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 Employers Survey II.
    Form Number(s): None. Automated survey instrument.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0787.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously 
approved collection for which approval has expired.
    Burden: 600 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 3,000
    Avg Hours Per Response: 12 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Bureau of the Census plans to conduct a follow-
up to the National Employers Survey (NES) (originally titled the 
National Training Survey) which was conducted in the Fall of 1994. The 
NES provided a baseline of information about how employment, training, 
and hiring practices affect and promote a skilled and proficient 
workforce. Results were enthusiastically welcomed and accepted by 
government, business, and academia as filling a need for information on 
employment, training, and hiring practices and policies. The NES II is 
a short follow-up survey directed to the original NES respondents to 
clarify, confirm, and amplify the results of the original survey, as 
well as address some points raised by those results. Employers will use 
the results of the NES, augmented with this follow-up information, to 
formulate employment practices and policies. Government will use the 
results in legislative and policy-making decisions.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.
