SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:27 Oct 07, 2014
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Quarterly Census of Employment and
Wages (QCEW) information collection.
The BLS uses QCEW data provided by
State Workforce Agencies as a sampling
frame for establishment surveys; for
publishing accurate current estimates of
employment for the U.S., States,
counties, and metropolitan areas; and
for publishing quarterly census totals of
local establishment counts,
employment, and wages. The Bureau of
Economic Analysis uses the data to
produce accurate personal income data
in a timely matter for the U.S., States,
and local areas. Finally, the data is
critical to the Employment Training
Administration in administrating
unemployment insurance programs.
This information collection is
authorized by the Act establishing the
BLS (codified at 29 U.S.C. 1, 2) and
Wagner-Peyser Act, as Amended section
15 (see 29 U.S.C. 491–2).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1220–0012.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2014. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 22, 2014 (79 FR 29455).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number

1220–0012. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• 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.
