Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 190 / Friday, September 30, 2011 / Notices
resumed in Fiscal Year 1995 with funds
provided by the Employment and
Training Administration (ETA).
Beginning in fiscal year 2004, funding
for the MLS program became part of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics permanent
budget. Also in 2004, the scope of the
MLS program was redefined to cover
only the private nonfarm economy for
extended mass layoffs due to budget
constraints.
At the present time, all states, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands are participating in
the program.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the Mass
Layoff Statistics (MLS) Program.
In addition to the BLS uses of MLS
data, such data are used by Congress,
the Executive Branch, the business,
labor, and academic communities,
SWAs, and the U.S. Department of
Labor for both macro- and
microeconomic analysis, including
specific labor market studies geared
towards manpower assistance and
development. Congress used these data
in conjunction with the findings from a
supplemental study of layoff actions in
the development of the Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification
(WARN) Act, which was enacted in
August 1988.
A Congressionally mandated use of
mass layoff data includes the WIA,
which replaces Title III of the JTPA.
Section 133 of the WIA encourages the
use of MLS data in substate allocations
relating to dislocated worker
employment and training activities.
State agencies use the MLS data in
various ways, including the
identification of geographic areas in
need of special manpower services;
ailing or troubled industries; specific
employers needing assistance; outreach
activities for the unemployed; and
workers in need of temporary health
care services.
There is no other comprehensive
source of statistics on either
establishments or workers affected by
mass layoffs and plant closings;
therefore, none of the aforementioned
data requirements could be fulfilled if
this data collection did not occur.
III. Desired Focus of Comments

Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for
comments.
ACTION:
The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when no longer needed for current
Government business. They authorize
the preservation of records of
continuing value in the National
Archives of the United States and the
destruction, after a specified period, of
records lacking administrative, legal,
research, or other value. Notice is
published for records schedules in
which agencies propose to destroy
records not previously authorized for
disposal or reduce the retention period
of records already authorized for
disposal. NARA invites public
comments on such records schedules, as
required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).
SUMMARY:
PO 00000

Requests for copies must be
received in writing on or before October
31, 2011. Once the appraisal of the
records is completed, NARA will send
a copy of the schedule. NARA staff
usually prepare appraisal
memorandums that contain additional
information concerning the records
covered by a proposed schedule. These,
too, may be requested and will be
provided once the appraisal is
completed. Requesters will be given 30
days to submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting Records
Management Services (ACNR) using one
of the following means:

Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001
E-mail: request.schedule@nara.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year
Federal agencies create billions of
records on paper, film, magnetic tape,
and other media. To control this
accumulation, agency records managers
prepare schedules proposing retention
periods for records and submit these
schedules for NARA’s approval, using
the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for
Records Disposition Authority. These
schedules provide for the timely transfer
into the National Archives of
historically valuable records and
authorize the disposal of all other
records after the agency no longer needs
them to conduct its business. Some
schedules are comprehensive and cover
all the records of an agency or one of its
major subdivisions. Most schedules,
however, cover records of only one
office or program or a few series of
records. Many of these update
previously approved schedules, and
some include records proposed as
permanent.
The schedules listed in this notice are
media neutral unless specified
otherwise. An item in a schedule is
media neutral when the disposition
instructions may be applied to records
regardless of the medium in which the
records are created and maintained.
Items included in schedules submitted
to NARA on or after December 17, 2007,
are media neutral unless the item is
limited to a specific medium. (See 36
CFR 1225.12(e).)
No Federal records are authorized for
destruction without the approval of the
Archivist of the United States. This
approval is granted only after a
thorough consideration of their
administrative use by the agency of
origin, the rights of the Government and
of private persons directly affected by
the Government’s activities, and
whether or not they have historical or
other value.
Besides identifying the Federal
agencies and any subdivisions
requesting disposition authority, this
public notice lists the organizational
unit(s) accumulating the records or
indicates agency-wide applicability in
the case of schedules that cover records
that may be accumulated throughout an
agency. This notice provides the control
number assigned to each schedule, the
total number of schedule items, and the

proposed for destruction). It also
includes a brief description of the
temporary records. The records

memorandum for the schedule, it too
includes information about the records.
