SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
I. Background
The Occupational Requirements
Survey (ORS) is a nationwide survey
that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
will conduct at the request of the Social
Security Administration (SSA). The first
three years of data collection and
capture for the ORS will start in 2015
and end in mid-2018.
Estimates produced from the data
collected by the ORS will be used by the
SSA to update occupational
requirements data in administering the
Social Security Disability Insurance
(SSDI) and Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) programs.
The new ORS occupational
information will allow SSA adjudicators
to clearly associate the assessment of a
claimant’s physical and mental
functional capacity and vocational
profile with work requirements. BLS
will compute percentages of workers
with various characteristics, such as
skill and strength level. SSA will use
this information to provide statistical
support for the medical-vocational rules
used at step 5 of sequential evaluation
regarding the number of unskilled jobs
that exist at each level of exertion in the
national economy.
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 Social Security
Disability (SSDI) program. The
information currently available is more
than 20 years old.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:32 Feb 17, 2015
Jkt 235001
The ORS will collect data from a
sample of employers. These
requirements of work data will consist
of information about the duties,
responsibilities, and job tasks for a
sample of occupations for each sampled
employer.
In October 2014, BLS commenced the
collection of a six-month ORS Preproduction test. The goal of the Preproduction test is to test all survey
activities by mirroring production
procedures, processes and protocols as
closely as possible. All ORS data
elements planned for Production are
being collected during the test.
Production activities mirrored in the
Pre-production test include selecting
ORS samples, training staff, conducting
calibration exercises, collecting the data,
conducting all review activities,
calculating estimates and standard
errors, validating the estimates, and
applying publication criteria to the
computed estimates. Data from this test
that meets BLS publication criteria will
be provided to SSA and released in a
research report for the public. However,
due to the sample size of this test, the
BLS only expects to be able to compute
and release data for a very limited
number of occupations or occupational
groups, and these data will not be
suitable for SSA disability
determinations.
BLS received comments on both the
March 24, 2014, 60 day Federal Register
(79 FR 16058) and July 23, 2014, 30 day
Federal Register notice (79 FR 42829)
for the six-month ORS Pre-production
test. To assure that BLS is addressing all
of these comments thoroughly, BLS
consulted with an outside subject matter
expert to gain a better understanding of
occupational requirements data. The
consultant reviewed and analyzed
literature related to the reliability and
validity of occupational requirements
data and provided the BLS with
recommendations for testing reliability
and validity. Given the
recommendations from the subject
matter expert, BLS plans to begin a
review initiative in FY 2015 including
the development of a methodological
guide, evaluation of benchmarks for
data collection, and future testing of
inter-rater reliability. These
recommendations, as well as the
previous refinements of the collection
procedures, the data review process,
and the validation techniques
developed to date will ensure ORS
produces quality occupational data in
the areas of vocational preparation,
mental-cognitive and physical
requirements, and environmental
conditions as the BLS moves into full
production.

II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
Occupational Requirements Survey.
The following data will be collected
during the ORS as defined by the SSA’s
disability program and are data that the
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
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 National
Compensation Survey (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. 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.
BLS will disseminate the data from
the ORS on the BLS public Web site
(www.bls.gov/ors).
The ORS will have two collection
forms (having unique private industry
and government collection forms for
each). For those sampled establishments
that are in the current National
E:\FR\FM\18FEN1.SGM
18FEN1
8698
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 18, 2015 / Notices
Compensation Survey (NCS), ORS 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.
• 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.

OSHA recognition of an NRTL
signifies that the organization meets the
requirements specified by 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within its scope of recognition,
and is not a delegation or grant of
government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use
products properly approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require testing and certification of the
products.
The Agency processes applications by
an NRTL for initial recognition, or for
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the Agency
publish two notices in the Federal
Register in processing an application. In
the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary
finding and, in the second notice, the
Agency provides its final decision on
the application. These notices set forth
the NRTL’s scope of recognition or
