DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Review: Comment Request

October 26, 2005.
    The Department of Labor (DOL) has submitted the following public 
information collection request (ICR) 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 
this ICR, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by 
contacting Darrin King on 202-693-4129 (this is not a toll-free number) 
or e-mail: [email protected].
    Comments should be sent to Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the Bureau of Labor Statistics 
(BLS), Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC 
20503, 202-395-7316 (this is not a toll-free number), 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.
    Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics.
    Type of Review: New collection of information.
    Title: CPS Disability Questions Test.
    OMB Number: 1220-0NEW.
    Frequency: One time.
    Type of Response: Reporting.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 21,000.
    Number of Annual Responses: 21,000.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 2 minutes.
    Total Burden Hours: 700.
    Total Annualized capital/startup costs: $0.
    Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing 
services): $0.
    Description: The Current Population Survey (CPS) Disability 
Questions Test will gather information on the disability status of CPS 
respondents. The BLS will use the data to assess the effectiveness of 
new questions designed to identify persons with disabilities within the 
context of the CPS. Additionally, the BLS will be able to evaluate the 
effect that adding these questions to the CPS on a monthly basis will 
have on that survey's response rates. Other groups who may find these 
data to be of interest include veterans groups, educational 
associations, and disability advocacy groups.
    Because the Disability Questions Test is part of the CPS, the same 
detailed demographic information collected in the CPS will be available 
on respondents to the Test. Data concerning disabled persons will be 
possible across characteristics such as sex, race, age, and educational 
attainment of the respondent.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
