Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: DOL requests minor changes to the evaluation’s data collection instruments to ensure the study is capturing how the COVID-19 pandemic might be affecting states’ RESEA programs and the context in which their state’s UI system and programs are operating. Additionally, DOL’s study plans to field the survey three times, instead of just once, which will enable the evaluation to capture states’ plans before COVID-19 as well as at two points since the pandemic became more widespread. These requested changes result in extremely minimal changes to the burden estimates, however, based on the actual average burden per response observed during the survey’s first fielding in February 2020 (40-45 minutes), which is much less than the initially approved burden estimate (2 hours).

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $194,548
