SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

National Compensation Survey (NCS), 

BLS currently uses the Employment 

Cost Index (ECI) and Occupational 

Employment Statistics to provide grade 

and local wage data required by the 

President’s Pay Agent to comply with 

the requirements of the Federal 

Employees Pay Comparability Act of 

1990. The President’s Pay Agent uses 

these data to recommend pay increases 

for Federal General Schedule workers; 

NCS data produces the Employment 

Cost Index which is designated a 

Principal Federal Economic Indicator 

under OMB Statistical Policy Directive 

No. 3. NCS data is used to produce the 

ECI, the Employer Cost for Employee 

Compensation, employee benefit 

provision publications, Modeled Wage 

Estimates, and data for the President’s 

Pay Agent. For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on November 9, 2023 (88 FR 

77363). 

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 the OMB 

approves it 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 that does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
