    Federal-State Unemployment Compensation Program: Certifications

        On October 31, 1998, the Secretary of Labor signed the annual 
    certifications under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, 26 U.S.C. 3301 
    et seq., thereby enabling employers who make contributions to State 
    unemployment funds to obtain certain credits for their liability for 
    the Federal unemployment tax. By letter of the same date the 
    certifications were transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury. The 
    letter and certifications are printed below.
