SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks PRA authority for the National 

Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 

(NLSY79) information collection. The 

NLSY79 is a representative national 

sample of persons who were born in the 

years 1957 to 1964 and lived in the U.S. 

in 1978. These respondents were ages 

14 to 22 when the first round of 

interviews began in 1979; they are ages 

49 to 58 as of December 31, 2013. The 

NLSY79 was conducted annually from 

1979 to 1994 and has been conducted 

biennially since 1994. The longitudinal 

focus of this survey requires information 

to be collected from the same 

individuals over many years in order to 

trace their education, training, work 

experience, fertility, income, and 

program participation. In addition to the 

main NLSY79, the biological children of 

female NLSY79 respondents have been 

surveyed since 1986. A battery of child 

cognitive, socio-emotional, and 

physiological assessments has been 

administered biennially since 1986 to 

NLSY79 mothers and their children. 

Starting in 1994, children who had 

reached age 15 by December 31, of the 

survey year (the Young Adults) were 

interviewed about their work 

experiences, training, schooling, health, 

fertility, self-esteem, and other topics. 

One DOL goal 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. Title 29 USC 1 and 2 

authorize this information collection. 

This proposed 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, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information if the 

collection of information does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For 

additional information, see the related 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on March 26, 2014 (79 FR 16828). 

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 thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1220–0109. 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.
