opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of

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. Currently, the Bureau

comments concerning the proposed
revision of the ‘‘Cognitive and
Psychological Research.’’ A copy of the
proposed information collection request
(ICR) can be obtained by contacting the
individual listed below in the Addresses

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Bureau of Labor Statistics’
Behavioral Science Research Laboratory
(BSRL) conducts theoretical, applied,
and evaluative research aimed at
improving the quality of data collected
and published by the Bureau. Since its
creation in 1988, the BSRL has
advanced the study of survey methods
research, approaching issues of nonsampling error within a framework that
draws heavily on the theories and
methods of the cognitive, statistical, and
social sciences. The BSRL research
focuses primarily on the assessment of
survey instrument design and survey
administration, as well as on issues
related to interviewer training, the
interaction between interviewer and
respondent in the interview process,
and the usability of data-collection
instruments by both interviewers and
respondents. Improvements in these
areas result in better accuracy and
response rates of BLS surveys,
frequently reduce costs in training and
survey administration, and further
ensure the effectiveness of the Bureau’s
overall mission.
II. Current Action
The purpose of this request for
clearance by the BSRL is to conduct
cognitive and psychological research
designed to enhance the quality of the
VerDate Aug<18>2005
15:05 Sep 06, 2005
Jkt 205001
Bureau’s data collection procedures and
overall data management. The BLS is
committed to producing the most
accurate and complete data within the
highest quality assurance guidelines.
The BSRL was created to aid in this
effort and over the past 17 years it has
demonstrated the effectiveness and
value of its approach. Over the next few
years, demand for BSRL consultation is
expected to remain in demand as
approaches are explored and tested for
dealing with increasing nonresponse in
key Bureau surveys. Moreover, as the
use of web-based surveys continues to
grow, so too will the need for careful
tests of instrument design and usability,
human-computer interactions, and the
impact of multiple modes on data
quality. The BSRL is uniquely equipped
with both the skills and facilities to
accommodate these demands.
The revisions in the accompanying
clearance package reflect an attempt to
accommodate the increasing interest by
BLS program offices and other agencies
in the methods used, and the results
obtained, by the BSRL. This package
reflects planned research and
development activities for FY2006
through FY2008, and its approval will
enable the continued productivity of a
state-of-the-art, multi-disciplinary
program of behavioral science research
to improve BLS survey methodology.

Research.

III. Desired Focus of Comments
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,
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 submissions
of responses.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
