SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks OMB approval for revisions to the 

Annual Refiling Survey (ARS). The ARS 

is used in conjunction with the BLS 

Quarterly Census of Employment and 

Wages (QCEW) program. The primary 

purpose of the ARS is to verify or to 

correct the North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) code 

assigned to establishments as well as to 

obtain accurate mailing and physical 

location addresses of establishments. As 

a result, changes in the industrial and 

geographical compositions of the 

economy are captured in a timely 

manner and reflected in BLS statistical 

programs. The QCEW program provides 

data necessary to administer State 

Unemployment Insurance systems. 

QCEW data accurately reflect the extent 

of coverage of the State UI laws and are 

used for determining UI total and 

taxable wages rates and for other 

purposes. Federal, State, and local 

government officials as well as private 

researchers depend on accurate 

geographical and industrial coding 

based on the 2012 North American 

Industry Classification System Manual. 

This ICR has been classified as a 

revision because of changes to the scope 

and frequency of the ARS and because 

of minor revisions to the notification 

letters and collection instruments. The 

DOL, in coordination with the OMB, 

curtailed the QCEW program through a 

permanent budget reduction of $4.8 

million in FY 2014. As a part of the 

effort to develop a reduction strategy 

with minimal impact on data quality, 

the ARS is being reduced in scope and 

is changing approach. 

An analysis considered how 

frequently establishments changed their 

industry, location, and ownership. The 

analysis looked at these changes over 

three ARS cycles covering nine years, 

and it showed there were industries 

with low rates of change. Thus, certain 

NAICS industries exist that traditionally 

have low volatility based on factors 

such as infrastructure, intellectual 

property, or advanced degrees that make 

them unlikely candidates for 

transitioning from one industry to 

another. Rather than surveying onethird of businesses in these low-change 

industries every year, the QCEW 

program will survey one-sixth of these 

businesses each year, putting them on a 

six-year cycle. The six-year cycle 

preserves the ability to identify trends 

in these slow-changing industries, while 

reducing workload, postage, and other 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 212 / Monday, November 3, 2014 / Notices 65251 

survey-related costs. The ARS will also 

exclude establishments with three or 

fewer employees starting in FY 2015. 

Nationwide, this will account for about 

160,000 fewer units annually. The Act 

establishing the BLS and Wagner-Peyser 

Act section 15 authorize this 

information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1, 

2, and 49l–2(a). 

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 

under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 

1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains 

OMB approval for this information 

collection under Control Number 1220– 

0032. The current approval is scheduled 

to expire on December 31, 2016; 

however, the DOL notes that existing 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB receive a monthto-month extension while they undergo 

review. New requirements would only 

take effect upon OMB approval. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 23, 2013 (78 FR 44160). 

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 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– 

0032. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Consumer Expenditure 

Surveys Quarterly Interview and Diary 

information collection. The BLS uses 

the Consumer Expenditure Surveys to 

gather information on expenditures, 

income, and other related subjects. 

These data are used periodically to 

update the national Consumer Price 

Index. In addition, the data are used by 

a variety of researchers in academia, 

government agencies, and the private 

sector. The data are collected from a 

national probability sample of 

households designed to represent the 

total civilian non-institutional 

population. Proposed changes to this 

ICR include implementing a new 

sample, eliminating the bounding 

interview, and updating and deleting 

several questions to reflect the current 

marketplace. Additionally, the ICR 

seeks clearance for a proof of concept 

test for a new survey design. The Census 

Authorizing Statute and BLS 

Authorizing Statute authorize this 

information collection. See 13 U.S.C. 8b 

and 29 U.S.C. 2. 

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 it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition,
