SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The National Longitudinal Survey of
Youth 1979 (NLSY79) is a
representative national sample of
persons who were born in the years
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
1957 to 1964 and lived in the U.S. in
1978. These respondents were ages 14 to
22 when the first round of interviews
began in 1979; they will be ages 47 to
56 when the planned twenty-fifth round
of interviews is conducted in 2012 and
2013. The NLSY79 was conducted
annually from 1979 to 1994 and has
been conducted biennially since 1994.
The longitudinal focus of this survey
requires information to be collected
from the same individuals over many
years in order to trace their education,
training, work experience, fertility,
income, and program participation.
In addition to the main NLSY79, the
biological children of female NLSY79
respondents have been surveyed since
1986. A battery of child cognitive, socioemotional, and physiological
assessments has been administered
biennially since 1986 to NLSY79
mothers and their children. Starting in
1994, children who had reached age 15
by December 31 of the survey year (the
Young Adults) were interviewed about
their work experiences, training,
schooling, health, fertility, self-esteem,
and other topics. Funding for the
NLSY79 Child and Young Adult surveys
is provided by the Eunice Kennedy
Shriver National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development
through an interagency agreement with
the BLS and through a grant awarded to
researchers at the Ohio State University
Center for Human Resource Research
(CHRR). The interagency agreement
funds data collection for children and
young adults up to age 20. The grant
funds data collection for young adults
age 21 and older. The BLS contracts
with the National Opinion Research
Center (NORC) at the University of
Chicago to conduct the NLSY79 and
associated Child and Young Adult
surveys.
One of the goals of the Department of
Labor (DOL) is to produce and
disseminate timely, accurate, and
relevant information about the U.S.
labor force. The BLS contributes to this
goal by gathering information about the
labor force and labor market and
disseminating it to policymakers and
the public so that participants in those
markets can make more informed, and
thus more efficient, choices. Research
based on the NLSY79 contributes to the
formation of national policy in the areas
of education, training, employment
programs, and school-to-work
transitions. In addition to the reports
that the BLS produces based on data
from the NLSY79, members of the
academic community publish articles
and reports based on NLSY79 data for
the DOL and other funding agencies. To
date, more than 1,800 articles examining
E:\FR\FM\08DEN1.SGM
08DEN1
76765
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 236 / Thursday, December 8, 2011 / Notices
NLSY79 data have been published in
scholarly journals. The survey design
provides data gathered from the same
respondents over time to form the only
data set that contains this type of
information for this important
population group. Without the
collection of these data, an accurate
longitudinal data set could not be
provided to researchers and
policymakers, thus adversely affecting
the DOL’s ability to perform its policyand report-making activities.
II. Current Action
The BLS seeks approval to conduct
round 25 of the NLSY79 and the
associated surveys of biological children
of female NLSY79 respondents. The
NLSY79 Child Survey involves three
components:
• The Mother Supplement is
administered to female NLSY79
respondents who live with biological
children under age 15. This
questionnaire will be administered to
about 560 women, who will be asked a
series of questions about each child
under age 15. On average, these women
each have 1.12 children under age 15,
for a total of approximately 630
children.
• The Child Supplement involves
aptitude testing of about 615 children
under age 15.
• The Child Self-Administered
Questionnaire is administered to
approximately 490 children ages 10 to
14.
The Young Adult Survey will be
administered to young adults age 15 and
older who are the biological children of
female NLSY79 respondents. These
young adults will be contacted
regardless of whether they reside with
their mothers. Members of the Young
Adult sample are contacted for
interviews every other round once they
reach age 30. The NLSY79 Young Adult
Survey involves two components:
• Interviews with approximately
1,390 young adults ages 15 to 20.
• Interviews with approximately
4,530 young adults age 21 and older.
During the field period, about 200
main NLSY79 interviews will be
validated to ascertain whether the
interview took place as the interviewer
reported and whether the interview was
done in a polite and professional
manner.
