requirements of work in today’s
economy as crucial to the equitable and
efficient operation of the Social Security
Disability (SSDI) program.
The ORS collects data from a sample
of employers. These requirements of
work data consist of information about
the duties, responsibilities, and critical
job tasks for a sample of occupations for
each sampled employer.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
Occupational Requirements Survey.
The ORS collects data on the
requirements of work, as defined by the
SSA’s disability program:
(1) An indicator of ‘‘time to
proficiency,’’ defined as the amount of
time required by a typical worker to
learn the techniques, acquire the
information, and develop the facility
needed for average job performance,
comparable to the Specific Vocational
Preparation (SVP) used in the
Dictionary of Occupational Titles
(DOT).
(2) Physical Demand characteristics/
factors of occupations, measured in
such a way to support SSA disability
determination needs, comparable to
measures in Appendix C of the Selected
Characteristics of Occupations (SCO).
(3) Environmental Conditions,
measured in such a way to support SSA
disability determination needs,
comparable to measures in Appendix D
of the SCO.
(4) Data elements that describe the
mental and cognitive demands of work.
(5) Occupational task lists of
occupations, defined as the critical job
function and key job tasks, to validate
the reported requirements of work,
comparable to data identified in the
Employment and Training
Administration’s (ETA’s) O*NET
Program.
The ORS data is collected using a
two-stage stratified design and includes
sample cell definitions and allocations
to accommodate the goal to produce
estimates for as many occupations as
possible. Occupations for private
industry establishments are selected
before the sample is fielded.
Occupational selection for government
units generally occurs after
establishment contact. The probability
of an occupation being selected after the
sample is fielded will be proportionate
to its employment within the
establishment.
BLS will disseminate the data from
the ORS on the BLS public website
(www.bls.gov/ors). The design uses a
five-year rotation with complete
estimates published after the full sample
has been collected. Interim results will
be produced and disseminated on an
annual basis.
ORS collection uses several forms
(having unique private industry and
government collection versions). For
those sampled establishments that are in
the current National Compensation
Survey (NCS), ORS uses NCS data and
forms for those data elements that
overlap.
ORS data are defined to balance SSA’s
adjudication needs with the ability of
the respondent to provide data. With
this clearance, BLS is continuing
collection of existing data.
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.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Title of Collection: Occupational
Requirements Survey.
OMB Number: 1220–0189.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit; not-for-profit institutions; and
State, local, and tribal government.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND

Memorandum for the Heads of
Executive Departments and Agencies
January 20, 2021.
FROM: Ronald A. Klain, Assistant to the
President and Chief of Staff.
SUBJECT: Regulatory Freeze Pending
Review.
The President has asked me to
communicate to each of you his plan for
managing the Federal regulatory process
at the outset of his Administration. In
order to ensure that the President’s
appointees or designees have the
opportunity to review any new or
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
pending rules, at the direction of the
President, I ask that you immediately
take the following steps:
1. Subject to any exceptions the
Director of the Office of Management
and Budget (the ‘‘OMB Director’’) allows
for emergency situations or other urgent
circumstances relating to health, safety,
environmental, financial, or national
security matters, or otherwise, propose
or issue no rule in any manner—
including by sending a rule to the Office
of the Federal Register (the ‘‘OFR’’)—
until a department or agency head
appointed or designated by the
President after noon on January 20,
2021, reviews and approves the rule.
The department or agency head may
delegate this power of review and
approval to any other person so
appointed or designated by the
President, consistent with applicable
law.
2. With respect to rules that have been
sent to the OFR but not published in the
Federal Register, immediately withdraw
them from the OFR for review and
approval as described in paragraph 1,
subject to the exceptions described in
paragraph 1. This withdrawal must be
conducted consistent with OFR
procedures.
3. With respect to rules that have been
published in the Federal Register, or
rules that have been issued in any
manner, but have not taken effect,
consider postponing the rules’ effective
dates for 60 days from the date of this
memorandum, consistent with
applicable law and subject to the
exceptions described in paragraph 1, for
the purpose of reviewing any questions
of fact, law, and policy the rules may
raise. For rules postponed in this
manner, during the 60-day period,
where appropriate and consistent with
applicable law, consider opening a 30day comment period to allow interested
parties to provide comments about
issues of fact, law, and policy raised by
those rules, and consider pending
petitions for reconsideration involving
such rules. As appropriate and
consistent with applicable law, and
where necessary to continue to review
these questions of fact, law, and policy,
consider further delaying, or publishing
for notice and comment proposed rules
further delaying, such rules beyond the
60-day period. Following the 60-day
delay in effective date:
a. For those rules that raise no
substantial questions of fact, law, or
policy, no further action needs to be
taken; and
b. for those rules that raise substantial
questions of fact, law, or policy,
agencies should notify the OMB
Director and take further appropriate
PO 00000

action in consultation with the OMB
Director.
4. Exclude from the actions requested
in paragraphs 1 through 3 any rules
subject to statutory or judicial deadlines
and identify such exclusions to the
OMB Director as soon as possible.
5. Notify the OMB Director promptly
of any rules that, in your view, should
be excluded from the directives in
paragraphs 1 through 3 because those
rules affect critical health, safety,
environmental, financial, or national
security matters, or for some other
reason. The OMB Director will review
any such notifications and determine
whether such exclusion is appropriate
under the circumstances.
6. Comply in all circumstances with
any applicable Executive Orders
concerning regulatory management.
As used in this memorandum, ‘‘rule’’
has the definition set forth in section
551(4), title 5, United States Code. It
also includes any ‘‘regulatory action,’’ as
defined in section 3(e) of Executive
Order 12866 of September 30, 1993, as
amended, and any ‘‘guidance
document’’ as defined in section 3(g) of
Executive Order 13422 of January 18,
2007, when that order was in effect.
Thus, the requirements of this
memorandum apply not only to ‘‘rules’’
as defined in section 551(4) of title 5,
but also to:
a. Any substantive action by an
agency (normally published in the
Federal Register) that promulgates or is
expected to lead to the promulgation of
a final rule or regulation, including
notices of inquiry, advance notices of
proposed rulemaking, and notices of
proposed rulemaking; and
b. any agency statement of general
applicability and future effect that sets
forth a policy on a statutory, regulatory,
or technical issue or an interpretation of
a statutory or regulatory issue.
The OMB Director will implement
this regulatory review, and any
communications regarding any matters
pertaining to this review should be
addressed to the OMB Director. The
OMB Director is also authorized to
establish a process to review pending
collections of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, as
codified in chapter 35, title 44, United
States Code, and to take actions that the
OMB Director deems appropriate based
on that review, consistent with
applicable law.
Should actions be identified that were
undertaken before noon on January 20,
2021, to frustrate the purpose
underlying this memorandum, I may
modify or extend this memorandum,
pursuant to the direction of the
President, to request that agency heads
