SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

is to obtain OMB approval for changes 

to the Annual Refiling Survey (ARS), 

which is used in conjunction with the 

Unemployment Insurance tax reporting 

system in each State. The primary 

purpose of the ARS is to verify or to 

correct the North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) code 

assigned to establishments, as well as to 

obtain accurate mailing and physical 

location addresses of establishments. As 

a result, changes in the industrial and 

geographical compositions of the 

economy are captured in a timely 

manner and reflected in BLS statistical 

programs. Federal, State, and Local 

Governmental officials, as well as 

private researchers, depend on accurate 

geographical and industrial coding 

based on the 2012 North American 

Industry Classification System Manual. 

This ICR has been classified as a 

revision, because of minor changes to 

the notification letters and collection 

instruments. 

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 it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

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 Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1220–0032. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on 

December 31, 2013; however, the DOL 

notes that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review. 

New requirements would only take 

effect upon OMB approval. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 23, 2013 (78 FR 44160). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB Control Number 1220– 

0032. The OMB 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; and 

• 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 submission of 

responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL 

administers the Fair Labor Standards 

Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. 201, et seq. The 

FLSA generally requires covered 

employers to pay employees at least the 

Federal minimum wage for all hours 

worked and overtime premium pay of 

time and one-half the regular rate of pay 

for all hours worked over forty (40) in 

a workweek. However, the FLSA 

includes a number of exemptions from 

the minimum wage and overtime 

requirements, requiring employers to 

classify employees to ensure adherence 

to proper practices. The DOL intends to 

administer a survey to collect 

information about employment 

experiences and worker knowledge as to 

basic employment laws in order to 

understand employee experiences with 

worker classification issues. More 

specifically, the DOL plans to compile 

an analytical research report on the 

findings and results of a nationally 

representative survey of workers. The 

DOL will also report on a qualitative 

study of employers that includes results 

from in-depth employer interviews. 

This proposed 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 it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

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 if the 

collection of information does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For 

additional information, see the related 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on January 11, 2013.
