    Comments should be sent to the Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for U.S. Department of Labor/Employment 
and Training Administration (ETA), Office of Management and Budget, 
Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503, 202-395-7316 (this is not a toll free 
number), within 30 days from the date of this publication in the 
Federal Register.
    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.
    Title: Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services Activity and 
Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services Outcomes.
    OMB Number: 1205-0353.
    Frequency: Quarterly.
    Affected Public: State Governments.
    Type of Response: Reporting.
    Number of Respondents: 53.
    Annual Responses: 212.
    Average Response Time: 30 minutes.
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 106 hours.
    Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: 0.
    Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing

    Description: The Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services (WPRS) 
program allows for the targeting of reemployment services to those most 
in need of services. The ETA 9048 and ETA 9049 are the only means of 
tracking the activities in the WPRS program. The ETA 9048 reports on 
the numbers and flows of claimants at the various stages of the WPRS 
system from initial profiling through the completion of specific 
reemployment services. This allows for evaluation and monitoring of the 
program. The ETA 9049 gives a limited, but inexpensive, look at the 
reemployment experience of profiled claimants who were referred to 
services by examining the state's existing wage record files to see in 
which quarter the referred individuals became employed, what wages they 
earned and whether they have changed industries.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
