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 are ages 49 to 58 as
of December 31, 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.
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:43 Mar 25, 2014
Jkt 232001
and reports based on NLSY79 data for
the DOL and other funding agencies. To
date, more than 2,332 articles examining
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 26 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 285 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 320
children.
• The Child Supplement involves
aptitude testing of about 315 children
under age 15.
• The Child Self-Administered
Questionnaire is administered to
approximately 275 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 interviews with
approximately 5,730 young adults ages
15 and older.
During the field period, about 10 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 26 questionnaire includes
a new section on Educational
Expenditures, as well as several
personality inventory and locus-ofcontrol scales. A new module on
Educational Expenditures, which asks
about spending on private secondary
schools and college has been added for
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
16829
Round 26. All respondents (male and
female) with children in the Young
Adult age range (turning 15 sometime
during the 2014 survey year) are asked
a series of questions about each of those
children. By collecting data on how
much respondents spent on each child’s
secondary and post-secondary
schooling, we hope to inform this area
of research that examines whether
parents invest in their children (via
secondary and postsecondary
educational expenditures). Eight
questions on Expectations are included
in Round 26 and are designed to elicit
respondents’ ‘‘subjective probabilities’’
about outcomes related to retirement,
inheritances, life expectancy, and
health. Each question asks respondents
to report a number between zero and
100 that represents their assessment of
the likelihood of the outcome.
These questions have been added to
expand our efforts to learn about
respondents’ plans for retirement and
expectations about the future. The Ten
Item Personality Inventory (TIPI10) has
also been added for Round 26. Using a
scale from 1–7, respondents are asked to
judge how much they agree that pairs of
words representing personality
characteristics apply to them. The
personality characteristics are the socalled ‘‘Big Five’’ traits
(conscientiousness, agreeableness,
neuroticism, openness to new ideas, and
extroversion) that are widely used by
psychologists based on evidence that a
minimum of five factors is needed to
describe individuals’ personalities. The
Rotter Locus of Control, first asked of
respondents in 1979, returns in Round
26. The measure of ‘‘locus of control’’ or
self-efficacy obtained by this scale has
been widely used by researchers, many
of whom have asked us to re-field the
scale to determine how individuals’
locus of control has changed over time.
The final addition to Round 26 is the
inclusion of an Overall Life Satisfaction
module. Respondents are asked their
overall level of satisfaction or
dissatisfaction with their lives on a scale
from 1–7.
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.
E:\FR\FM\26MRN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 58 / Wednesday, March 26, 2014 / Notices
• 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.
Type of Review: Reinstatement, with
change, of a previously approved
collection for which approval has
expired.

1 The
number of respondents for the Mother Supplement (285) is less than the number of responses (320) 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
(320) is more than the number for the Child Supplement (315) because the number of children completing the Child Supplement is lower due to
age restrictions and nonresponse.
2 The total number of 13,445 respondents across all the survey instruments is a mutually exclusive count that does not include: (1) The 10 reinterview respondents, who were previously counted among the 7,300 main survey respondents, (2) the 285 Mother Supplement respondents,
who were previously counted among the main survey respondents, and (3) the 275 Child SAQ respondents, who were previously counted
among the 285 Child Supplement respondents.

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 are
ages 49 to 58 as of December 31, 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.
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 2,332 articles examining 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 26 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 285 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 320 children.
The Child Supplement involves aptitude testing of about
315 children under age 15.
The Child Self-Administered Questionnaire is administered
to approximately 275 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 interviews with approximately 5,730 young adults
ages 15 and older.
During the field period, about 10 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 26 questionnaire includes a new section on Educational
Expenditures, as well as several personality inventory and locus-of-
control scales. A new module on Educational Expenditures, which asks
about spending on private secondary schools and college has been added
for Round 26. All respondents (male and female) with children in the
Young Adult age range (turning 15 sometime during the 2014 survey year)
are asked a series of questions about each of those children. By
collecting data on how much respondents spent on each child's secondary
and post-secondary schooling, we hope to inform this area of research
that examines whether parents invest in their children (via secondary
and postsecondary educational expenditures). Eight questions on
Expectations are included in Round 26 and are designed to elicit
respondents' ``subjective probabilities'' about outcomes related to
retirement, inheritances, life expectancy, and health. Each question
asks respondents to report a number between zero and 100 that
represents their assessment of the likelihood of the outcome.
These questions have been added to expand our efforts to learn
about respondents' plans for retirement and expectations about the
future. The Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI10) has also been added
for Round 26. Using a scale from 1-7, respondents are asked to judge
how much they agree that pairs of words representing personality
characteristics apply to them. The personality characteristics are the
so-called ``Big Five'' traits (conscientiousness, agreeableness,
neuroticism, openness to new ideas, and extroversion) that are widely
used by psychologists based on evidence that a minimum of five factors
is needed to describe individuals' personalities. The Rotter Locus of
Control, first asked of respondents in 1979, returns in Round 26. The
measure of ``locus of control'' or self-efficacy obtained by this scale
has been widely used by researchers, many of whom have asked us to re-
field the scale to determine how individuals' locus of control has
changed over time.
The final addition to Round 26 is the inclusion of an Overall Life
Satisfaction module. Respondents are asked their overall level of
satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their lives on a scale from 1-7.
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.
[[Page 16830]]
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.

\1\ The number of respondents for the Mother Supplement (285) is less than the number of responses (320) 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 (320) is more than the number for the Child Supplement
(315) because the number of children completing the Child Supplement is lower due to age restrictions and
nonresponse.
\2\ The total number of 13,445 respondents across all the survey instruments is a mutually exclusive count that
does not include: (1) The 10 reinterview respondents, who were previously counted among the 7,300 main survey
respondents, (2) the 285 Mother Supplement respondents, who were previously counted among the main survey
respondents, and (3) the 275 Child SAQ respondents, who were previously counted among the 285 Child Supplement
respondents.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): $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.
