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. Agency: Office of Disability Employment Policy.

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): $54,270. Total Burden Cost (operating/ maintaining): $575,254. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the development of ODEP’s programs and policies. John R. Davey, Director. [FR Doc.
