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)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Job Openings and Labor
Turnover Survey (JOLTS). JOLTS
collects data on job vacancies, labor
hires, and labor separations. The data
can be used as demand-side indicators
of labor shortages. These indicators of
labor shortages at the national level
greatly enhance policy makers’
understanding of imbalances between
the demand and supply of labor.
Presently there is no other economic
indicator of labor demand with which to
assess the presence of labor shortages in
the U.S. labor market. The availability of
unfilled jobs is an important measure of
tightness of job markets, symmetrical to
unemployment measures. 29 U.S.C.
Chapter 1 part 2 authorizes 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 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 1220–
0170. The current approval is scheduled
to expire on September 30, 2021. New
requirements would only take effect
upon OMB approval. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,

Federal Register on July 31, 2019 (84 FR

assist the agency in determining
whether to adopt a new online delivery
model for OSHA’s Outreach Training
Program. The OSHA Outreach Training
Program is a hazard awareness training
program that educates participants on
the recognition, abatement, and
prevention of job-related hazards in the
construction, general, and maritime
industries, and at disaster sites. The
potential new model would be limited
to OSHA’s 10- and 30-hour Outreach
courses for the construction, general,
and maritime industries. The new
model would not include the disaster
site worker training program. OSHA
plans to use the information collected
from this request to determine whether
the new model would address issues
associated with the existing model. If
the new model were implemented, the
agency would develop policies and
procedures for the online Outreach
Training Program courses to ensure that
online providers meet OSHA’s
expectations for program quality and
consistency.
