SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The BLS enters into Cooperative 

Agreements with State Workforce 

Agencies (SWAs) annually to provide 

financial assistance to the SWAs for the 

production and operation of the 

following LMI statistical programs: 

Current Employment Statistics, Local 

Area Unemployment Statistics, 

Occupational Employment Statistics, 

and Quarterly Census of Employment 

and Wages. The Cooperative Agreement 

provides the basis for managing the 

administrative and financial aspects of 

these programs. 

The existing collection of information 

allows Federal staff to negotiate the 

Cooperative Agreement with the SWAs 

and monitor their financial and 

programmatic performance and 

adherence to administrative 

requirements imposed by the Uniform 

Administrative Requirements, Cost 

Principles, and Audit Requirements for 

Federal Awards (2 CFR 200) and other 

grant related regulations. The 

information collected also is used for 

planning and budgeting at the Federal 

level and in meeting Federal reporting 

requirements. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for the LMI 

Cooperative Agreement application 

package. The extension of this 

collection of information will allow the 

BLS to incorporate routine annual 

updates to the Cooperative Agreement 

and work statements which define SWA 

deliverables and requirements and 

allow the BLS to carry out its 

responsibilities to monitor financial and 

programmatic performance. 

The Cooperative Agreement 

application package being submitted for 

approval is representative of the 

package sent every year to state 

agencies. The work statements included 

in the Cooperative Agreement 

application also are representative of 

what is included in the whole LMI 

Cooperative Agreement package. The 

final Cooperative Agreement, including 

the work statements, will be submitted 

separately to the Office of Management 

and Budget for review of any minor 

year-to-year information collection 

burden changes they may contain. 

III. Desired Focus of Comments 

The BLS 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. 

• 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.

Information (LMI) Cooperative 

Agreement Application Package.

Homeland Security (DHS, US Coast 

Guard), the National Personnel Records 

Center (NPRC) of the National Archives 

and Records Administration (NARA) 

administers military service records of

death. When veterans and other 

authorized individuals request 

information from or copies of 

documents in military service records, 

they must provide in forms or in letters 

certain information about the veteran 

and the nature of the request. Federal 

agencies, military departments, 

veterans, veterans’ organizations, and 

the general public use Standard Forms 

(SF) 180, Request Pertaining to Military 

Records, in order to obtain information 

from military service records stored at 

NPRC. Veterans and next-of-kin of 

deceased veterans can also use eVetRecs 

(http://www.archives.gov/research_

room/vetrecs/) to order copies. NA Form 

13176, Status Update to Request for 

Military Service Records, was added to 

allow the veteran or other authorized 

individuals to follow-up on their 

request.
