This ICR
contains policies and application and
reporting procedures for State and local
entities, to enable them to access funds
for National Emergency Grant (NEG)
programs. A NEG is a discretionary
grant intended to complement the
resources and service capacity at the
State and local area levels, by providing
supplemental funding for workforce
development and employment services
and other adjustment assistance for
dislocated workers and other eligible
individuals as defined in Workforce
Investment Act sections 101, 134, and
173 and in the Trade Act, as amended
by the Trade and Globalization
Assistance Act of 2009.
This ICR has been classified as a
revision, because a number of changes
are being proposed. Specifically, the
previous submission inadvertently
included a Trade Adjustment Assistance
Certification Report. The report is not a
form generated by the NEG program. In
addition, changes are being proposed for
several forms covered by the ICR. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 29, 2013 (78 FR 32277).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA

and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1205–0439. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on July
31, 2013; however, it should be noted
that existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. New
requirements would only take effect
upon OMB approval.
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section on or before August 30, 2013. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control Number 1205–
0439. The OMB 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; and
• 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 electronic submission of
responses.

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
concerning the proposed request for a
new OMB control number for the
‘‘Eating and Health Supplement to the
American Time Use Survey.’’ A copy of
the proposed information collection
request (ICR) can be obtained by
contacting the individual listed below
in the Addresses section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The American Time Use Survey
(ATUS) is the Nation’s first federally
administered, continuous survey on
time use in the United States. It
measures, for example, time spent with
children, working, sleeping, or doing
leisure activities. In the United States,
several existing Federal surveys collect
income and wage data for individuals
and families, and analysts often use
such measures of material prosperity as
proxies for quality of life. Time-use data
substantially augment these quality-oflife measures. The data also can be used
in conjunction with wage data to
evaluate the contribution of non-market
work to national economies. This
enables comparisons of production
between nations that have different
mixes of market and non-market
activities.
The ATUS is used to develop
nationally representative estimates of
how people spend their time. This is
done by collecting a time diary about
the activities survey respondents did
over a 24-hour period ‘‘yesterday,’’ from
4 a.m. on the day before the interview
until 4 a.m. on the day of the interview.
In the one-time interview, respondents
also report who was with them during
the activities, where they were, how
long each activity lasted, and if they
were paid. All of this information has
numerous practical applications for
sociologists, economists, educators,
government policymakers,
businesspersons, health researchers, and
others.
Time use data allows researchers to
analyze the choices people make in how
they spend their time, along with the
time and income constraints they face.
The data from the proposed Eating and
Health module supplement can be used
for research on the inter-relations and
inter-associations of time use patterns
and body mass index (BMI), food
assistance participation, grocery
shopping, and meal preparation. These
