Network (EARN) survey: Survey of
Employer Perspectives on the
Employment of People with Disabilities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Employer Assistance Referral
Network (EARN) is a nationwide service
designed to provide employers with a
technical, educational, and
informational resource to simplify and
encourage the hiring of qualified
workers. Historically, disability
programs required employers to do
much of the work in the finding and
hiring of people with disabilities. The
Office of Disability Employment Policy
(ODEP) of the Department of Labor has
designed EARN to alleviate these
barriers and do much of the work for the
employer.
EARN is a service from the Office of
Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) of
the Department of Labor. This referral
service links employers with providers
who refer appropriate candidates with
disabilities. The service is provided by
means of a nationwide toll-free Call
Center.
EARN is a service of the Office of
Disability Employment Policy which
was established pursuant to section
1(a)(1) of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2001 (Pub. L. 106–
554) H.R. 5656, see Title I,
‘‘Departmental Management’’) 29 U.S.C.
551 et seq.; 5 U.S.C. 301.
This service, and the data collection
component is authorized pursuant to
Pub. L. 106–554 which direct the Office
E:\FR\FM\05MRN1.SGM
05MRN1
9780
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 42 / Monday, March 5, 2007 / Notices
of Disability Policy to provide initiatives
such as EARN to ‘‘further the objective
of eliminating employment barriers to
the training and employment of people
with disabilities’’.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
The Department is particularly
interested in comments which:
• Evaluate whether the 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
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.
III. Current Action
This proposed collection ICR covers:
The Survey of Employer Perspectives on
the Employment of People With
Disabilities. The survey will build on
the findings of previous employer
surveys, with an emphasis on current
attitudes and practices of employers in
12 industry sectors, including some
high growth industries as projected by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
ODEP is also interested in
understanding employers’ perspectives
about disability employment by
company size and the particular type of
the employer (e.g. Executive, Human
Resources, Equal Employment
Opportunity, front line supervisor or
manager). The survey will be conducted
by telephone by a survey firm utilizing
computer assisted telephone
interviewing (CATI) capability. The
survey will also solicit free-text
comments from employers regarding the
employment of people with disabilities.

Description: The survey is designed to
collect data on employers’ perspectives
on the employment of people with
disabilities. ODEP plans to use the data
to formulate targeted strategies and
policies for increasing the employment
of persons with disabilities. Various
industry sectors provide opportunities
to increase the employment of persons
with disabilities. ODEP would like to be
able to make comparisons among the
industry sectors, including high growth
industries. This survey entails
conducting a 20-minute telephone
survey of a representative sample of
senior executives representing 12
industries by company size [small (5–
249 employees), medium (250–499
employees), and large companies (500
or more employees)]. Westat will
conduct interviews with 3,600
respondents. The survey will utilize a
stratified random sample design. Larger
companies will be over sampled, but all
companies will be selected with equal
probability within each stratum. The
domains of the population of interest for
the survey are based on company size
classes within the major industry
sectors. The size classes are small,
medium, and large. The size classes will
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:17 Mar 02, 2007
Jkt 211001
be based on the number of employees of
the company. A uniform set of size class
boundaries can be used for all industry
sectors, e.g., small (5–249 employees),
medium (250–499 employees), and large
companies (500 or more employees).
However, size distribution of the
companies may vary considerably
across the major industry sectors.
Consequently, optimal size strata
boundaries can differ across the
industries substantially. There are a
total of 36 (three size classes within 12
sectors) domains of interest.
The research team will describe the
concerns employers have about the
employment of persons with
disabilities, and how ODEP’s policies
can help employers address those
concerns. The survey will also provide
information on steps employers have
taken to recruit and hire persons with
disabilities, as well as retain and
promote those employees. The survey
will inform disability employment
policy and practice by comparing
perspectives of senior executives in
firms of varying size and industry
sectors, including some of the fastest
growing industries in the United States.
In addition, the results will also inform

the development of ODEP’s programs
and policies.
