SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 
1979 (NLSY79) is a representative national sample of persons who were 
born in the years 1957 to 1964 and lived in the U.S. in 1979. These 
respondents were ages 14 to 22 when the first round of interviews began 
in 1979; they will be ages 59 to 66 when the planned round thirty-one 
of interview is conducted in 2024. One of the goals of DOL is to 
produce and disseminate timely, accurate, and relevant information 
about the U.S. labor force. The BLS contributes to this goal by 
gathering information about the labor force and labor market and 
disseminating it to policymakers and the public so that participants in 
those markets can make more informed, and thus more efficient, choices. 
Research based on the NLSY79 contributes to the formation of national 
policy in the areas of education, training, employment programs, and 
school-to-work transitions. For additional substantive information 
about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal 
Register on February 14, 2024 (89 FRN 11317).
    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.
