    Description: On March 9, 2002, President Bush signed into law the 
Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation (TEUC) program. This 
program provides up to 26 weeks of additional unemployment benefits to 
eligible claimants who have exhausted their regular entitlement. This 
is a temporary, federally funded program enacted through December 31, 
2002. To properly administer and monitor this program, specific 
information is required from states. The information requested through 
these reports are necessary for proper administer of the program and 
interpretation of labor market conditions. Approval is not being sought 
for any new forms, but rather, approval is being sought for an 
additional use of existing forms. There are no state costs since the 
states are funded for reporting.

Darrin A. King,
Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
