SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: At the request of Congress, the Department 
of Labor is conducting a review of the federal-state labor market 
information system. This notice requests comments from interested 
persons and organizations. The labor market information system is a 
cooperative effort involving the Department of Labor, state employment 
security agencies and other federal and state organizations. With 
federal funding and assistance, state agencies gather and disseminate 
information on employment, unemployment, the labor force, labor market 
trends, and job opportunities.
    The review will address user needs, legislative mandates, funding, 
coordination and management of the system, and the reliability of state 
and local labor force estimates. The review will also include proposals 
regarding overall policy and the future direction of the labor market 
information system.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 27th day of January, 1994.
Thomas J. Plewes,
Associate Commissioner for Employment and Unemployment Statistics, 
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
