SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Employees’ Compensation Act 

provides workers’ compensation 

coverage to three million federal and 

postal workers around the world for 

employment-related injuries and 

occupational diseases. The Division of 

Federal Employees’ Compensation 

(DFEC) is charged with administering 

the FECA program. To obtain better 

feedback regarding various DFEC 

programs and functions, the DFEC is 

seeking approval to allow contract 

personnel such as Continuation of Pay 

(COP) Nurses, Field Nurses, and 

Rehabilitation Counselors, the 

opportunity to participate and provide 

feedback on DFEC effectiveness. These 

resources play a vital role in assisting 

the DFEC with the mission of returning 

injured employees to gainful 

employment. To this end, DOL seeks 

implementation of three separate 

surveys for this group. These surveys 

may be used on occasion, and a threeyear approval for this new information 

collection is requested. For additional 

information, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 18, 2010 (75 FR 34769). 

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 

a Federal agency generally cannot 

conduct or sponsor a collection of 

information unless it is approved by the 

OMB under the PRA and displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

Furthermore, the public is not required 

to respond to a collection of information

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall be subject to 

penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information if the 

collection of information does not 

display a currently valid OMB control 

number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 

1320.6.

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The National Compensation Survey 

(NCS) is an ongoing survey of earnings 

and benefits among private firms, State, 

and local government. The NCS is 

currently the integration of the 

sampling, collection, and processing for 

the Employment Cost Index (ECI), the 

Employee Benefits Survey (EBS), and 

the Locality Pay Surveys (LPS) into a 

single, unified program of compensation 

statistics. This integration improves data 

for policymakers and researchers, 

reduces respondent burden, improves 

the utilization of BLS resources, and 

enhances the published measures of 

compensation. Data from the integrated 

program include estimates of wages by 

job levels covering broad groups of 

related occupations, and data that 

directly links benefit plan costs with 

detailed plan provisions. The integrated 

program’s single sample also produces 

both time-series indexes and cost levels 

for industry and occupational groups, 

thereby increasing the analytical 

potential of the data. Benefits of the 

integrated sample include: improved 

measures of trends; better integration of 

benefit costs and plan provisions; data 

for narrow occupations; and broad 

regional and occupational coverage. The 

NCS employs probability methods for 

selection of occupations. This ensures 

that sampled occupations represent all 

occupations in the workforce, while 

minimizing the reporting burden on 

respondents. Data from the NCS are 

critical for setting Federal white-collar 

salaries, determining monetary policy 

(as a Principal Federal Economic 

Indicator), and for compensation 

administrators and researchers in the 

private sector. 

The survey collects data from a 

sample of employers. These data will 

consist of information about the duties, 

responsibilities, and compensation 

(earnings and benefits) for a sample of 

occupations for each sampled employer. 

Data will be updated on a quarterly 

basis. The updates will allow for 

production of data on change in 

earnings and total compensation. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for the 

National Compensation Survey. 

The NCS collects earnings and work 

level data on occupations for the nation. 

The NCS also collects information on 

the cost, provisions, and incidence of all 

the major employee benefits through its 

benefit cost and benefit provision 

programs and publications. 

The Administration has proposed 

2011 budget calls for the elimination of 

the Locality Pay Survey (LPS), which is 

the part of the National Compensation 

Survey that provides occupational wage 

data by industry and specific geographic 

areas. The NCS is currently developing 

a new survey design that excludes the 

LPS. Planning and design for these 

changes are ongoing. NCS will
