SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the American Time Use Survey. The ATUS is the Nation’s only SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00096 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 federally administered, continuous survey on time use in the United States. It measures, for example, time spent with children, working, providing eldercare, sleeping or doing leisure activities. In the United States, several existing Federal surveys collect income and wage data for individuals and families, and analysts often use such measures of material prosperity as proxies for quality of life. Time-use data substantially augment these quality-oflife measures. The data also can be used in conjunction with wage data to evaluate the contribution of non-market work to national economies. This enables comparisons of production between nations that have different mixes of market and non-market activities. The ATUS supports the mission of the Bureau of Labor Statistics by providing data on when, where, and how much employed Americans work. Individuals aged 15 and up are selected from a nationally representative sample of approximately 2,060 sample households each month for the ATUS. There are no changes to the ATUS interview. However, BLS is requesting approval for an incentive study during the extension period: BLS is proposing a study to test the effectiveness of using $0, $5, and $10 cash incentives on survey response. The study will test the effectiveness of using cash incentives instead of a prepaid debit card. It will also test whether a $5 or $10 cash incentive can boost survey response among certain underrepresented populations. 29 U.S.C. 1 and 13 U.S.C. 8 authorize this information collection. 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 1220–0175. The current approval is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2019; 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.

SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00097 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the Standard Job Corps Contractor and Grantee Information Gathering. These operating and/or reporting forms are standard for the operation of a Job Corps Center. They are Federal information collection requirements for operators of such centers. Job Corps has automated the following Employment and Training Administration (ETA) forms: 2110, 2181, 6–131A, 6–131B, 6–131C, 640, 661, and 328. This ICR covers standard operating and/or reporting forms a Job Corps Center uses. This information collection is a revision, because this ICR includes an additional collection form for demonstration grants and an additional form determined to be a part of this collection. The Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA), Section 116(b)(2)(A)(i), Section 159(c), and Section 156(a) authorizes this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 3195, 3201 and 3209. 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 the OMB, under the PRA, approves it 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 1205– 0219. The current approval is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2019; however, the DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB will receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take effect upon OMB approval.
