Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection. Title: Veterans Supplement to the CPS. OMB Number: 1220–0102. Frequency: Biennially. Affected Public: Individuals or household. Type of Response: Reporting. Number of Respondents: 12,000. Number of Annual Responses: 12,000. Estimated Time per Response: 2 minutes. Total Burden Hours: 400. Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: 0. Total Annual Costs: 0 (operating/ maintaining systems or purchasing services). Description: The purpose of this request for review is for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to obtain clearance for the Veterans Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS), scheduled to be conducted in August 2007. The proposed supplement questions concerning veterans are shown in Attachment A. As part of the CPS, the supplement will survey individuals ages 17 and over from a nationally representative sample of approximately 60,000 U.S. households. The Veterans supplement is cosponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS). The August 2007 Veterans supplement will provide information on the labor force status of veterans with service-connected disabilities, combat veterans, National Guard and Reserve veterans, and recently discharged veterans. The supplement will also provide data on veterans’ participation in various employment and training programs. These data also will be used by the Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to determine policies that better meet the needs of our Nation’s veteran population. Of current concern is the scope of the problems of veterans as well as the effectiveness of veterans’ benefit programs in meeting their needs. The CPS demographic and labor force data provide a comprehensive picture that is invaluable in planning Federal programs and formulating policy. Legislation is regularly proposed in Congress concerning veterans; these proposals often use BLS data. Veterans service organizations, as well as academic researchers, use the data to VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:59 Jun 05, 2007 Jkt 211001 analyze the employment status of various groups of veterans. We expect that approximately 12,000 veterans will participate in the survey. Ira L. Mills, Departmental Clearance Officer/Team Leader. [FR Doc.
