    Description: On April 16, 2003, President Bush signed into law an 
enhancement to the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation (TEUC) 
program. This enhancement created special rules for determining TEUC 
eligibility for certain displaced airline related workers. Such workers 
may qualify for an additional 26 weeks of basic TEUC benefits if the 
worker became unemployed as a result of terrorist actions of September 
11, 2001 as a result of security responses to these attacks or the 
closing of an airport, or as a result of the military conflict in Iraq. 
To determine TEUC eligibility for these displaced airline and related 
workers specific information from employers will need to be collected. 
Approval is being sought for this collection of information.

Ira L. Mills,
Departmental Clearance Officer.
