interview a few weeks after the initial 

interview. The purpose of the validation 

interview is to verify that the initial 

interview took place as the interviewer 

reported and to assess the data quality 

of selected questionnaire items. 

The BLS proposes to record randomly 

selected segments of the main 

interviews during round 13. Recording 

interviews helps the BLS and NORC to 

ensure that the interviews actually took 

place and that interviewers are reading 

the questions exactly as worded and 

entering the responses properly. 

Recording also helps to identify parts of 

the interview that might be causing 

problems or misunderstanding for 

interviewers or respondents. Each 

respondent will be informed that the 

interview may be recorded for quality 

control, training, and research purposes. 

If the respondent objects to the 

recording of the interview, the 

interviewer will confirm to the 

respondent that the interview will not 

be recorded and then proceed with the 

interview. 

During round 13, the BLS proposes to 

administer a noninterview respondent 

questionnaire to sample members who 

have missed at least 5 consecutive 

rounds and who do not complete the 

round 13 interview on first approach. 

Responses to this questionnaire will 

enable the BLS and NORC to learn more 

about long-term nonrespondents and 

therefore understand attrition patterns 

and any nonresponse bias. Other 

changes in round 13 include collecting 

permission forms from respondents to 

obtain their college transcripts. 

Permission forms will be sought from 

respondents who have received a high 

school diploma or General Education 

Development (GED) credential or 

completed coursework in a 

postsecondary degree program. 

Collection of permission forms is 

contingent on available funding. 

The round 13 questionnaire includes 

questions on workplace injuries and 

illnesses and on exercise activity, diet 

and nutrition, and oral health. The 

questionnaire also includes additional 

questions on days of work missed due 

to emotional or mental health problems. 

Respondents who report serving on 

active military duty will be asked a 

series of questions on their military 

service. Military veterans also will be 

asked about their experience with 

programs designed to help service 

members make the transition from 

military to civilian life. 

III. Desired Focus of Comments 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics 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. 

• 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. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection.

The difference between the total number of respondents and the total number of responses reflects the fact that about 6,311 are expected to 

complete the main interview and the college transcript release form. In addition, about 147 respondents will be interviewed twice, once in the 

main survey and a second time in the 4-minute validation interview.

$0. 

Total Burden Cost (operating/ 

maintenance): $0. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for Office of

information collection request; they also 

will become a matter of public record.
