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

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 Annual Refiling Survey (ARS). A 

copy of the proposed information 

collection request (ICR) can be obtained 

by contacting the individual listed

notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice on or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Quarterly Census of Employment 

and Wages (QCEW) program is a 

Federal/State cooperative effort which 

compiles monthly employment data, 

quarterly wages data, and business 

identification information from 

employers subject to State 

Unemployment Insurance (UI) laws. 

These data are collected from State 

Quarterly Contribution Reports (QCRs) 

submitted to State Workforce Agencies 

(SWAs). The States send micro-level 

employment and wages data, 

supplemented with the names, 

addresses, and business identification 

information of these employers, to the 

BLS. The State data are used to create 

the BLS sampling frame, known as the 

longitudinal QCEW data. 

To ensure the continued accuracy of 

these data, the information supplied by 

employers must be periodically verified 

and updated. For this purpose, the 

Annual Refiling Survey (ARS) is used in 

conjunction with the UI tax reporting 

system in each State. The information 

collected on the ARS is used to review 

the existing industry code assigned to 

each establishment as well as the 

physical location of the business 

establishment. As a result, changes in 

the industrial and geographical 

compositions of our economy are 

captured in a timely manner and 

reflected in the BLS statistical programs. 

The ARS also asks employers to 

identify new locations in the State. If 

these employers meet QCEW program 

reporting criteria, then a Multiple 

Worksite Report (MWR) is mailed to the 

employer requesting employment and 

wages for each worksite each quarter. 

Thus, the ARS is also used to identify 

new potential MWR-eligible employers. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for the ARS. 

While the primary purpose of the ARS
