SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

BLS is currently developing plans for 

a new NLSY cohort. The BLS provided 

Congress with a 5-year development 

plan, which would culminate in fielding 

a first round of collection in 2026. This 

development plan is available in section 

IV below and at https://www.bls.gov/ 

nls/nlsy26.htm. As part of this process, 

BLS is committed to engaging with new 

and experienced users of NLSY data to 

maximize the eventual utility of the new 

NLSY cohort. This request for 

information is one avenue of this 

engagement plan. The development of a 

new NLSY cohort will build upon BLS 

experience and analysis of its two 

ongoing NLSY cohorts. 

1. National Longitudinal Survey of 

Youth 1979 (NLSY79) 

The NLSY79 sample is composed of 

12,686 young men and women who 

were born in the years 1957 to 1964. 

Data were first collected in 1979, when 

sample members were ages 14–22. In 

December 2021, BLS completed round 

29 of data collection with NLSY79 

sample members who were ages 55 to 

63. BLS has followed this cohort of late 

Baby Boomers for over 40 years, 

recording their lives from their teens 

into their 50s and early 60s. 

2. National Longitudinal Survey of 

Youth 1997 (NLSY97) 

The NLSY97 began over 20 years ago 

with the collection of data from a 

sample of 8,984 youths who were born 

in the years 1980 to 1984. The sample 

members were ages 12–16 as of 

December 31, 1996. In Fall 2021, BLS 

began round 20 of data collection for 

this cohort with sample members ages 

36 to 41. 

More information about the ongoing 

NLSY cohorts is available at https://

www.bls.gov/nls/. 

The longitudinal approach of the 

NLSY cohorts provides data to 

economists, sociologists, and other 

researchers in government, academia, 

and private organizations to answer 

such questions as how wages change 

over time, how schooling and training 

contribute to the development and 

maintenance of skills to obtain and keep 

good jobs over one’s career, how 

individuals navigate work and family 

responsibilities, and how individuals 

plan for retirement as their careers come 

to an end. To continue building on these 

longstanding strengths of the NLSY 

cohorts, BLS envisions that a new youth 

cohort would cover a broad range of 

topics related to labor market outcomes 

for a new generation entering the labor 

force. 

Respondents in previous NLSY 

cohorts have been asked a core set of 

questions that provide extensive 

information on employment, training, 

education, income, assets, marital 

status, fertility, health, attitudes toward 

work, experiences with the criminal 

justice system, household composition, 

and occupational and geographical 

mobility. In addition, the previous 

cohorts were administered cognitive 

assessments. BLS anticipates that the 

new youth cohort will cover these same 

topics and include assessments of 

cognitive and non-cognitive skills, thus 

enabling the study of educational 

experiences, achievement, cognitive and 

non-cognitive skills, and the transition 

from school to work; training programs 

and training in the workplace; the value 

of early-career job exploration; 

geographic mobility; relationships 

between the workplace and the wellbeing of the family and family 

transitions; drug and alcohol use; 

juvenile delinquency and criminal 

behavior; fertility and childbearing; and 

employment and earnings of workers. 

As with past NLSY cohorts, a new 

cohort would collect detailed 

information about each job held, 

including start and stop dates for each 

job and characteristics of each job such 

as wages, hours, occupation, and 

industry. Information about periods 

when no jobs are held would also be 

collected. Detailed information would 

be collected on education and training, 

and events such as marriage and 

divorce, as well as fertility, all of which 

affect labor market choices. 

More information about the NLSY26 

cohort and current BLS plans is 

available at https://www.bls.gov/nls/ 

nlsy26.htm. 

II. Current and Planned Engagement 

In October 2020, the National Science 

Foundation funded a ‘‘Shaping a New 

National Longitudinal Survey of Youth’’ 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
12734 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 44 / Monday, March 7, 2022 / Notices 

conference, which brought together 

academics from many disciplines, 

leaders from federal agencies, and 

independent researchers to share 

information about previous 

achievements of the NLSY cohorts, 

identify emerging and ongoing needs for 

studying upcoming workforce 

generations, and discuss how a new 

cohort could meet those needs. The 

conference served as a building block 

for additional stakeholder and user 

outreach for planning the NLSY26 

cohort. 

In addition, BLS has begun extensive 

consultation with stakeholders in 

government, academia, research and 

policy organizations, users of NLS 

products, and relevant advisory 

committees. BLS has consulted with 

members of its NLS Technical Review 

Committee and conducted outreach 

meetings with several government 

agencies including the Department of 

Justice, National Institute for Child 

Health and Human Development, 

Department of Health and Human 

Services, and the National Center for 

Educational Statistics. 

BLS is currently planning for several 

additional outreach activities. First, BLS 

plans to engage with stakeholder 

organizations, such as the Council of 

Professional Associations on Federal 

Statistics (COPAFS), the Association of 

Public Data Users (APDU), the 

American Association for Public 

Opinion Research (AAPOR), the 

American Statistical Association (ASA), 

the American Economic Association 

(AEA), Population Association of 

America (PAA), and others, to inform 

them of BLS’s current plans. This 

engagement will also be used to 

encourage their members to submit 

feedback to this Federal Register Notice 

and other future planned activities. In 

addition, BLS is planning to issue a user 

survey, host focus groups on various 

topics, and make available 

informational materials to enable 

feedback and insight from the 

stakeholder community’s broad range of 

knowledge and interest. Each part of the 

current plan is described further below. 

