exceed $10,000. Written notices are
currently submitted to the OFCCP by
fax, mail, or email; however, the new
form will allow respondents to submit
the notifications on the agency’s website
through the proposed Notification of
Construction Contract Award Portal. In
addition, this ICR would incorporate
information collections that are
currently approved under the ICRs titled
‘‘Government Contractors, Prohibitions
Against Pay Secrecy Policies and
Actions’’ (Control Number 1250–0008)
and ‘‘Prohibiting Discrimination Based
on Sexual Orientation and Gender
Identity by Contractors and
Subcontractors’’ (Control Number 1250–
0009). The merger of the collections will
place related equal employment
requirements for covered Federal
construction contractors under master
clearances.
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 1250–0001. 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 September 25, 2017
(82 FR 44663).
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
1250–0001. 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

ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95). This program helps to ensure
that requested data can be provided in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements on respondents
can be properly assessed. The Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension of the ‘‘Job Openings and

(ICR) can be obtained by contacting the
individual listed below in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section below on or before
June 11, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Erin
Good, BLS Clearance Officer, Division
of Management Systems, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Job Openings and Labor Turnover
Survey (JOLTS) collects data on job
vacancies, labor hires, and labor
separations. As the monthly JOLTS time
series grow longer, their value in
assessing the business cycle, the
difficulty that employers have in hiring
workers, and the extent of the mismatch
between the unused supply of available
workers and the unmet demand for
labor by employers will increase. The
study of the complex relationship
between job openings and
unemployment is of particular interest
to researchers. While these two
measures are expected to move in
opposite directions over the course of
the business cycle, their relative levels
and movements depend on the
efficiency of the labor market in
matching workers and jobs.
Along with the job openings rate,
trends in hires and separations may
broadly identify which aggregate
industries face the tightest labor
markets. Quits rates, the number of
persons who quit during an entire
month as a percentage of total
employment, may provide clues about
workers’ views of the labor market or
their success in finding better jobs. In
addition, businesses will be able to
compare their own turnover rates to the
national, regional, and major industry
division rates.
The BLS uses the JOLTS form to
gather employment, job openings, hires,
and total separations from business
establishments. The information is
collected once a month at the BLS Data
Collection Center (DCC) in Atlanta,
Georgia. The information is collected
using Computer Assisted Telephone
Interviewing (CATI), Web, email, and

FAX. An establishment is in the sample
for 24 consecutive months.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the JOLTS.
The BLS is requesting an extension to
the existing clearance for the JOLTS.
There are no major changes being made
to the forms, procedures, data collection
methodology, or other aspects of the
survey.
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.
