SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Federal Excess Personal
Property (FEPP) and Firefighter Property
(FFP) Program Administration.
OMB Number: 0596–0223.
Type of Request: Extension without
Revision.
Abstract: Federal Excess Personal
Property (FEPP) and Firefighter Property
(FFP) Program Cooperative Agreements
are available to State forestry agencies.
The program administration provides
participating State agencies with
surplus Department of Defense and
other Federal agencies equipment and
supplies to be used in firefighting and
emergency services. The FEPP program
loans property to the State who in turn
sub-loans the equipment and supplies to
fire departments. The FFP program
transfers ownership of many types of
property to either the State agency or
the individual fire department.
A cooperative agreement collects
information from the participating State
agencies and outlines the requirements
and rules for the cooperation. Each State
forestry agency shall provide an
Accountable Officer who will be
responsible for the integrity of the
program within their respective State.
For this reason, FEPP and FFP collects
the state forestry agency contact
information, the information of the
Accountable Officer, and the
requirements of participation in the
FEPP and FFP programs.
A cooperative agreement is prepared
by each State forestry agency that
desires to participate in one, or both
programs. Participating State agencies
must submit separate agreements if they
desire to be participants in both
programs. Agreements will be processed
and maintained at the United States
Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service, Fire and Aviation Management,
Landscapes and Partnerships Assistant
Director area and in each Forest Service
Regional Office.
Since the FEPP property belongs to
the Forest Service, the agency inventory
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

system facilitates reporting by state
agencies to the Forest Service on the
status and location of the property. State
agencies use the electronic database
(Federal Excess Property Management
Information System or FEPMIS) to
submit information regarding the
property make, model, serial number,
acquisition value, location, and
acquisition date when an item is
acquired or no longer needed. Forest
Service property management
technicians will collect the information
from FEPMIS and enter it into the
National Finance Center database
(CPAIS–PP), as required by Federal
Property Management Regulations.
Forest Service property management
officers will analyze the data collected
to ensure that the property
accountability is accurate, and no
misuse of property is occurring.
The authority to loan surplus supplies
to state agencies comes from the Federal
Property and Administration Services
Act of 1949, 40 U.S.C. and grants the
authority for the FEPP program.
Authority to donate excess supplies
comes from 10 U.S.C., Subtitle A, Part
IV, Chapter 153, 2576b which grants the
authority for the FFP program.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 hour
and 2 minutes.
Type of Respondents: State Foresters
and State Agency FEPP property
managers.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 65.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 302.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 570 hours.
Comment is Invited:
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical or
scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
I. Abstract
Census Bureau
A 21st century statistical system must
provide information about the dynamic
economy quickly, using data assets
efficiently while minimizing the burden
of collecting and providing data and
fully preserving confidentiality. The
Census Bureau’s Longitudinal
Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD)
data infrastructure has demonstrated the
power and usefulness of linking
multiple business and employee data
sets with state-of-the-art confidentiality
protections to build a longitudinal
national frame of jobs.
LEHD supports the Department of
Commerce plan to improve American
competitiveness and measures of
innovation. It provides federal, state,
and local policymakers and planners,
businesses, private sector decision
makers, and Congress with
comprehensive and timely national,
state, and local information on the
dynamic nature of employers and
employees.
LEHD significantly reduces the
overall effort for the generation of its
quarterly data product by:
• Leveraging existing federal
administrative and state data.
• Avoiding costs required to expand
existing surveys to collect the
information directly.
• Reducing respondent burden by
limiting the number of required
resources to just the owners of the
required data.
LEHD is a result of the Local
Employment Dynamics (LED)
Partnership. The LED Partnership is a
partnership between the US Census
Bureau and the Labor Market
Information (LMI) agencies from 50
states, the District of Columbia, and the
territories of Puerto Rico, Guam and the
U.S. Virgin Islands. This partnership
supports the development, promotion,
and distribution of the following publicuse data products:
• Quarterly Workforce Indicators
(QWI)—LEHD’s flagship data product is
the Quarterly Workforce Indicators
(QWI) which provides 32 statistical
indicators on employment, job creation
and destruction, accessions (hires and
recalls), and separations (e.g., exits and
layoffs). These statistics are released for
Agency Information Collection
Activities; Submission to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Longitudinal EmployerHousehold Dynamics (LEHD)
Census Bureau, Commerce.
Notice of information collection,
request for comment.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of
Commerce, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to comment on
proposed, and continuing information
collections, which helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. The purpose of this
notice is to allow for 60 days of public
comment on the proposed extension of
the Longitudinal Employer-Household
Dynamics data collection, prior to the
submission of the information collection
request (ICR) to OMB for approval.
