collection request (ICR) can be obtained
by contacting the individual listed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The CPS has been the principal
source of the official Government
statistics on employment and
unemployment since 1940 (70 years).
Collection of labor force data through
the CPS is necessary to meet the
requirements in Title 29, United States
Code, Sections 1 and 2. The Veterans
Supplement provides information on
the labor force status of veterans with a
service-connected disability, combat
veterans, past or present National Guard
and Reserve members, and recently
VerDate Nov<24>2008

discharged veterans. Also, Afghanistan,
Iraq, and Vietnam veterans are
identified by theater of service. Data are
provided by period of service and a
range of demographic characteristics.
The supplement also provides
information on veterans’ participation
in various transition and employment
and training programs. The data
collected through this supplement will
be used by the Veterans Employment
and Training Service and the
Department of Veterans Affairs to
determine policies that better meet the
needs of our Nation’s veteran
population.
Total Respondents: 11,000.
Frequency: Annually.
Total Responses: 11,000.
Average Time Per Response:
Approximately 2 minutes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 367
hours.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
$0.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): $0.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they also
will become a matter of public record.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
Veterans Supplement to the CPS. A
reinstatement, with change, of this
previously approved collection, for
which approval has expired, is needed
to provide the Nation with timely
information about the labor force status
of veterans with a service-connected
disability, combat veterans, past or
present National Guard and Reserve
members, recently discharged veterans,
and veterans who have served in
Afghanistan, Iraq, or Vietnam.

January 2010.

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

collection of information on those who
