# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Job Accommodation Network (JAN) is a leading source of guidance on job accommodations and disability employment issues and has served customers for more than 35 years. JAN provides free one-on-one practical guidance and technical assistance on job accommodation solutions, Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related legislation, and self-employment and entrepreneurship options for people with disabilities. JAN provides individualized consultation to assist:
    - Employers and their representatives seeking guidance on practical ways to engage in the interactive process, provide job accommodation solutions, and comply with Title I of the ADA;
    - Individuals with medical conditions and disabilities seeking information about job accommodation solutions, employment rights under the ADA, and self-employment and entrepreneurship opportunities; and
    - Family members and rehabilitation, medical, educational, and other professionals in their effort to support successful employment outcomes for individuals with medical conditions and disabilities.

JAN customers (employer representatives, service providers, and individuals with disabilities) who contact JAN via phone calls, email, and internet chats and who have inquiries related to workplace accommodation or self-employment issues will be asked to participate in the Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire, which is sent via email. The initial email requesting participation includes the Informed Consent script used by both JAN and the West Virginia University School of Social Work. Informed consent specifies that the purpose is to evaluate JAN's services and to identify ways in which services can be improved to assist clients. Potential participants also will be informed that their decision to either participate or refuse to participate will in no way impact their ability to use JAN's services in the future. Following the link to complete the questionnaire is considered consent. Customers can also opt out of further contacts or choose to contact the evaluator directly if there are questions or concerns. The statement has been approved by the West Virginia University Internal Review Board. The questionnaire requests demographic information, accommodation process details and costs, and general satisfaction items. Respondents can choose to answer or skip each item.

                    This information collection is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid OMB Control Number.                     *See*5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.                

The DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for three (3) years. OMB authorization for an Information Collection Review cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that currently approved information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
