Abstract: This regulation will formally establish a comprehensive 
system for helping ensure continuous improvement in UI operational 
performance. It will enunciate as the
system's building blocks principles for Federal and State cooperation, 
key nationwide performance measures, criteria distinguishing 
satisfactory from unsatisfactory performance, an annual planning 
process, and actions which the Department may take when a State fails 
to perform satisfactorily.
The UI PERFORMS Regulation is consistent with the Administration's and 
the Secretary's emphasis on improved grants management. It is needed 
now to help complete the development and implementation of the UI 
PERFORMS system and will replace other regulations, two of which 
establish Secretary's Standards for first payment and lower appeals 
timeliness. Until those regulations have been replaced the related UI 
PERFORMS measures and criteria cannot be put in place. It will also 
establish a definitive framework for enforcing, if necessary, the 
elements and performance standards established as parts of the UI 
PERFORMS system. Until the regulation is in place, UI PERFORMS will 
remain incomplete.
