1944 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 8 / Thursday, January 11, 2024 / Notices 

Southwest Studies, Fort Lewis College, 

acquired part of the Magic Mountain 

collection from the Rimrocker Historical 

Society. The Rimrock Historical Society 

originally accepted the materials as part 

of a larger donation in 1998 from Dr. 

Jonathan Kent of Metropolitan State 

College of Denver (now the 

Metropolitan State University of 

Denver). In April 2023, DMNS staff 

learned of the Center of Southwest 

Studies, Fort Lewis College Magic 

Mountain collection. Both parties 

agreed to transfer the materials to DMNS 

in 2023 since the Museum holds the 

majority of the collections from the site. 

Prior to transfer analysis conducted by 

Dr. Dawn Mulhern identified 31 bone 

fragments. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Bureau of Labor Statistics 

Information Collection Activities; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

Department of Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of information collection; 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed revision of the 

‘‘Quarterly Census of Employment and 

Wages Business Supplement.’’ A copy 

of the proposed information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the individual listed below in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice on or 

before March 11, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Quarterly Census of Employment 

and Wages Business Supplement (QBS) 

is a versatile collection instrument 

designed to capture information on the 

US economy quickly and efficiently. 

The QBS collection is designed to 

incorporate new questionnaires as the 

need arises to allow BLS to collect and 

publish information quickly so that 

stakeholders and data users can 

understand the impact of specific 

events, or economic issues of relevance, 

on the US economy. 

The BLS will primarily use the 

Annual Refiling Survey (ARS) as a 

platform for conducting the QBS. Each 

year, the BLS Quarterly Census of 

Employment and Wages (QCEW) 

Program conducts the ARS by reaching 

out to approximately 1.5 million 

establishments requesting verification of 

their main business activity, and their 

mailing and physical location addresses. 

The fully web-based ARS allows for an 

accelerated timeframe for collection and 

provides a low-cost platform for 

conducting the quick, short surveys of 

the QBS. The QBSs accompanying the 

ARS have little data collection 

overhead, leveraging the respondent 

contact process undertaken as part of 

the production ARS. QBS respondents 

already logged into the ARS secure 

website are directed to a QBS and asked 

to answer a limited number of 

additional survey questions after 

completing the ARS. QBS respondents 

that are not in the ARS are solicited 

using established contact methods 

(email and/or printed letters) and 

directed to a stand-alone interface to 

access and answer the QBS questions 

online. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for a revision 

of the QCEW Business Supplement 

(QBS). 

The QBS is designed to encourage a 

fast response and minimize respondent 

burden on the public by limiting the 

number of questions on each survey and 

by asking questions that respondents 

should be able to answer without 

research or referring to records. In this 

manner, BLS can provide information 

that is needed quickly and is not 

collected elsewhere. The QBS will 

incorporate new questionnaires as the 

need for data arises, as frequently as 

twice a year. The BLS plans to conduct 

multiple small surveys under the QBS 

clearance. The 2024 survey will focus 

on establishments’ telework policies 

and practices, recent experiences in 

hiring, and how they advertise 

vacancies. These questions were 

previously asked in the 2022 QBS 

collected under this clearance (the 2022 

Business Response Survey). Asking 

these questions again, a full two years 

later, will provide an understanding of 

how these business operations have 

changed. 

III. Desired Focus of Comments 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics 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. 

Title of Collection: QCEW Business 

Supplement. 

OMB Number: 1220–0198. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and 

farms. 

Total Number of Respondents: 80,000. 

Frequency: Once. 

Total Responses: 80,000. 

Average Time per Response: 5 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 6,667 

hours. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for Office of 

Management and Budget approval of the 

information collection request; they also 

will become a matter of public record. 

Signed at Washington, DC, on January 5,
