SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Report on Current
Employment Statistics (CES)
information collection. The Congress
has charged the BLS with the
responsibility of collecting and
publishing monthly information on
employment, average wages received,
and the hours worked, by area and by
industry. See 29 U.S.C. 2. The CES
program provides current monthly
statistics on employment, hours, and
earnings, by industry. The statistics are
fundamental inputs in economic
decision processes at all levels of
government, private enterprise, and
PO 00000

organized labor. This information
collection has been classified as a
revision, because the agency has added
additional foreign language versions of
the forms. The BLS Authorizing Statute
authorizes this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 1, 2.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1220–0011. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
November 30, 2017; however, the DOL
notes that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
New requirements would only take
effect upon OMB approval. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
June 19, 2017 (82 FR 27874).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1220–0011. The OMB 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; and
• 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,
