SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Occupational Information Network 

(O*Net) Data Collection Program yields 

detailed characteristics of occupations 

and skills for over 800 occupations by 

obtaining information from job 

incumbents/occupational specialists on 

worker and job characteristics to 

populate the O*Net database. The 

O*Net database information is used for 

a wide range of purposes related to 

career counseling and development, 

curriculum design, human resources 

functions and workforce investment 

efforts. The data collection methodology 

includes contacting businesses/ 

associations to gain their cooperation, 

and collecting information from 

employees of cooperating businesses/ 

associations as well as occupational 

specialists. While not affecting public 

burdens, this ICR technically qualifies 

as a revision under the PRA. The agency 

has added a questionnaire comment box 

soliciting respondent feedback on the 

last page of the Background/Association 

Questionnaire and removed a question 

about apprenticeship from the 

Knowledge Questionnaire. The agency 

has also made minor editorial changes 

to cover materials, to be consistent with 

other DOL information collections. 

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, 

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 OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The 

DOL obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under OMB 

Control Number 1205–0421. The current 

OMB approval is scheduled to expire on 

May 31, 2012; however, it should be 

noted that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review. 

For additional information, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on November 29, 2011 (76 FR 

73680). 

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 

reference OMB Control Number 1205– 

0421. 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.
