DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Submission For OMB Review;

Comment Request

DOC has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following proposal for

collection of information under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).

Agency: Bureau of the Census.

Title: National Employers Survey—

School-to-Work Supplement.

Form Number(s): NES–1.

Agency Approval Number: 0607–

0787.

Type of Request: Reinstatement, with

change, of an expired collection.

Burden: 167 hours.

Number of Respondents: 1,000.

Avg Hours Per Response: 10 minutes.

Needs and Uses: As part of the Census

Bureau’s continuing research into how

the human resources practices of United

States businesses affect business

performance, the Census Bureau has

conducted three National Employers

Surveys (NES) over the past 4 years. In

the NES III we collected information on

partnerships between businesses and

schools. The School-to-Work

Supplement, sponsored by the Institute

for Research in Higher Education of the

University of Pennsylvania, will be

conducted as a follow-up to the NES III

and will provide specific and unique

longitudinal information on employers’

hiring and human resources practices

and particularly their participation in

school-to-work partnership activities.

The information we collect will enable

analysts to measure the impact of

participation in school-to-work

programs on participating

establishments and the prospects for

making school-to-work partnerships an

integral part of the way the workforce is

developed in the U.S. Primary

Governmental interest in survey results

comes from the Department of

Education’s Office of Educational

Research and Improvement (OERI) and

the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

A sample of employers who reported

participation in school-to-work

programs in the NES III, as well as a

comparable sample of employers who

reported they didn’t, will be asked to

participate in the supplemental

telephone inquiry.

Affected Public: Businesses or other

for-profit organizations.

Frequency: One-time.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,

Sections 8 & 9.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

The Department of Commerce (DOC)

has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

collection of information under

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Agency: National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Title: Certificate of Eligibility for

Atlantic Billfishes.

Agency Form Number: N/A.

OMB Approval Number: 0648–0216.

Type of Request: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Burden: 43 hours.

Avg. Hours Per Response: 20 minutes

for completion of certificate and 2

minutes for recordkeeping.

Number of Respondents: 53

respondents (400 annual responses).

Needs and Uses: Billfishes are

managed under the Atlantic Billfish

Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The

primary objective of the FMP is to

maintain the highest availability of

billfishes to the traditional U.S.

recreational fishery. Under the FMP, the

sale of billfish caught in the

management area is prohibited. To

enforce this prohibition, a billfish in

trade must have a ‘‘Certificate of

Eligibility’’ accompany it so that

enforcement agents will know that it

was not harvested from the Atlantic

Ocean management unit.

Affected Public: Businesses or other

for-profit organizations.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
