The Department of Labor (DOL) has

(OMB) for review and approval in

accordance with the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13,

44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). A copy of each

individual ICR, with applicable

supporting documentation, may be

obtained by calling the Department of

Labor. To obtain documentation for

BLS, ETA, PWBA, and OASAM contact

Karin Kurz ((202) 219–5096, ext. 159, or

by E-mail to Kurz-karin@dol.gov). To

obtain documentation for ESA, MSHA,

OSHA, and VETS contact Darrin King

((202) 219–5096, ext. 151, or by e-mail

to King-Darrin@dol.gov).

Comments should be sent to Office of

Information and Regulatory Affairs,

Attn: OMB Desk Officer for BLS, DM,

ESA, ETA, MSHA, OSHA, PWBA, or

VETS, Office of Management and

Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC

20503 ((202) 395–7316), within 30 days

from the date of this publication in the

Federal Register.

The OMB is particularly interested in

comments which:

• 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.

Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Title: Job Openings and Labor

Turnover Survey (JOLTS).

OMB Number: 1220–0 New.

Frequency: Monthly.

Affected Public: Business and other

for-profit. Not-for-profit institutions;

Federal Government; State, Local, or

Tribal Government.

Number of Respondents: 16,000 (full

survey year). To begin collection,

respondents will be added 1,000 per

month until the full sample is reached.

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 56

Minutes (Estimate).

Total Burden Hours: 14,859 (Calendar

Year Average).

Total Annualized Capital/Startup

Costs: $0.

Total Annual Costs (Operating/

Maintaining Systems or Purchasing

Services): $0.

Description: The Job Openings and

Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) will

collect data on job vacancies, labor

hires, and labor separations. The data

can be used as demand-side indicators

of labor shortages. These indicators of

labor shortages at the national level

would greatly enhance policy makers’

understanding of imbalances between

the demand and supply of labor.

Presently there is no economic indicator

of the demand for labor with which to

assess the presence of labor shortages in

the U.S. labor market. The availability of

unfilled jobs—the number of job

vacancies or the vacancy rate—is an

important measure of tightness of job

markets, parallel to existing measures of

unemployment.

Type of Review: Revision.

Agency; Employment and Training

Administration.

Title: Claims and Payment Activities.
