SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 
1997 (NLSY97) is a nationally representative sample of persons who were 
born in the years 1980 to 1984. These respondents were ages 12-17 when 
the first round of annual interviews began in 1997. The primary 
objective of the survey is to study the transition from schooling to 
the establishment of careers and families. Starting with round sixteen, 
the NLSY97 is conducted on a biennial basis. Round twenty interviews 
will occur from September 2021 to June 2022. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on January 28, 2021 (86 FR 7421).
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and

collection, unless the OMB approves it 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 that does not
