Abstract:
These data collection instruments comprise the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) management reports. These reports assure that UTF contributions collected are immediately paid over to the Secretary of the Treasury in conformity with Section 303(a)(4) of the SSA and section 3304(a)(3) of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA); and that expenditure of all money withdrawn from the unemployment fund of a state is used exclusively for the payment of benefits, exclusive of refund (SSA, Section 303(a)(5), FUTA section 3304(a)(4)).
Emergency Justfication:
To ensure compliance with Congressional intent, the OIG audit, and OMB guidance, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) seeks OMB approval to solicit states' spend-down plans for grant monies that states may currently be holding so that ETA may provide states with technical assistance.

Short Statement:
In addition to the forms previously approved for this information collection request, to comply with audits and OMB guidance, information is being collected on ARRA modernization funding spend-down plans. The form, ETA 8403A, is a "container" to anticipate future needs as well. This accounts for the added time burden (53 hours) and the added number of responses (106). The previous submission calculated burden at 68 responses per state, when the calculation should have been based on 66 responses per state; hence the (-53) in the "Agency Estimate" column for the first IC.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$12,105
