(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork

(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: New collection of

Title: CPS Disability Questions Test.

Type of Response: Reporting.

households. 

Number of Respondents: 21,000.

Description: The Current Population 

Survey (CPS) Disability Questions Test 

will gather information on the disability 

status of CPS respondents. The BLS will 

use the data to assess the effectiveness 

of new questions designed to identify 

persons with disabilities within the 

context of the CPS. Additionally, the 

BLS will be able to evaluate the effect 

that adding these questions to the CPS 

on a monthly basis will have on that 

survey’s response rates. Other groups 

who may find these data to be of interest 

include veterans groups, educational 

associations, and disability advocacy 

groups. 

Because the Disability Questions Test 

is part of the CPS, the same detailed 

demographic information collected in 

the CPS will be available on 

respondents to the Test. Data 

concerning disabled persons will be 

possible across characteristics such as 

sex, race, age, and educational 

attainment of the respondent.
