# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The DOL is seeking OMB reauthorization of the Annual Refiling Survey (ARS) information collection. While the primary purpose of the ARS is to verify or to correct the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to establishments, there are other important purposes of the ARS. The ARS seeks accurate mailing and physical location addresses of establishments as well as geographic codes such as county and township (independent city, parish, or island in some States).

                    The ARS constitutes an information collection within the meaning of the PRA. Under the PRA, a Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it is currently approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB control number. Furthermore, the public is generally not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally 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. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under OMB Control Number 1220-0032. The current OMB approval is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2010. For additional information, see the related notice published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on May 27, 2010 (75 FR 29782).                

                    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in the                     **ADDRESSES**                     section within 30 days of publication of this notice in the                     **Federal Register**                    . In order to ensure the appropriate consideration, comments should reference OMB Control Number 1220-0032. The OMB 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, 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.
