publication in the Federal Register. In order to ensure the appropriate

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.

collection.

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.

Description: The information collected on the Form ETA-9033 is
required by section 258 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8

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.
