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 with 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. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed extension of 

‘‘General Inquiries to State Agency 

Contacts.’’ 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 of this notice on or 

before May 26, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 

awards funds to State agencies in the 50 

States, the District of Columbia, Puerto 

Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands, 

hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘States’’) in 

order to jointly conduct BLS/State Labor 

Market Information and Occupational 

Safety and Health Statistics cooperative 

statistical programs, which themselves 

have been approved by OMB separately, 

as follows: 

Current Employment Statistics .................................................................................................................................. 1220–0011 

Local Area Unemployment Statistics ......................................................................................................................... 1220–0017 

Occupational Employment Statistics ......................................................................................................................... 1220–0042 

Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages Report .............................................................................................. 1220–0012 

Annual Refiling Survey .............................................................................................................................................. 1220–0032 

Labor Market Information Cooperative Agreement ................................................................................................... 1220–0079 

Multiple Worksite Report ........................................................................................................................................... 1220–0134 

Mass Layoff Statistics ................................................................................................................................................ 1220–0090 

Annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses .............................................................................................. 1220–0045 

Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries ...................................................................................................................... 1220–0133 

BLS/OSHS Federal State Cooperative Agreement ................................................................................................... 1220–0149 

(This list of BLS/State cooperative 

statistical programs may change over 

time.) 

To ensure the timely flow of data and 

to be able to evaluate and improve the 

programs, it is necessary to conduct 

ongoing communications between the 

BLS and its State partners. Whether 

information requests deal with program 

deliverables, program enhancements, or 

administrative issues, questions and 

dialogue are crucial to the successful 

implementation of these programs. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for the General 

Inquiries to State Agency Contacts. 

Information collected under this 

clearance is used to support the 

administrative and programmatic needs 

of jointly conducted BLS/State Labor 

Market Information and Occupational 

Safety and Health Statistics cooperative 

statistical programs. 

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,
