SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CPS Displaced Worker, Job Tenure, and 
Occupational Mobility supplement is conducted biennially and was last 
collected in January 2020. This supplement will gather information on 
workers who have lost or left their jobs because their plant or company 
closed or moved, there was insufficient work for them to do, or their 
position or shift was abolished. The supplement is sponsored by the 
Department of Labor's Chief Evaluation Office (CEO). For additional 
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice 
published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2021 (86 FR 27481).
    This 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 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 display a valid 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
