DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Office of the Secretary 

Submission for OMB Review: 

Comment Request 

September 14, 2005. 

The Department of Labor (DOL) has 

submitted the following public 

information collection request (ICR) to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 

44 U.S.C. chapter 35). A copy of this 

ICR, with applicable supporting 

documentation, may be obtained by 

contacting Darrin King on 202–693–

4129 (this is not a toll-free number) or 

e-mail: king.darrin@dol.gov. 

Comments should be sent to Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the Bureau 

of Labor Statistics (BLS), Office of 

Management and Budget, Room 10235, 

Washington, DC 20503, 202–395–7316 

(this is not a toll-free number), within 

30 days from the date of this publication 

in the Federal Register. 

The OMB 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 submission of 

responses. 

Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement, 

without change, of a previously 

approved collection. 

Title: Displaced Worker, Job Tenure, 

and Occupational Mobility Supplement 

to CPS. 

OMB Number: 1220–0104. 

Type of Response: Reporting. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Biennially. 

Number of Respondents: 55,000. 

Annual Responses: 55,000. 

Average Response Time: 8 minutes. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 

7,333. 

Total Annualized capital/startup 

costs: $0. 

Total Annual Costs (operating/ 

maintaining systems or purchasing 

services): $0. 

Description: This supplement will 

gather information on workers who have 

lost or left their jobs because their plant 

or company closed or moved, there was 

insufficient work for them to do, or their 

position or shift was abolished. For 

those workers who have been 

reemployed, the survey will gather data 

on the types of jobs they found and will 

compare current earnings with those 

from the lost job. This will assist in 

developing training programs that will 

provide other displaced workers with 

the skills necessary to adjust to the 

changing economic environment. 

The incidence and nature of 

occupational changes in the preceding 

year will be queried. The survey also 

will obtain information on the length of 

time workers (including those who have 

not been displaced) have been with 

their current employer. Tenure data are 

used to calculate displacement rates for 

long-tenured workers so that 

comparisons can be made over time and 

among different worker groups. 

Additional data to be collected include 

information on the receipt of 

unemployment compensation, the loss 

of health insurance coverage, and the 

length of time spent without a job. In 

combination, these supplemental data 

will provide the information needed to 

assess the economic hardship 

experienced by displaced workers. 

The information collected by this 

survey will be used to determine the 

size and nature of the population 

affected by job displacements and the 

need for and necessary scope of 

programs serving adult displaced 

workers. It will also be used to assess 

employment stability by determining 

the length of time workers have been 

with their current employer and 

estimating the incidence of occupational 

change over the course of a year. 

Combining the questions on 

displacement, job tenure, and 

occupational mobility will enable 

analysts to obtain a more complete 

picture of employment stability.

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. The Employment and 

Training Administration (ETA) is 

soliciting comments on the 

establishment of a reporting and 

recordkeeping system to support 

implementation of the Prisoner Reentry
