days from the date of this publication in the Federal Register.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:

     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: CPS Displaced Worker, Job Tenure, and Occupational Mobility 
Supplement.
    OMB Number: 1220-0104.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Biennially.
    Number of Respondents: 58,000.

    Description: The Current Population Survey (CPS) has been the 
principal source of the official Government statistics on employment 
and unemployment for nearly 60 years. Collection of labor force data 
through the CPS helps the Department of Labor meet its mandate as set 
forth in Title 29, United States Code, Sections 1 through 9. The 
information collected will evaluate the size and nature of the 
population affected by job displacements, and hence, the needs and 
scope of job training programs serving adult displaced workers. These 
data will measure the severity of the displacement problem and assess 
employment stability.
