AGENCY:
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This

format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed extension of
the ‘‘BLS Data Sharing Program.’’ A
copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the individual listed below
in the Addresses section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before January 31, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Erin
Good, BLS Clearance Officer, Division
of Management Systems, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2
Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington,
DC 20212. Written comments also may
be transmitted by email to BLS_PRA_
Public@bls.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin
Good, BLS Clearance Officer, at 202–
691–7628 (this is not a toll-free
number). (See ADDRESSES section.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
An important aspect of the mission of
the BLS is to disseminate to the public
the maximum amount of information
possible. Not all data are publicly
available because of the importance of
maintaining the confidentiality of BLS
data. However, the BLS has
opportunities available on a limited
basis for eligible researchers to access
confidential data for purposes of
conducting valid statistical analyses that
further the mission of the BLS as
permitted in the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act (CIPSEA).
The BLS makes confidential data
available to eligible researchers through
three major programs:
1. The Census of Fatal Occupational
Injuries (CFOI), as part of the BLS
occupational safety and health statistics
program, compiles a count of all fatal
work injuries occurring in the U.S. in
each calendar year. Multiple sources are
used in order to provide as complete
and accurate information concerning
workplace fatalities as possible. A
research file containing CFOI data is
made available offsite to eligible
researchers.
2. The National Longitudinal Surveys
of Youth (NLSY) is designed to
document the transition from school to
work and into adulthood. The NLSY
collects extensive information about
youths’ labor market behavior and
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
educational experiences over time. The
NLSY includes three different cohorts:
The National Longitudinal Survey of
Youth 1979 (NLSY79), the NLSY79
Young Adult Survey, and the National
Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997
(NLSY97). NLSY data beyond the public
use data are made available in greater
detail through an offsite program to
eligible researchers.
3. The BLS makes available data from
several employment, compensation,
prices, and working conditions surveys
to eligible researchers for onsite use.
Eligible visiting researchers can access
these data in researcher rooms at the
BLS national office in Washington, DC
or at a Federal Statistical Research Data
Center (FSRDC).
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the BLS
Data Sharing Program. In order to
provide access to confidential data, the
BLS must determine that the
researcher’s project will be exclusively
statistical in nature and that the
researcher is eligible based on
guidelines set out in CIPSEA, the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
implementation guidance on CIPSEA,
and BLS policy. This information
collection provides the vehicle through
which the BLS will obtain the necessary
details to ensure all researchers and
projects comply with appropriate laws
and policies.
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.
