost of proper and efficient 
administration of state unemployment insurance (UI) laws. Accordingly, 
the Secretary must establish a means of measuring state agencies' 
``proper and efficient administration'' of UI programs. The RJM would 
replace the current methodologies for budget formulation and grant 
allocation to the states for UI programs.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
