DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

May 24, 2001.

    The Department of Labor (DOL) has submitted the following public 
information collection requests (ICRs) to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). A copy of 
each individual ICR, with applicable supporting documentation, may be 
obtained by calling the Department of Labor. To obtain documentation 
for BLS, ESA, and PWBA contact Marlene Howze ((202) 219-8904 or by 
email to [email protected]).
    Comments should be sent to Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for BLS, DM, ESA, ETA, MSHA, OSHA, 
PWBA, or VETS, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, 
DC 20503 ((202) 395-7316), within 30 days from the date of this 
publication in the Federal Register.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
     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.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously 
approved collection for which approval has expired.
    Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
    Title: Veterans Supplement to the CPS.
    OMB Number: 1220-0102.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Biennially.
    Number of Respondents: 14,400.
    Number of Annual Responses: 14,400.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1 minute.
    Total Burden Hours: 240.
    Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: $0.
    Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing 
services): $0.
    Description: The veterans supplement provides information on the 
number of characteristics of disabled veterans, veterans who served in 
the Vietnam War Theater, and recently separated veterans, including 
their employment status. The supplement also provides data on veterans' 
participation in various employment and training programs.
    The Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) and the 
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will also use these data to 
determine policies that better meet the needs of our Nation's veteran 
population. Of current concern is the scope of the problems of the 
veterans as well as the effectiveness of veterans' benefit programs in 
meeting their needs. The collection of labor force data through the CPS 
helps BLS meet its mandate as set forth in Title 29, U.S.C., Sections 1 
through 9.
