SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose: USDA seeks further public 

input on its plans for enhancing policy, 

infrastructure, and outreach to make 

results of the research it funds more 

readily available and accessible by the 

public. 

Background: USDA developed a 

public access plan in response to the 

February 22, 2013, OSTP memorandum 

entitled ‘‘Increasing Access to the 

Results of Federally Funded Scientific 

Research’’ and several White House 

memoranda. Current USDA policy and 

activities were developed from that 

original plan. On August 25, 2022, 

OSTP issued a new public access 

memorandum: ‘‘Ensuring Free, 

Immediate, and Equitable Access to 

Federally Funded Research.’’ In 

response to OSTP’s 2022 memo, USDA 

will enhance policy, infrastructure, and 

outreach to make its scientific data and 

publications more readily available and 

accessible by the public, as described 

generally in its new plan available at: 

https://www.nal.usda.gov/services/ 

public-access/. This comment period, 

organized by the National Agricultural 

Library on behalf of the USDA Office of 

the Chief Scientist, allows interested 

parties the opportunity to provide 

feedback on USDA’s plan and to inform 

details of its policy-making and other 

implementation. The USDA Public 

Access plan and policies apply to the 

results of research funded wholly or in 

part by any USDA component agency. 

USDA provides the following questions 

to prompt feedback and comments. 

USDA encourages public comment on 

any or all of these questions, and also 

seeks any other information that 

commenters believe is relevant. 

• How can USDA best implement its 

plans to improve public access to 

USDA-funded research results? 

• How can USDA update or refine its 

policies to improve public access to 

USDA-funded research results? 

• How can USDA ensure equity in 

publication opportunities? 

• How can USDA use partnerships to 

improve public access and accessibility 

to results of USDA-funded research? 

• How can USDA monitor impacts on 

communities impacted by its public 

access policies?

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

Review and Approval; Comment 

Request; Longitudinal EmployerHousehold Dynamics (LEHD) 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on November 

14, 2023 during a 60-day comment 

period. This notice allows for an 

additional 30 days for public comments. 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, 

Department of Commerce. 

Title: Longitudinal EmployerHousehold Dynamics (LEHD). 

OMB Control Number: 0607–1001. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission, 

request for a revision of a currently 

approved collection. 

Number of Respondents: 54. 

Average Hours Per Response: No more 

than 8 hours required to identify and 

send/post required data sets. 

Burden Hours: 1728 hours. 

Needs and Uses: The data products 

developed by the LEHD program 

provide statistics on employment, 

earnings, and job flows at detailed levels 

of geography and industry and for 

different demographic groups. The 

potential and realized uses of these data 

products and their supporting 

dissemination tools are far-reaching, 

both for unraveling many important 

questions in economic research and for 

the provision of new statistical 

products. Over the first five months of 

2017, the Census Bureau received more 

than 105,000 visits to its LEHD 

dissemination tools. A few examples of 

novel use of LEHD data include:
