Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The BLS has been charged by 

Congress (29 U.S.C. Sections 1 and 2) 

with the responsibility of collecting and 

publishing monthly information on 

employment, the average wage received, 

and the hours worked by area and 

industry. The process for developing 

residency-based employment and 

unemployment estimates is a 

cooperative Federal-State program 

which uses employment and 

unemployment inputs available in State 

Workforce Agencies. 

The labor force estimates developed 

and issued in this program are used for 

economic analysis and as a tool in the 

implementation of Federal economic 

policy in such areas as employment and 

economic development under the 

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity 

Act of 2014 (that supplanted the 

Workforce Investment Act of 1998) and 

the Public Works and Economic 

Development Act, among others. 

The estimates also are used in 

economic analysis by public agencies 

and private industry, and for State and 

area funding allocations and eligibility 

determinations according to legal and 

administrative requirements. 

Implementation of current policy and 

legislative authorities could not be 

accomplished without collection of the 

data. 

The reports and manual covered by 

this request are integral parts of the 

LAUS program insofar as they ensure 

and measure the timeliness, quality, 

consistency, and adherence to program 

directions of the LAUS estimates and 

related research. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for a revision 

of the information collection request 

that makes up the LAUS program. All 

aspects of the information collection are 

conducted electronically. All data are 

entered directly into BLS-provided 

systems. 

The BLS, as part of its responsibility 

to develop concepts and methods by 

which States prepare estimates under 

the LAUS program, developed a manual 

for use by the States. The manual 

explains the conceptual framework for 

the State and area estimates of 

employment and unemployment, 

specifies the procedures to be used, 

provides input information, and 

discusses the theoretical and empirical 

basis for each procedure. This manual is 

updated on a regular schedule. 

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 continues to 

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. 

Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

Title: Local Area Unemployment 

Statistics (LAUS) Program. 

OMB Number: 1220–0017.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS 

ADMINISTRATION 

[NARA–2018–015] 

Records Schedules; Availability and 

Request for Comments 

AGENCY: National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of 

proposed records schedules; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) 

publishes notice at least once monthly 

of certain Federal agency requests for 

records disposition authority (records 

schedules). Once approved by NARA, 

records schedules provide mandatory 

instructions on what happens to records 

when agencies no longer need them for 

current Government business. The 

records schedules authorize agencies to 

preserve records of continuing value in 

the National Archives of the United 

States and to destroy, after a specified 

period, records lacking administrative, 

legal, research, or other value. NARA 

publishes notice in the Federal Register 

for records schedules in which agencies 

propose to destroy records they no 

longer need to conduct agency business. 

NARA invites public comments on such 

records schedules. 

DATES: NARA must receive requests for 

copies in writing by February 15, 2018. 

Once NARA finishes appraising the 

records, we will send you a copy of the 

schedule you requested. We usually