Informational Materials. NLSY 

informational materials will contain 

items to support organizations or 

individuals interested in learning more 

about the current NLSY cohorts and 

upcoming plans for the NLSY26 cohort. 

The materials will include sample email 

templates that entities can use to 

encourage their constituents to submit 

input, as well as presentations and fact 

sheets on a variety of content areas to 

support a discussion that would yield 

feedback. Users can submit feedback 

through the user survey and/or this 

Federal Register Notice. 

User Survey. This survey will be 

designed to gain information from a 

wide range of stakeholders and data 

users while imposing a low burden on 

respondents. The proposed survey will 

ask about users’ satisfaction with past 

questionnaire content and data access, 

as well as their priorities for a new 

youth cohort to inform BLS of 

anticipated research needs in the future. 

The user survey is available at the link 

below: https://www.bls.gov/nls/ 

nlsy26.htm. 

Focus Groups. A series of focus 

groups will be conducted to gather more 

detailed input and provide greater 

community engagement. These focus 

groups will include introductory 

information about NLSY cohorts to be 

accessible to a wide audience. The BLS 

will tailor the discussions towards 

survey features that are relevant to the 

associated user communities. These 

focus groups will seek feedback from 

both targeted stakeholders and user 

groups. BLS will conduct a series of six 

virtual sessions regarding: (1) Childhood 

and Family Retrospective; (2) Physical 

Health, Environment, and Climate; (3) 

Mental Health; (4) Employment, Jobs, 

and the Future of Work; (5) Innovations 

in International Surveys; and (6) Think 

tanks/Research organizations/Nonprofits. Each session will involve 7 to 9 

participants, representing a range of 

stakeholders and users with expertise in 

the session topic areas. These sessions 

may cover survey content and survey 

objectives, as well as usability and 

accessibility of data files for a new 

youth cohort. 

III. Additional Information-Gathering 

Activities 

In tandem with the user engagement 

activities described above, the BLS is 

conducting several activities to gather 

information that is relevant to its 

development of a new NLSY cohort. 

BLS has funded four content panels to 

provide opportunities for experts in 

different subject areas to make sure that 

emerging ideas, best practices, and 

relevant examples are brought forward 

for consideration for an NLSY26. Four 

panels are scheduled in FY2022 

regarding: (1) Family and Early 

Childhood Retrospectives; (2) K–12 

Education and Cognition; (3) Health and 

Environment; and (4) Department of 

Defense Initiatives and Assessments. 

Each panel is expected to have 4–7 

members who will meet several times 

over the course of 3–5 months before 

determining their recommendations. 

BLS has also funded a retrospective 

analysis of data from the NLSY79 and 

NLSY97 cohorts. This analysis will 

document past usage of different topics 

and variables, examine the publications 

that resulted from this usage, and 

compare the NLSY cohorts to other 

major longitudinal surveys and other 

BLS household surveys to identify areas 

of overlap. 

Finally, BLS has funded a study to 

evaluate alternative (non-survey) data 

sources that may potentially be 

incorporated in the new NLSY cohort to 

improve accuracy, increase granularity, 

provide information on new topics, and/ 

or reduce respondent burden. This 

study will include a broad scan to 

identify potentially useful sources, 

analyses to develop potential use cases, 

and information-gathering to allow 

assessment of the feasibility and value 

of each use case. 

IV. NLSY26 Development Plan

V. Desired Focus of Comments 

As BLS pursues the current and 

planned engagement and informationgathering activities described above to 

support development of a new NLSY 

cohort, BLS is also interested in hearing 

directly from the public in response to 

this FRN. BLS is particularly interested 

in comments and recommendations on 

the following aspects of the new NLSY 

cohort: 

• Questionnaire content 

• Survey methodology 

• Sampling 

• Data dissemination 

The BLS welcomes comments on any 

aspect of the above areas and is 

especially interested in comments on: 

• Research questions that a new 

cohort of the National Longitudinal 

Surveys program would address at 

different points in the life course. 

• The distinctive role of NLSY 

cohorts among the range of survey and 

non-survey data sources. 

• Factors that inform researchers’ 

choice of data sources. 

• Modifications in the coverage of 

specific topics compared to previous 

NLSY cohorts. This could include any 

gaps in the current data, ‘must keep’ 

elements in the current data, or 

elements that are less valuable. 

• Uses of data from a new NLSY 

cohort that BLS should anticipate and 

prioritize (e.g., training of young 

researchers, benchmarking specialized 

samples, policy analysis, cross-cohort 

comparisons, basic research on human 

behavior, etc.). 

• Design and implementation features 

of a new NLSY cohort that users will 

find most valuable (e.g., accessible 

public use files, frequency of data 

collection, availability of biometric 

measures, oversamples of specific 

populations, linkage possibilities to 

selected administrative data, ease of use 

of data, alignment with other surveys, 

etc.). 

• New social and economic trends 

that are important to consider in 

designing a new NLSY cohort. 

• Any other issues BLS should 

consider in developing a new NLSY 

cohort. 

In addition, BLS is open to hearing 

from the public about how to improve 

its current stakeholder engagement 

plans to promote equitable and 

diversified feedback as a new NLSY 

cohort is developed.
