(Oregon, North Carolina, and South
Carolina), Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands. To our knowledge, the States
that do have mandatory reporting rarely
exercise their authority. The collection
form’s confidentiality statement cites
the Confidential Information Protection
and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002
and mentions the State mandatory
reporting authority.
Fax is also a significant collection mode,
as 8,000 reports are collected via this
method. Touchtone Data Entry is used
for 7,000 reports.
The balance of the sample is collected
through other methods including
submission of transcripts, emails, and
other special arrangements.
II. Current Action
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,
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the Report
on Current Employment Statistics.
Automated data collection methods
are now used for most of the CES
sample. Approximately 139,000 reports
are received through Electronic Data
Interchange as of February 2017. Web
data collection accounts for 48,000
reports. Computer Assisted Telephone
Interviewing is used to collect 73,000.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
Form
Minutes per

Reports
including the validity of the

• Enhance the quality, utility, and

• Minimize the burden of 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.

(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
reinstatement of the ‘‘Current
Population Survey (CPS) Displaced
Worker, Job Tenure, and Occupational
Mobility Supplement’’ to be conducted
in January 2018 and January 2020. A

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
I. Background
The CPS Displaced Worker, Job
Tenure, and Occupational Mobility
Supplement is conducted biennially
and was last collected in January 2016.
This supplement will gather
information on workers who have lost
or left their jobs because their plant or
company closed or moved, there was
insufficient work for them to do, or their
position or shift was abolished. Data
will be collected on the extent to which
displaced workers received advance
notice of job cutbacks or the closing of
their plant or business. For those
workers who have been reemployed, the
E:\FR\FM\19JNN1.SGM
19JNN1
27876
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 116 / Monday, June 19, 2017 / Notices
supplement will gather data on the
types of jobs they found and will
compare current earnings with those
from the lost job. The incidence and
nature of occupational changes in the
preceding year will be queried. The
survey also probes for the length of time
workers (including those who have not
been displaced) have been with their
current employer. Additional data to be
collected include information on the
receipt of unemployment compensation,
the loss of health insurance coverage,
and the length of time spent without a
job.
Because this supplement is part of the
CPS, the same detailed demographic
information collected in the CPS will be
available on respondents to the
supplement. Comparisons will be
possible across characteristics such as
sex, race and ethnicity, age, and
educational attainment of the
respondent.
The information collected by this
survey will be used to determine the
size and nature of the population
affected by job displacements and the
needs and scope of programs serving
adult displaced workers. It also will be
used to assess employment stability by
determining the length of time workers
have been with their current employer
and estimating the incidence of
occupational change over the course of
a year. Combining the questions on
displacement, job tenure, and
occupational mobility will enable
analysts to obtain a more complete
picture of employment stability.

ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for

AGENCY:
The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory

instructions on what happens to records
when agencies no longer need them for
current Government business. The
records schedules authorize agencies to
preserve records of continuing value in
the National Archives of the United
States and to destroy, after a specified
period, records lacking administrative,
legal, research, or other value. NARA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
for records schedules in which agencies
propose to destroy records they no
longer need to conduct agency business.
NARA invites public comments on such
records schedules.
DATES: NARA must receive requests for
copies in writing by July 19, 2017. Once
NARA finishes appraising the records,
we will send you a copy of the schedule
you requested. We usually prepare
appraisal memoranda that contain
additional information concerning the
records covered by a proposed schedule.
You may also request these. If you do,
we will also provide them once we have
completed the appraisal. You have 30
days after we send to you these
requested documents in which to
submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting Records Appraisal
and Agency Assistance (ACRA) using
one of the following means:
Mail: NARA (ACRA); 8601 Adelphi
Road; College Park, MD 20740–6001.
Email: request.schedule@nara.gov.
FAX: 301–837–3698.
You must cite the control number,
which appears in parentheses after the
name of the agency that submitted the
schedule, and a mailing address. If you
would like an appraisal report, please
include that in your request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
for records schedules they no longer
need to conduct agency business. NARA
invites public comments on such
records schedules, as required by 44
U.S.C. 3303a(a).
Each year, Federal agencies create
billions of records on paper, film,
magnetic tape, and other media. To
control this accumulation, agency
records managers prepare schedules
proposing records retention periods and
submit these schedules for NARA’s
approval. These schedules provide for
