SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA to 
reinstate the Current Population Survey (CPS) Disability Supplement 
information collection without change from when it was most recently 
approved. The Disability Supplement will provide information on labor 
force participation rates for people with disabilities; the use of and 
satisfaction with programs that prepare people with disabilities for 
employment; the work history, barriers to employment, and workplace 
accommodations reported by persons with a disability; and the effect of 
financial assistance programs on the likelihood of working. Because the 
Disability Supplement is part of the CPS, the same detailed demographic 
information collected in the CPS will be available about respondents to 
the supplement. The BLS Authorizing Statute authorizes this information 
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1. 2.
    This proposed information collection is subject to the PRA. A 
Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an 
information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 
and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 
notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally 
be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information if the collection of information does not display a valid 
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional 
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice 
published in the Federal Register on December 26, 2018 (83 FR 66310).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1220-0186. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     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.