DATES: To ensure consideration,
comments regarding this proposed
information collection must be received
on or before November 24, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments by
mail to PRAcomments@doc.gov. Please
reference OMB Control Number 0607–
1001 in the subject line of your
comments. You may also submit
comments, identified by Docket Number

the following by-groups for all quarters
for which data are available for each
partner state:
Æ County, metropolitan, and
workforce development area.
Æ Age, sex, race, and ethnicity
categories.
Æ Business characteristics (i.e.,
detailed industry ownership type, firm
age, firm size).
• LEHD Origin Destination
Employment Statistics (LODES)—
LODES data provide detailed spatial
distributions of workers’ employment
and residential locations and the
relation between the two at the Census
Block level. LODES also provides
characteristic detail on age, earnings,
industry distributions, and other
worker/business characteristics.
• Job-to-Job Flows (J2J)—Job-to-Job
Flows (J2J) is a set of statistics on job
mobility in the United States
constructed by the LEHD program. J2J
include statistics on: (1) The job-to-job
transition rate, (2) hires and separations
to and from employment, (3) earnings
changes due to job change, and (4)
characteristics of origin and destination
jobs for job-to-job transitions. These
statistics are available at the national,
state, and metropolitan area levels and
by worker and firm characteristics.
• Post-Secondary Employment
Outcomes (PSEO)—Post-Secondary
Employment Outcomes (PSEO) is an
experimental set of statistics on the
earnings and employment outcomes of
graduates of select post-secondary
institutions in the United States, and is
constructed using data from LEHD.
Earnings Outcomes reports earnings by
institution, degree field, degree level
and graduation cohort for 1, 5 and 10
years after graduation. Employment
Flows tabulations provide the
destination industry and geography of
employment for graduates of an
institution by degree level, degree field,
and graduation cohort, for one, five, and
10 years after graduation. A limited
number of institutions are available as
part of the pilot release, but future
updates will include additional postsecondary institutions.
These data products highlight state
and local labor market dynamics that
cannot be learned from other statistical
sources and are therefore used in many
different arenas. For example, the QWI
can be used as local-labor-market
controls in regression analysis; to
identify long-term trends; to provide
local context in performance
evaluations; and for a host of other
applications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) and Firefighter
Property (FFP) Program Administration.
OMB Number: 0596-0223.
Type of Request: Extension without Revision.
Abstract: Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) and Firefighter
Property (FFP) Program Cooperative Agreements are available to State
forestry agencies. The program administration provides participating
State agencies with surplus Department of Defense and other Federal
agencies equipment and supplies to be used in firefighting and
emergency services. The FEPP program loans property to the State who in
turn sub-loans the equipment and supplies to fire departments. The FFP
program transfers ownership of many types of property to either the
State agency or the individual fire department.
A cooperative agreement collects information from the participating
State agencies and outlines the requirements and rules for the
cooperation. Each State forestry agency shall provide an Accountable
Officer who will be responsible for the integrity of the program within
their respective State. For this reason, FEPP and FFP collects the
state forestry agency contact information, the information of the
Accountable Officer, and the requirements of participation in the FEPP
and FFP programs.
A cooperative agreement is prepared by each State forestry agency
that desires to participate in one, or both programs. Participating
State agencies must submit separate agreements if they desire to be
participants in both programs. Agreements will be processed and
maintained at the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service, Fire and Aviation Management, Landscapes and Partnerships
Assistant Director area and in each Forest Service Regional Office.
Since the FEPP property belongs to the Forest Service, the agency
inventory system facilitates reporting by state agencies to the Forest
Service on the status and location of the property. State agencies use
the electronic database (Federal Excess Property Management Information
System or FEPMIS) to submit information regarding the property make,
model, serial number, acquisition value, location, and acquisition date
when an item is acquired or no longer needed. Forest Service property
management technicians will collect the information from FEPMIS and
enter it into the National Finance Center database (CPAIS-PP), as
required by Federal Property Management Regulations. Forest Service
property management officers will analyze the data collected to ensure
that the property accountability is accurate, and no misuse of property
is occurring.
The authority to loan surplus supplies to state agencies comes from
the Federal Property and Administration Services Act of 1949, 40 U.S.C.
and grants the authority for the FEPP program. Authority to donate
excess supplies comes from 10 U.S.C., Subtitle A, Part IV, Chapter 153,
2576b which grants the authority for the FFP program.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 hour and 2 minutes.
Type of Respondents: State Foresters and State Agency FEPP property
managers.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 65.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 302.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 570 hours.
