DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Bureau of Labor Statistics 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

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 

the ‘‘Job Openings and Labor Turnover 

Survey (BLS–1411).’’ 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 below on or before 

January 9, 2006. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Amy A. 

Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, Division 

of Management Systems, Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2 

Massachusetts Avenue, NE., 

Washington, DC 20212, telephone 

number 202–691–7628. (This is not a 

toll free number.) 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amy A. Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, 

telephone number 202–691–7628. (See 

ADDRESSES section.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 217 / Thursday, November 10, 2005 / Notices 68477 

I. Background 

The Job Openings and Labor Turnover 

Survey (JOLTS) collects data on job 

vacancies, labor hires, and labor 

separations. As the monthly JOLTS time 

series grow longer, their value in 

assessing the business cycle, the 

difficulty that employers have in hiring 

workers, and the extent of the mismatch 

between the unused supply of available 

workers and the unmet demand for 

labor by employers will increase. The 

study of the complex relationship 

between job openings and 

unemployment will be of particular 

interest to researchers. While these two 

measures are expected to move in 

opposite directions over the course of 

the business cycle, their relative levels 

and movements depend on the 

efficiency of the labor market in 

matching workers and jobs. 

Along with the job openings rate, 

trends in hires and separations may 

broadly identify which aggregate 

industries face the tightest labor 

markets. Quits rates, the number of 

persons who quit during an entire 

month as a percentage of total 

employment, may provide clues about 

workers’ views of the labor market or 

their success in finding better jobs. In 

addition, businesses will be able to 

compare their own turnover rates to the 

national, regional, and major industry 

division rates. 

The BLS uses the JOLTS form to 

gather employment, job openings, hires, 

and total separations from business 

establishments. The information is 

collected once a month at the BLS Data 

Collection Center (DCC) in Atlanta, 

Georgia. The information is collected 

using Computer Assisted Telephone 

Interviewing (CATI), Touch-tone Data 

Entry (TDE), FAX, and mail. An 

establishment is in the sample for 24 

consecutive months. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) clearance is being sought for the 

JOLTS. The BLS is requesting an 

extension to the existing clearance for 

the JOLTS. There are no major changes 

being made to the forms, procedures, 

data collection methodology, or other 

aspects of the survey. 

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, 

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, 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.

currently approved collection.

Turnover Survey (BLS–1411).
