Data Users Advisory Committee; Notice of Meeting and Agenda, 16059-16060 [2014-06377]

Download as PDF 16059 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 56 / Monday, March 24, 2014 / Notices needed for average job performance, comparable to the Specific Vocational Preparation (SVP) used in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT). (2) Physical Demand characteristics/ factors of occupations, measured in such a way to support SSA disability determination needs, comparable to measures in Appendix C of the Selected Characteristics of Occupations (SCO). (3) Environmental Conditions, measured in such a way to support SSA disability determination needs, comparable to measures in Appendix D of the SCO. (4) Data elements that describe the mental and cognitive demands of work. (5) Occupational Task lists data as identified in the Employment and Training Administration’s (ETA’s) O*Net Program in order to validate the key tasks common across establishments and identify other tasks commonly performed. Some data needed for ORS are currently collected by BLS’s NCS. The ORS data will be collected with the same methodology as data collected for NCS. The general establishment data collected on establishments in the survey samples will be the same for ORS and NCS. The Probability Selection of Occupations (PSO) methodology—a disaggregating technique for selecting individual items from a large number of items—will also be used by both ORS and NCS. For ORS and NCS, these items are employees, occupations, divisions, or sub-units depending upon the application of the sampling procedure being used. Wages (earnings) are elements of the ORS data already collected by the NCS. The work level of jobs data (factor evaluation method with four factors to evaluate the work level) methodology will also be used in the ORS survey, as it is currently in NCS. The ORS Test Time Schedule calls for data collection to go from September 2014 to March 2015. BLS will disseminate the ORS test results in September 2015. The ORS Test will have 8 collection forms (having unique private industry and government collection forms). For those sampled establishments that are in the current NCS, the ORS survey will use NCS data and forms for those data elements that overlap. 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. Total respondents per form Form • 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.
