Agency Form Under Review by the Office of Management and Budget

    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
clearance the following proposal for collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of the Census.
    Title: National Training Survey
    Form Number(s): NTS-1.
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 2,033 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 6,400 will receive an introductory letter. 
3,000 of those will be contacted for an interview.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 35 minutes including the letter.
    Needs and Uses: The Bureau of the Census plans to conduct the 
National Training Survey (NTS) for the Center for Educational Quality 
of the Workforce (EQW), a group of social scientists funded by the 
National Center for Education Statistics to study the workplace in 
America. The NTS will provide unique information on employer-provided 
training by identifying relationships between the training and economic 
characteristics of the establishment. The EQW will incorporate the 
results of this survey into a larger five-year examination of the 
American workplace and will coordinate its efforts with similar studies 
and groups in other countries and with the World Bank. This examination 
will provide planners and policy-makers in government and the private 
sector with information on how our workforce compares and competes with 
other countries in South America and the Far East. The Census Bureau 
will also study ways of incorporating establishment data gathered in 
the NTS into our Longitudinal Research Database.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: One-time only.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.
