Employer Costs for Employee 

Compensation (ECEC), employee 

benefits data (on coverage, cost, and 

provisions), and data used by the 

President’s Pay Agent. This data is used 

by compensation administrators and 

researchers in the public and private 

sectors. Data from the NCS are used to 

help in determining monetary policy (as 

a Principal Federal Economic Indicator). 

The integrated program’s single sample 

produces both time-series indexes and 

cost levels for industry and 

occupational groups, thereby increasing 

the analytical potential of the data. 

The NCS employs probability 

methods for selection of occupations. 

This ensures that sampled occupations 

represent all occupations in the 

workforce, while minimizing the 

reporting burden on respondents. The 

survey collects data from a sample of 

employers. These data will consist of 

information about the duties, 

responsibilities, and compensation 

(earnings and benefits) for a sample of 

occupations for each sampled employer. 

Data will be updated on a quarterly 

basis. The updates will allow for 

production of data on change in 

earnings and total compensation. 

This survey was revised to 

temporarily add questions to the 

National Compensation Survey to cover 

sick leave policy changes due to the 

coronavirus pandemic. These questions 

were collected primarily through email 

in June and July of 2020. These data 

were approved for collection under 

Emergency OMB Clearance Package 

1220–0195, but they were discontinued 

on November 13, 2020. Respondents 

will electronically complete and submit 

responses through a simple fillable 

form. The additional sick leave policy 

questions are not intended to be 

collected beyond the July timeframe. At 

this time, BLS has discontinued in 

person data collection in response to the 

coronavirus pandemic. NCS will return 

to using in person interviews as a 

method of collection once restrictions 

are lifted. During this time, the NCS is 

relying heavily on telephone, email, and 

mail for current collection. Video 

interview collection is also available in 

response to the pandemic and is being 

considered as a standard collection 

method. 

The NCS collects earnings and work 

level data on occupations for the nation. 

The NCS also collects information on 

the cost, provisions, and incidence of 

major employee benefits through its 

benefit cost and benefit provision 

programs and publications. BLS has for 

a number of years been using a revised 

approach to the Locality Pay Survey 

(LPS) component of the NCS; this uses 

data from two current BLS programs— 

the Occupational Employment Statistics 

(OES) survey and the ECI program. This 

approach uses OES data to provide wage 

data by occupation and by area, while 

ECI data are used to specify grade level 

effects. This approach is also being used 

to extend the estimation of pay gaps to 

areas that were not included in the prior 

Locality Pay Survey sample, and these 

data have been delivered to the Pay 

Agent (in 2019, data for 95 areas were 

delivered). 

For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on June 11, 2020 (85 FR 35667). 

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.

60-Day Notice for the ‘‘NEA Panelist 

Profile Data’’ 

AGENCY: National Endowment for the 

Arts, National Foundation on the Arts 

and the Humanities. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed collection; 

comment request. 

SUMMARY: The National Endowment for 

the Arts (NEA), as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden, conducts a 

preclearance consultation program to 

provide the general public and federal 

agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. This program 

helps to ensure that requested data is 

provided in the desired format; 

reporting burden (time and financial 

resources) is minimized; collection 

instruments are clearly understood; and 

the impact of collection requirements on 

respondents is properly assessed. 

Currently, the NEA is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

information collection of NEA panelist 

profile data. A copy of the current 

information collection request can be 

obtained by contacting the office listed 

below in the address section of this 

notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

address section below within 60 days 

from the date of this publication in the 

Federal Register. The NEA 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 

• Can help the agency minimize the 

burden of the collection of information on 

those who are to respond, including through 

the electronic submission of responses.
