Short Statement: Samples sizes for nonmonetary and appeals quarterly reviews are determined by total workload for the prior calendar year. When states workloads change, the number of cases they are required to review is subject to change. Therefore, adjustments were made that reclassified some states from large to small, resulting in a decrease in burden. The ETA 9054 Report has been revised to correct a typographical error in Section A. The 3rd time lapse category reads 45-60 (days), but should read 46-60 (days). Many states have modernized, and now accept requests for appeal online. As such, the reporting instructions for the ETA 9054 report have been updated to include appeals filed online. Lastly, the ETA 9057 report instructions make reference to an older edition of ET Handbook No. 382 – the 2nd Edition. The language in the ETA 9057 report instructions has been revised to ensure the SWA is directed to the most recent published edition of ET Handbook No. 382.
