9780 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 42 / Monday, March 5, 2007 / Notices 

of Disability Policy to provide initiatives 

such as EARN to ‘‘further the objective 

of eliminating employment barriers to 

the training and employment of people 

with disabilities’’. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

The Department is particularly 

interested in comments which: 

• Evaluate whether the 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 

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 submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Action 

This proposed collection ICR covers: 

The Survey of Employer Perspectives on 

the Employment of People With 

Disabilities. The survey will build on 

the findings of previous employer 

surveys, with an emphasis on current 

attitudes and practices of employers in 

12 industry sectors, including some 

high growth industries as projected by 

the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). 

ODEP is also interested in 

understanding employers’ perspectives 

about disability employment by 

company size and the particular type of 

the employer (e.g. Executive, Human 

Resources, Equal Employment 

Opportunity, front line supervisor or 

manager). The survey will be conducted 

by telephone by a survey firm utilizing 

computer assisted telephone 

interviewing (CATI) capability. The 

survey will also solicit free-text 

comments from employers regarding the 

employment of people with disabilities. 

Agency: Office of Disability 

Employment Policy.

Perspectives in the Employment of

Type of Response: Reporting.

for-profit; Not-for-profit institutions; 

Farms; Federal Government; and State, 

Local, or Tribal Government.

Total Burden Cost (operating/

Description: The survey is designed to 

collect data on employers’ perspectives 

on the employment of people with 

disabilities. ODEP plans to use the data 

to formulate targeted strategies and 

policies for increasing the employment 

of persons with disabilities. Various 

industry sectors provide opportunities 

to increase the employment of persons 

with disabilities. ODEP would like to be 

able to make comparisons among the 

industry sectors, including high growth 

industries. This survey entails 

conducting a 20-minute telephone 

survey of a representative sample of 

senior executives representing 12 

industries by company size [small (5–

249 employees), medium (250–499 

employees), and large companies (500 

or more employees)]. Westat will 

conduct interviews with 3,600 

respondents. The survey will utilize a 

stratified random sample design. Larger 

companies will be over sampled, but all 

companies will be selected with equal 

probability within each stratum. The 

domains of the population of interest for 

the survey are based on company size 

classes within the major industry 

sectors. The size classes are small, 

medium, and large. The size classes will 

be based on the number of employees of 

the company. A uniform set of size class 

boundaries can be used for all industry 

sectors, e.g., small (5–249 employees), 

medium (250–499 employees), and large 

companies (500 or more employees). 

However, size distribution of the 

companies may vary considerably 

across the major industry sectors. 

Consequently, optimal size strata 

boundaries can differ across the 

industries substantially. There are a 

total of 36 (three size classes within 12 

sectors) domains of interest. 

The research team will describe the 

concerns employers have about the 

employment of persons with 

disabilities, and how ODEP’s policies 

can help employers address those 

concerns. The survey will also provide 

information on steps employers have 

taken to recruit and hire persons with 

disabilities, as well as retain and 

promote those employees. The survey 

will inform disability employment 

policy and practice by comparing 

perspectives of senior executives in 

firms of varying size and industry 

sectors, including some of the fastest 

growing industries in the United States. 

In addition, the results will also inform 

the development of ODEP’s programs 

and policies.

under 29 CFR part 75, authorizes the 

United States Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) to make or guarantee loans or 

grants to finance industrial and business 

activities in rural areas. The Secretary of 

Labor must review the application for 

financial assistance for the purpose of 

certifying to the Secretary of Agriculture

likely, to result in: (a) A transfer of any 

employment or business activity from