The round 25 questionnaire reflects a
number of content changes
recommended by experts in various
social science fields. The round 25 main
NLSY79 questionnaire introduces three
new questions on childhood health and
four new questions on childhood
adversity to be asked of all respondents
at the end of the health section. The
questions on childhood health ask
respondents for an overall rating of their
childhood health and whether they had
significant hospitalizations or illnesses
as children. The rationale for including
these questions is that early-childhood
health experiences may help to predict
adult health outcomes. The four
questions on childhood adversity ask
respondents whether they were raised
in environments characterized by
mental illness, alcoholism, physical
violence, and parental affection. These
questions have been found in other
surveys to predict obesity and other
adult health outcomes. The round 25
questionnaire includes a set of eight
questions designed to identify
respondents who have experienced a
serious head injury or suffered a loss of
smell. Traumatic head injury and loss of
smell have been linked to subsequent
dementia, and these questions will
augment other measures of cognitive
functioning already collected in the
NLSY79. The round 25 questionnaire
includes new questions on wills, trusts,

1 The
number of respondents for the Mother Supplement (560) is less than the number of responses (630) because mothers are asked to provide separate responses for each of the biological children with whom they reside. The total number of responses for the Mother Supplement
(630) is more than the number for the Child Supplement (615) because the number of children completing the Child Supplement is lower due to
age restrictions and nonresponse.
2 The total number of 14,185 respondents across all the survey instruments is a mutually exclusive count that does not include: (1) the 200 reinterview respondents, who were previously counted among the 7,550 main survey respondents, (2) the 560 Mother Supplement respondents,

I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA
95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce, to the maximum extent feasible,
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The Standard specifies a number of
paperwork requirements. The following
is a brief description of the collection of
information requirements contained in
the Vinyl Chloride (VC) Standard.
(A) Exposure Monitoring (§ 1910.1017(d)
and § 1910.1017(n))
Paragraph 1910.1017(d)(2) requires
employers to conduct exposure
monitoring at least quarterly if the
results show that worker exposures are
above the permissible exposure limit
(PEL), while those exposed at or above
the action level (AL) must be monitored
no less than semiannually. Paragraph
(d)(3) requires that employers perform
additional monitoring whenever there
has been a change in VC production,
processes or control that may result in
an increase in the release of VC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) is a
representative national sample of persons who were born in the years
1957 to 1964 and lived in the U.S. in 1978. These respondents were ages
14 to 22 when the first round of interviews began in 1979; they will be
ages 47 to 56 when the planned twenty-fifth round of interviews is
conducted in 2012 and 2013. The NLSY79 was conducted annually from 1979
to 1994 and has been conducted biennially since 1994. The longitudinal
focus of this survey requires information to be collected from the same
individuals over many years in order to trace their education,
training, work experience, fertility, income, and program
participation.
In addition to the main NLSY79, the biological children of female
NLSY79 respondents have been surveyed since 1986. A battery of child
cognitive, socio-emotional, and physiological assessments has been
administered biennially since 1986 to NLSY79 mothers and their
children. Starting in 1994, children who had reached age 15 by December
31 of the survey year (the Young Adults) were interviewed about their
work experiences, training, schooling, health, fertility, self-esteem,
and other topics. Funding for the NLSY79 Child and Young Adult surveys
is provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development through an interagency agreement with the
BLS and through a grant awarded to researchers at the Ohio State
University Center for Human Resource Research (CHRR). The interagency
agreement funds data collection for children and young adults up to age
20. The grant funds data collection for young adults age 21 and older.
The BLS contracts with the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at
the University of Chicago to conduct the NLSY79 and associated Child
and Young Adult surveys.
