mail: [email protected] within 30 days from the date of this 
publication in the Federal Register. In order to ensure the appropriate 
consideration, comments should reference the OMB Control Number (see 
below).
    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: Benefit Appeals Report.
    OMB Number: 1205-0172.
    Form Number: ETA-5130.
    Affected Public: State Governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 53.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 648.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs Burden: $0.
    Description: The ETA-5130, Benefit Appeals Report, contains 
information on the number of unemployment insurance appeals and the 
resultant decisions classified by program, appeals level, cases filed 
and disposed of (workflow), and decisions by level, appellant, and 
issue. The data on this report are used by the Department of Labor to 
monitor the benefit appeals process in the State Workforce Agencies and 
to develop any needed plans for remedial action. The data are also 
needed for workload forecasts and to determine administrative funding. 
If this information were not available, developing problems might not 
be discovered early enough to allow for timely solutions and avoidance 
of time consuming and costly corrective action.
    Agency: Employment and Training Administration.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Title: Attestations by Employers Using Alien Crewmembers for 
Longshore Activities in U.S. Ports.
    OMB Number: 1205-0309.
    Form Number: ETA-9033.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs Burden: $0.
    Description: The information collected on the Form ETA-9033 is 
required by section 258 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 
U.S.C. 1288). The INA has a prevailing practice exception to the 
general prohibition on the performance of longshore work by alien 
crewmembers in U.S. ports. Under the prevailing practice exception, 
before any employer may use alien crewmembers to perform longshore 
activities in U.S. ports, it must submit an attestation to the 
Secretary of Labor containing the elements prescribed by the INA. The 
INA further requires that the Secretary of Labor make available for 
public examination in Washington, DC a list of employers that have 
filed attestations and, for each of these employers, a copy of the 
employer's attestation and accompanying documentation received by the 
Secretary.
