Accommodate Expanded Name Fields and Additional Labor Market 
Information.
    OMB Number: 1205-0NEW.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Type of Response: Reporting.
    Frequency: One time.
    Number of Respondents: 1,600.
    Annual Responses: 1,615.
    Average Response Time: 30 minutes to complete the survey and 90 
minutes to conduct a case study interview.
    Estimated Burden Hours: 823.
    Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: $0.
    Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing

    Description: The information collected with this survey is 
necessary to assess of the burden employers and State Employment

efficiency of the National Directory of New Hires database in locating 
the employment of individuals who are not meeting their parental 
responsibilities. The additional LMI data is needed to improve the 
ability to accurately assess the value of various workforce Investment 
Act vocational training programs and to enrich the pool of LMI data 
available.
