of People with Disabilities information
collection to examine employer
perceptions of their efforts to employ
individuals with disabilities. Knowing
this information will enhance the ability
of the ODEP to engage employers on
how to hire, retain, and promote
individuals with disabilities. The ODEP
has the ability to reach out to employers
through its public education campaigns
and technical assistance centers, as well
as engage the business community
directly. Assessing employer attitudes
towards hiring and retaining individuals
with disabilities will increase the
ODEP’s understanding of employer
successes and concerns, as well as more
effectively to share best practices in
hiring, retaining, and promoting
individuals with disabilities. This study
will answer research questions with
regard to current employer practices and
attitudes towards employment of people
with disabilities (disability
employment’); barriers and facilitators
of disability employment; the impact of
accommodations and technology on
employer perceptions and attitudes
towards disability employment; and
sources of disability employmentrelated information for employers.
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2001 section Appendix A–HR 5656
authorizes this information collection.
See Public Law 106–554.
This proposed 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 if the
collection of information does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For
additional information, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register
on May 23, 2017 (82 FR 23607).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES

publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

or incompetence or because the
beneficiary is a minor. The
Representative Payee Report (Form CM–

ensure that benefits paid to a
representative payee are used for the
beneficiary’s well-being. The
Physician’s/Medical Officer’s Statement

beneficiary’s capability to manage
monthly black lung benefits. This

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Telephone Point of Purchase Survey
(TPOPS) information collection. The
BLS administers the survey quarterly
via a computer-assisted-telephoneinterview. This survey is flexible and
creates the possibility of introducing
new products into the CPI in a timely
manner. The data collected in this
survey are necessary for the continuing
construction of a current outlet universe
from which locations are selected for
the price collection needed for
calculating the CPI. Furthermore, the
TPOPS provides the weights used in
selecting the items that are priced at
these establishments. This sample
design produces an overall CPI market
basket that is more reflective of the
prices faced and the establishments
visited by urban consumers. The BLS
Authorizing Statute authorizes this
information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 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 1220–0044. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
March 31, 2018; however, the DOL
notes that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
