Proposed Collection, Comment
Request
ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The National Compensation Survey
(NCS) is an ongoing survey of earnings
and benefits among private firms, State,
and local government. The NCS is
currently the integration of the
sampling, collection, and processing for
the Employment Cost Index (ECI) and
the Employee Benefits Survey (EBS)
into a single, unified program of
compensation statistics. This integration
improves data for policymakers and
researchers, reduces respondent burden,
improves the utilization of BLS
PO 00000
Frm 00120
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
71073
resources, and enhances the published
measures of compensation.
Data from the integrated program
include estimates of wages covering
broad groups of related occupations,
and data that directly link benefit plan
costs with detailed plan provisions. The
integrated program’s single sample also
produces both time-series indexes and
cost levels for industry and
occupational groups, thereby increasing
the analytical potential of the data.
Benefits of the integrated sample
include: Improved measures of trends;
better integration of benefit costs and
plan provisions; data for narrow
occupations; and broad regional and
occupational coverage. The NCS
employs probability methods for
selection of occupations. This ensures
that sampled occupations represent all
occupations in the workforce, while
minimizing the reporting burden on
respondents. Data from the NCS are
used for setting Federal white-collar
salaries, determining monetary policy
(as a Principal Federal Economic
Indicator), and for compensation
administrators and researchers in the
private sector.
The survey collects data from a
sample of employers. These data will
consist of information about the duties,
responsibilities, and compensation
(earnings and benefits) for a sample of
occupations for each sampled employer.
Data will be updated on a quarterly
basis. The updates will allow for
production of data on change in
earnings and total compensation.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
National Compensation Survey.
The NCS collects earnings and work
level data on occupations for the nation.
The NCS also collects information on
the cost, provisions, and incidence of all
the major employee benefits through its
benefit cost and benefit provision
programs and publications.
The Administration’s final approved
budget for fiscal year 2011 called for an
alternative to the Locality Pay Survey
(LPS), which was the part of the
National Compensation Survey that
provides occupational wage data by
industry and specific geographic areas.
The alternative to the LPS uses data
from two current BLS programs—the
Occupational Employment Statistics
(OES) survey and the ECI program. In
this new approach, OES data provides
wage data by occupation and by area,
while ECI data are used to specify grade
level effects. This new approach is also
being used to extend the estimation of
pay gaps to areas that were not included
E:\FR\FM\16NON1.SGM
16NON1
71074
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 221 / Wednesday, November 16, 2011 / Notices
in the LPS and these data have been
delivered to the Pay Agent.
NCS is reverting to a national survey
design in order to preserve the
reliability of the ECI and EBS, after the
loss of the LPS sample. This also
allowed the sample size of the ECI and
EBS programs to be reduced by about 25
percent. Starting in Fiscal Year 2013 the
new NCS private industry sample will
be on a 3 year rotational cycle, which
is a change from the previous 5 years
rotational cycle for private industry
sample members. Sample changes are
reflected in the stated collection and
respondent burden estimates.
The NCS data on benefit costs is used
to produce the ECI and Employer Costs
for Employee Compensation. The data
provided will be the same, and the
series will be continuous.
The NCS will continue to provide
employee benefit provision and
participation data. These data include
estimates of how many workers receive
the various employer-sponsored
benefits. The data also will include
information about the common
provisions of benefit plans.
NCS has modified our collection
forms, to 14 forms (normally having
unique private industry and government
initiation and update collection forms
and versions.) Two forms are unique for
private industry and government sample
members who report data through our
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption
Web site. For NCS update collection, the
forms give respondents their previously
reported information, the dates they
expected change to occur to these data,
and space for reporting these changes.
A second generation version of a Webbased (Internet Data Collection Facility
(IDCF)) data collection system is
currently being field tested. This will
allow survey respondents to easily
further refine and breakout the detailed
data they send NCS using this Web
application.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The National Compensation Survey (NCS) is an ongoing survey of
earnings and benefits among private firms, State, and local government.
The NCS is currently the integration of the sampling, collection, and
processing for the Employment Cost Index (ECI) and the Employee
Benefits Survey (EBS) into a single, unified program of compensation
statistics. This integration improves data for policymakers and
researchers, reduces respondent burden, improves the utilization of BLS
resources, and enhances the published measures of compensation.
Data from the integrated program include estimates of wages
covering broad groups of related occupations, and data that directly
link benefit plan costs with detailed plan provisions. The integrated
program's single sample also produces both time-series indexes and cost
levels for industry and occupational groups, thereby increasing the
analytical potential of the data. Benefits of the integrated sample
include: Improved measures of trends; better integration of benefit
costs and plan provisions; data for narrow occupations; and broad
regional and occupational coverage. The NCS employs probability methods
for selection of occupations. This ensures that sampled occupations
represent all occupations in the workforce, while minimizing the
reporting burden on respondents. Data from the NCS are used for setting
Federal white-collar salaries, determining monetary policy (as a
Principal Federal Economic Indicator), and for compensation
administrators and researchers in the private sector.
The survey collects data from a sample of employers. These data
will consist of information about the duties, responsibilities, and
compensation (earnings and benefits) for a sample of occupations for
each sampled employer.
Data will be updated on a quarterly basis. The updates will allow
for production of data on change in earnings and total compensation.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget clearance is being sought for the
National Compensation Survey.
The NCS collects earnings and work level data on occupations for
the nation. The NCS also collects information on the cost, provisions,
and incidence of all the major employee benefits through its benefit
cost and benefit provision programs and publications.
The Administration's final approved budget for fiscal year 2011
called for an alternative to the Locality Pay Survey (LPS), which was
the part of the National Compensation Survey that provides occupational
wage data by industry and specific geographic areas. The alternative to
the LPS uses data from two current BLS programs--the Occupational
Employment Statistics (OES) survey and the ECI program. In this new
approach, OES data provides wage data by occupation and by area, while
ECI data are used to specify grade level effects. This new approach is
also being used to extend the estimation of pay gaps to areas that were
not included
[[Page 71074]]
in the LPS and these data have been delivered to the Pay Agent.
NCS is reverting to a national survey design in order to preserve
the reliability of the ECI and EBS, after the loss of the LPS sample.
This also allowed the sample size of the ECI and EBS programs to be
reduced by about 25 percent. Starting in Fiscal Year 2013 the new NCS
private industry sample will be on a 3 year rotational cycle, which is
a change from the previous 5 years rotational cycle for private
industry sample members. Sample changes are reflected in the stated
collection and respondent burden estimates.
The NCS data on benefit costs is used to produce the ECI and
Employer Costs for Employee Compensation. The data provided will be the
same, and the series will be continuous.
The NCS will continue to provide employee benefit provision and
participation data. These data include estimates of how many workers
receive the various employer-sponsored benefits. The data also will
include information about the common provisions of benefit plans.
NCS has modified our collection forms, to 14 forms (normally having
unique private industry and government initiation and update collection
forms and versions.) Two forms are unique for private industry and
government sample members who report data through our Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) encryption Web site. For NCS update collection, the forms
give respondents their previously reported information, the dates they
expected change to occur to these data, and space for reporting these
changes.
A second generation version of a Web-based (Internet Data
Collection Facility (IDCF)) data collection system is currently being
field tested. This will allow survey respondents to easily further
refine and breakout the detailed data they send NCS using this Web
application.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is particularly interested in
comments 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
