administered quarterly via a computerassisted-telephone-interview. This
survey is flexible and creates the
possibility of introducing new products
into the CPI in a timely manner. The
data collected in this survey are
necessary for the continuing
construction of a current outlet universe
from which locations are selected for
the price collection needed for
calculating the CPI. Furthermore, the
TPOPS provides the weights used in
selecting the items that are priced at
these establishments. This sample
design produces an overall CPI market
basket that is more reflective of the
prices faced and the establishments
visited by urban consumers.
Pursuant to the terms of the previous
ICR, a cell phone frame was tested in
the third quarter of 2011 and deployed
in the second quarter of 2012. The cell
phone frame was added to address a
coverage issue associated with landline
RDD surveys. According to the National
Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the
percentage of households without
landline service is increasing as cell
phone use becomes more widespread.
Including a cell phone frame allows the
survey to reach households with no
landline service, but with cellular
phone service.
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.
• 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 electronic submissions
of responses.

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. Currently, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics (BLS) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
reinstatement of the ‘‘Current
Population Survey (CPS) Displaced
Worker, Job Tenure, and Occupational
Mobility Supplement’’ to be conducted
in January 2014 and January 2016.
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.

Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2

comments may also be transmitted by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The CPS Displaced Worker, Job
Tenure, and Occupational Mobility
supplement is conducted biennially and
was last collected in January 2012.
This supplement will gather
information on workers who have lost
or left their jobs because their plant or
company closed or moved, there was
insufficient work for them to do, or their
position or shift was abolished. Data
will be collected on the extent to which
displaced workers received advance
notice of job cutbacks or the closing of
their plant or business. For those
workers who have been reemployed, the
supplement will gather data on the
types of jobs they found and will
compare current earnings with those
from the lost job. The incidence and
nature of occupational changes in the
preceding year will be queried. The
survey also probes for the length of time
workers (including those who have not
been displaced) have been with their
current employer. Additional data to be
collected include information on the
receipt of unemployment compensation,
the loss of health insurance coverage,
and the length of time spent without a
job.
Because this supplement is part of the
CPS, the same detailed demographic
information collected in the CPS will be
available on respondents to the
supplement. Comparisons will be
possible across characteristics such as
sex, race and ethnicity, age, and
educational attainment of the
respondent.
The information collected by this
survey will be used to determine the
size and nature of the population
affected by job displacements and the
needs and scope of programs serving
adult displaced workers. It also will be
used to assess employment stability by
determining the length of time workers
have been with their current employer
and estimating the incidence of
occupational change over the course of
a year. Combining the questions on

displacement, job tenure, and
occupational mobility will enable
analysts to obtain a more complete
picture of employment stability.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the CPS
Displaced Worker, Job Tenure, and
Occupational Mobility Supplement to
the CPS. A reinstatement, without
change, of this previously approved
collection, for which approval has
expired, is needed to provide the Nation
with timely information about displaced
workers, job tenure, and occupational
mobility.
