Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden,

conducts a pre-clearance consultation

program to provide the general public

and Federal agencies an opportunity to

comment on proposed and/or

continuing collections of information in

accordance with the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program

helps to ensure that requested data can

be provided in the desired format,

reporting burden (time and financial

resources) is minimized, collection

instruments are clearly understood, and

the impact of collection requirements on

respondents can be properly assessed.

Currently, the Bureau of Labor Statistics

(BLS) is soliciting comments concerning

the proposed revision of the ‘‘BLS

Occupational Safety and Health

Statistics Federal/State Cooperative

Agreement (Application Package).’’

A copy of the proposed information

collection request (ICR) can be obtained

by contacting the individual listed

below in the addresses section of this

notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

addresses section below on or before

September 4, 1998. The Bureau of Labor

Statistics is particularly interested in

comments which:

• 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 submissions

of responses.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Karin G.

Kurz, BLS Clearance Officer, Division of

Management Systems, Bureau of Labor

Statistics, Room 3255, 2 Massachusetts

Avenue, NE, Washington, D.C. 20212.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Secretary of Labor has delegated

to the BLS the authority to collect,

compile and analyze statistical data on

work-related injuries and illnesses. The

Cooperative Agreement is designed to

allow the BLS to ensure conformance

with program objectives. The BLS has

full authority over the financial

operations of the statistical program.

The BLS requires financial reporting

that will produce the information that is

needed to monitor the financial

activities of the BLS Occupational

Safety and Health Statistics grantees.

II. Current Actions

Continued collection of grantee

financial information is necessary to

maintain an effective program of

collection, compilation and analysis of

occupational safety and health statistics,

as authorized by the Occupational

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L.

91–596). The burden estimates are based

on actual experience of grantees

competing the forms. Public comments

on the accuracy of the burden estimates,

as well as suggestions for reducing the

burden, are encouraged.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Current Population Survey (CPS)

has been the principal source of the

official Government Statistics on

employment and unemployment for

over 50 years. Labor force data are

collected through the CPS under

authority of Title 29, United States

Code, Sections 1 and 2. Since the mid1980’s, there has been a growing belief

among labor market researchers that

employers require greater flexibility in

their use of labor. As a result, many

workers find themselves in ‘‘contingent

jobs’’ that are structured to last for only

a limited duration or in alternative

employment arrangements such as

independent contracting, on-call work,

and working through temporary help

agencies or contract companies. It is

feared that workers with such

employment may have little job

security, low pay, and no fringe

benefits. This CPS supplement would

provide objective information about

‘‘contingent work.’’

II. Current Actions

The contingent work supplement

provides information on the number

and characteristics of workers in

contingent jobs, that is, jobs which are

structured to last only a limited period

of time. The survey also provides

information about workers in several

alternative employment arrangements,

including those working as independent

contractors and on-call workers, as well

as those working through temporary

help agencies or contract companies.

Type of Review: Reinstatement, with

change, of previously approved

collection for which approval has

expired.

Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Title: Contingent Work Supplement to

the Current Population Survey.

OMB Number: 1220–0153.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Total Respondents: 48,000.

Frequency: One-time only.

Total Responses: 48,000.

Average Time Per Response: 8

minutes.

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 6,400

hours.

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):

$0.

Total Burden Cost (operating/

maintenance): $0.

this notice will be summarized and/or
