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.

    Description: The Form ETA 741, the Occupational Code Assignment 
(OCA), is provided as a public service for the states as well as for 
others who use occupational information. The OCA process is designed to 
help users relate an occupational specialty or a job title or to an 
occupational code within the framework of the O*NET-SOC (Occupational 
Information Network-Standard Occupational Classification) system. For 
additional information, see related notice published in the Federal 
Register on November 11, 2009 (74 Fed. Reg. 62602).

    Description: The Secretary has interpreted applicable sections of 
Federal law to require States to identify claimants who are most likely 
to exhaust their Unemployment Insurance benefits and to provide 
reemployment services to expedite their return to suitable work. The 
ETA 9048 report provides a count of the claimants who were referred to 
Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services (WPRS) and a count of those 
who completed the services. A second report (ETA 9049) provides the 
subsequent collection of wage records which is a useful management tool 
for monitoring the success of the WPRS program in the State. For 
additional information, see related notice published in the Federal 
Register on December 16, 2009 (74 FR 66679).
