I. Background
The February 2006 CPS Disability
Questions Test will be conducted by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The
Test will gather information on the
disability status of CPS respondents.
The BLS will use the data to assess the
effectiveness of new questions designed
to identify persons with disabilities
within the context of the CPS.
Additionally, the BLS will be able to
evaluate the effect that adding these
questions to the CPS on a monthly basis
will have on that survey’s response
rates. Other groups who may find these
data to be of interest include veterans
groups, educational associations, and
disability advocacy groups.
Because the Disability Questions Test
is part of the CPS, the same detailed
demographic information collected in
the CPS will be available on
respondents to the Test. Data
concerning disabled persons will be
possible across characteristics such as
sex, race, age, and educational
attainment of the respondent.

use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
