Abstract:
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 information on the basic quarterly activities of the WPRS program, reemployment activities for UI claimants who are likely to exhaust their benefits. The report tracks WPRS claimants from the time they are profiled through the delivery of services. The ETA 9049 report provides information about reemployment outcomes for participants in the WPRS program.

Short Statement:
There are no program changes to be made at this time. Estimates have been updated based on recent data and trends from calendar year 2015 showing state providing services through the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program. Some states are transitioning from the WPRS program services to RESEA services. Note: This ICR reconciles a previous inadvertent inconsistency in how the supporting statement and ROCIS entries treated burden for Forms ETA-9048 and ETA-9049. Previously the data entry suggested one single 30-minute response per state. This ICR counts two 15-minute responses, one for each form, per state. Also, the burden changes were corrected and moved from the discretionary column to the estimate column.