One of the goals of the Department of Labor (DOL) is to produce and
disseminate timely, accurate, and relevant information about the U.S.
labor force. The BLS contributes to this goal by gathering information
about the labor force and labor market and disseminating it to
policymakers and the public so that participants in those markets can
make more informed, and thus more efficient, choices. Research based on
the NLSY79 contributes to the formation of national policy in the areas
of education, training, employment programs, and school-to-work
transitions. In addition to the reports that the BLS produces based on
data from the NLSY79, members of the academic community publish
articles and reports based on NLSY79 data for the DOL and other funding
agencies. To date, more than 1,800 articles examining
[[Page 76765]]
NLSY79 data have been published in scholarly journals. The survey
design provides data gathered from the same respondents over time to
form the only data set that contains this type of information for this
important population group. Without the collection of these data, an
accurate longitudinal data set could not be provided to researchers and
policymakers, thus adversely affecting the DOL's ability to perform its
policy- and report-making activities.
II. Current Action
The BLS seeks approval to conduct round 25 of the NLSY79 and the
associated surveys of biological children of female NLSY79 respondents.
The NLSY79 Child Survey involves three components:
The Mother Supplement is administered to female NLSY79
respondents who live with biological children under age 15. This
questionnaire will be administered to about 560 women, who will be
asked a series of questions about each child under age 15. On average,
these women each have 1.12 children under age 15, for a total of
approximately 630 children.
The Child Supplement involves aptitude testing of about
615 children under age 15.
The Child Self-Administered Questionnaire is administered
to approximately 490 children ages 10 to 14.
The Young Adult Survey will be administered to young adults age 15
and older who are the biological children of female NLSY79 respondents.
These young adults will be contacted regardless of whether they reside
with their mothers. Members of the Young Adult sample are contacted for
interviews every other round once they reach age 30. The NLSY79 Young
Adult Survey involves two components:
Interviews with approximately 1,390 young adults ages 15
to 20.
Interviews with approximately 4,530 young adults age 21
and older.
During the field period, about 200 main NLSY79 interviews will be
validated to ascertain whether the interview took place as the
interviewer reported and whether the interview was done in a polite and
professional manner.
The round 25 questionnaire reflects a number of content changes
recommended by experts in various social science fields. The round 25
main NLSY79 questionnaire introduces three new questions on childhood
health and four new questions on childhood adversity to be asked of all
respondents at the end of the health section. The questions on
childhood health ask respondents for an overall rating of their
childhood health and whether they had significant hospitalizations or
illnesses as children. The rationale for including these questions is
that early-childhood health experiences may help to predict adult
health outcomes. The four questions on childhood adversity ask
respondents whether they were raised in environments characterized by
mental illness, alcoholism, physical violence, and parental affection.
These questions have been found in other surveys to predict obesity and
other adult health outcomes. The round 25 questionnaire includes a set
of eight questions designed to identify respondents who have
experienced a serious head injury or suffered a loss of smell.
Traumatic head injury and loss of smell have been linked to subsequent
dementia, and these questions will augment other measures of cognitive
functioning already collected in the NLSY79. The round 25 questionnaire
includes new questions on wills, trusts, and long-term care insurance.
Round 25 includes questions on financial literacy and practices, which
ask respondents about their preparedness for financial emergencies,
their ability to monitor financial matters, and their knowledge of
financial concepts. Round 25 also includes questions about assets,
which have been asked in several previous rounds of the NLSY79, most
recently in round 23.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The BLS 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.
Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected.
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

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The number of respondents for the Mother Supplement (560) is less than the number of responses (630) because
mothers are asked to provide separate responses for each of the biological children with whom they reside. The
total number of responses for the Mother Supplement (630) is more than the number for the Child Supplement
(615) because the number of children completing the Child Supplement is lower due to age restrictions and
nonresponse.
\2\ The total number of 14,185 respondents across all the survey instruments is a mutually exclusive count that
does not include: (1) the 200 reinterview respondents, who were previously counted among the 7,550 main survey
respondents, (2) the 560 Mother Supplement respondents, who were previously counted among the main survey
respondents, and (3) the 490 Child SAQ respondents, who were previously counted among the 615 Child Supplement
respondents.
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.
