elevated baseline has been established
to aid in reaching recovery objectives for
the Owens pupfish with the intent to
create and maintain a self-sustaining
population of the Owens pupfish at the
enrolled property. The applicant must
maintain baseline on the enrolled
property in order to receive coverage
regarding incidental take of Owens
pupfish. The agreement and requested
permit would allow the applicant to
return the enrolled property to baseline
conditions for habitat, and to the
elevated baseline for the Owens pupfish
population, after the end of the term of
the agreement and prior to the
expiration of the 10-year permit, if so
desired by the applicant.
Public Review and Comments
The Service has made a preliminary
determination that the proposed
agreement and permit application are
eligible for categorical exclusion under
the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
We explain the basis for this
determination in an Environmental
Action Statement, which also is
available for public review.
Individuals wishing copies of the
permit application, copies of our draft
Environmental Action Statement, and
copies of the agreement, including a
map of the proposed permit area, should
contact the Ventura Fish and Wildlife
Office (see ADDRESSES).
If you wish to comment on the permit
application or the agreement, you may
submit your comments to one of the
addresses listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. Comments
and materials received, including names
and addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review, by
appointment, during normal business
hours at the address in the ADDRESSES
section above and will become part of
the public record, under section 10(c) of
the Act.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
We will evaluate this permit
application, associated documents, and
comments we receive to determine
whether the permit application meets
the requirements of section 10(a) of the
Act and NEPA regulations. If we
determine that the requirements are

met, we will sign the proposed
agreement and issue an enhancement of
survival permit under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Act to the applicant
for take of the Owens pupfish incidental
to otherwise lawful activities in
accordance with the terms of the
agreement. We will not make our final
decision until after the end of the 30day comment period and will fully
consider all comments we receive
during the comment period.
The Service provides this notice
under section 10(c) of the Act and under
implementing regulations for NEPA (40
CFR 1506.6).

ACTION:
Notice.
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 revision of the
‘‘Current Population Survey (CPS).’’ 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
September 15, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The CPS has been the principal
source of the official Government
statistics on employment and
unemployment for over 70 years. The
labor force information gathered
through the survey is of paramount
importance in keeping track of the
economic health of the Nation. The
survey is the only source of monthly
data on total employment and
unemployment. The Employment
Situation news release contains data
from this survey and is designated as a
Principal Federal Economic Indicator
(PFEI). Moreover, the survey also yields
data on the characteristics of persons
not in the labor force. The CPS data are
used monthly, in conjunction with data
from other sources, to analyze the extent
to which, and with what success, the
various components of the American
population are participating in the
economic life of the Nation.
The labor force data gathered through
the CPS are provided to users in the
greatest detail possible, in conjunction
with the demographic information
obtained in the survey. In brief, the
labor force data can be broken down by
sex, age, race, ethnicity, marital status,
family composition, educational level,
disability status, and other
characteristics. Through such
breakdowns, one can focus on the
employment situation of specific
population groups as well as on general
trends in employment and
unemployment. Information of this type
can be obtained only through
demographically oriented surveys such
as the CPS.
The basic CPS data also are used as
an important platform on which to base
the data derived from the various
supplemental questions that are
administered in conjunction with the
survey. By coupling the basic data from
the monthly survey with the special
data from the supplements, one can get
valuable insights on the behavior of
American workers and on the social and
economic health of their families.
There is wide interest in the monthly
CPS data among Government
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
policymakers, legislators, economists,
the media, and the general public.
While the data from the CPS are used in
conjunction with data from other
surveys in assessing the economic
health of the Nation, they are unique in
various ways. Specifically, they are the
basis for much of the monthly
Employment Situation report, a PFEI.
They provide a monthly, nationally
representative measure of total
employment, including farm work, selfemployment, and unpaid family work;
other surveys are generally restricted to
the nonagricultural wage and salary
sector, or provide less timely
information. The CPS provides data on
all job seekers, and on all persons
outside the labor force, while payrollbased surveys cannot, by definition,
cover these sectors of the population.
Finally, the CPS data on employment,
unemployment, and on persons not in
the labor force can be linked to the
demographic characteristics of the many
groups that make up the Nation’s
population, while the data from most
other surveys are devoid of
demographic information. Many groups,
both in the government and in the
private sector, are eager to analyze this
wealth of demographic and labor force
data.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the Current
Population Survey (CPS). A revision of
a currently approved collection is
needed to provide the Nation with
timely information about the labor force
status of the population. The CPS
questionnaire has been revised to add
three questions on certification/
licensure and remove three questions on
educational attainment to avoid
increasing the cost of the CPS and to
limit the increase in respondent burden.
These proposed changes would be
permanent changes to the survey.
Certification/licensure is a topic that
aligns closely with the CPS goal of
collecting information about factors that
impact labor market success, and it is a
topic of interest to researchers and
policy makers. The three additional
questions will identify whether
respondents have a currently active
professional certification or license;
whether any of those credentials were
issued by the Federal, State, or local
government; and whether the credential
is required for an individual’s main job.
The three educational attainment
items that are proposed for removal
were added in 1996 to enable
researchers to construct a measure of
continuous years of education. (There
were seven educational attainment
