FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nora Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer, at 202–691–7628 (this is not a toll free number.) (See Addresses section.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Occupational Requirements Survey (ORS) is a nationwide test survey that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will conduct at the request of the Social Security Administration (SSA). BLS will evaluate ORS survey processes and operations in a production environment. Data collection and capture will run for approximately six months and will conclude in FY 2015. A full evaluation of the data elements captured for this test will be followed by an evaluation of the processes, survey design, and other test program elements. Estimates produced from the test data collected by this ORS Test will be used by the SSA to determine how to use updated requirements data in administering the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program but will not be used to resolve any determination cases. The Social Security Administration, Members of Congress, and representatives of the disability community have all identified collection of updated information on the requirements of work in today’s economy as crucial to the equitable and efficient operation of the SSDI program. The information currently available is more than 20 years old. The ORS will collect data from a sample of employers. These requirements of work data will consist of information about the duties, responsibilities, job tasks and earnings for a sample of occupations for each sampled employer. This is a one-time ORS test for sampled establishments. II. Current Action Office of Management and Budget clearance is being sought for the Occupational Requirements Survey Test. The following data will be collected in this ORS test as defined by the SSA’s disability program and is data that the National Compensation Survey (NCS) does not currently collect: (1) An indicator of ‘‘time to proficiency,’’ defined as the amount of time required by a typical worker to learn the techniques, acquire the information, and develop the facility E:\FR\FM\24MRN1.SGM 24MRN1
