answer questions about what their
specific forensic science priorities are
and how they value each forensic
discipline; whether the Laboratory
Division is servicing these specific
needs; what they perceive as strengths
and weaknesses of the FBI LD, and if
they’ve identified trends in criminal
investigations that a laboratory should
be addressing.

objective evaluation of an applicant’s
past job performance based on
information collected from key
individuals (e.g., supervisors, peers,
subordinates) who have known and
worked with the applicant. Reference
checking is a necessary supplement to
the evaluation of resumes and other
descriptions of training and experience,
and allows the selecting official to hire
applicants with a strong history of
performance. The questions on this form
have been developed following the
OPM, MSPB, and DOJ ‘‘Best Practice’’
guidelines for reference checking.

respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to

necessary to qualify for the waiver of the
additional credit reduction. Further, the
additional credit reduction of section
3302(c)(2)(B) is zero for California and
Virgin Islands for 2017. Therefore,
employers in California and Virgin
Islands will have no additional credit
reduction applied for calendar year
2017.
As a result of having passed eight
consecutive January 1’s with an
outstanding Title XII advances and not
having repaid the balance as of
November 10, 2017, both California and
Virgin Islands are subject to a FUTA
credit reduction of 2.1 percent.

SUMMARY:
Sections 3302(c)(2)(A) and
3302(d)(3) of the FUTA provide that
employers in a State that has an
outstanding balance of advances under
Title XII of the Social Security Act at the
beginning of January 1 of two or more
consecutive years are subject to a
reduction in credits otherwise available
against the FUTA tax for the calendar
year in which the most recent such
January 1 occurs, if a balance of
advances remains at the beginning of
November 10 of that year. Further,
section 3302(c)(2)(C) of FUTA provides
for an additional credit reduction for a
year if a State has outstanding advances
on five or more consecutive January
firsts and has a balance at the beginning
of November 10 for such years. Section
3302(c)(2)(C) also provides for waiver of
this additional credit reduction and
substitution of the credit reduction
provided in section 3302(c)(2)(B) if a
state meets certain conditions.
California and Virgin Islands were
potentially liable for the additional
credit reduction and applied for a
waiver of the 2017 additional credit
reduction under section 3302 (c)(2)(C) of
FUTA. It has been determined that each
one met all of the criteria of that section

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Consumer Expenditure
Surveys: Quarterly Interview and Diary.
The BLS uses the Consumer
Expenditure Surveys to gather
information on expenditures, income,
and other related subjects. The data is
updated periodically in the national
Consumer Price Index. In addition, the
data is used by a variety of researchers
in academia, government agencies, and
the private sector. The data is collected
from a national probability sample of
households designed to represent the
total civilian non-institutional
population. The purpose of this revision
request is to make changes to the two
Consumer Expenditure (CE) Surveys:
The Quarterly Interview Survey (CEQ)
and the Diary Survey (CED) as part of an
ongoing effort to improve data quality,
maintain or increase response rates, and
reduce data collection costs. The Census
Authorizing Statute and BLS
Authorizing Statute authorize this
information collection. See 13 U.S.C. 8b
and 29 U.S.C. 2.
The ICR has been characterized as a
revision for several reasons. More
specifically, three major changes are
proposed for the CED. (1) In an effort to
alleviate burden and improve response
rates, an alternative version of the paper
CED has been developed. The new
version consolidates the four main diary
categories into two, facing, diary pages
so that all expenses for a single day can
be entered without flipping pages. An
effort was also made to reduce the
amount of instructions and examples so
that respondents are not confused or
intimidated. (2) The earliest placement
date and last placement date restrictions
for the Diary will be removed allowing
