SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLS
Behavioral Science Research Center
(BSRC) conducts theoretical, applied,
and evaluative research aimed at
improving the quality of data collected
and published by the Bureau. Since its
creation in 1988, the BSRC has
advanced the study of survey methods
research, approaching issues of nonsampling error within a framework that
draws heavily on the theories and
methods of the cognitive, statistical, and
social sciences. The BSRC research
focuses primarily on the assessment of
survey instrument design and survey
administration, as well as on issues
related to interviewer training, the
interaction between interviewer and
respondent in the interview process,
and the usability of data-collection
instruments by both interviewers and
respondents. Improvements in these
areas result in greater accuracy and
response rates of BLS surveys,
frequently reduce costs in training and
survey administration, and further
ensure the effectiveness of the Bureau’s
overall mission. clearance by the BSRC
is to conduct cognitive and
psychological research designed to
enhance the quality of the Bureau’s data
collection procedures and overall data
management.
The BLS is committed to producing
the most accurate and complete data
within the highest quality assurance
guidelines. The BSRC was created to aid
in this effort and it has demonstrated
the effectiveness and value of its
approach. As the use of web-based
surveys continues to grow, so too will
the need for careful tests of instrument
design and usability, human-computer
interactions, and the impact of multiple
modes on data quality. The BSRC is
uniquely equipped with both the skills
and facilities to accommodate these
demands.
The extension of this information
collection reflects an attempt to
accommodate the increasing interest by
BLS program offices and other agencies
in the methods used and the results

obtained by the BSRC. This extension
also reflects planned research and
development activities for FY2021
through FY2023. The collection’s
approval will enable the continued
productivity of a state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary program of behavioral
science research to improve BLS survey
methodology.
For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on October 9, 2020 (85 FR
