SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval
under the PRA. We may not conduct or
sponsor, and you are not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this 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) How the agency might minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Occupational Employment and
Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey is a
Federal/State establishment survey of
wage and salary workers designed to
produce data on current detailed
occupational employment and wages for
each Metropolitan Statistical Area and
Metropolitan Division as well as by
detailed industry classification. OEWS
survey data assist in the development of
employment and training programs
established by the Perkins Vocational
Education Act and the Wagner-Peyser
Act.
The OEWS program operates a
periodic mail survey of a sample of nonfarm establishments conducted by all
fifty States, the District of Columbia,
Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. Over three-year periods, data on
occupational employment and wages
are collected by industry at the fourand five-digit North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) levels.
The Department of Labor uses OES data
in the administration of the Foreign
Labor Certification process under the
Immigration Act of 1990.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the OEWS
program. Occupational employment
data obtained by the OEWS survey are
used to develop information regarding
current and projected employment
needs and job opportunities. These data
assist in the development of State
vocational education plans. OEWS wage
data provide a significant source of
information to support a number of
different Federal, State, and local
efforts.
With the release of the May 2021
OEWS estimates in March 2022, the
OEWS program implemented a new
model-based estimation methodology
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(MB3). The MB3 methodology uses
modeling to predict the staffing pattern
and wages for every non-observed
establishment on the OEWS population
frame using observed OEWS survey
response data along with current data
from the Quarterly Census of
Employment and Wages program. This
differs from the older design-based
methodology that used weighting and
imputation to make the OEWS response
data represent the OEWS population
frame. Research and testing indicated
the accuracy and reliability of the MB3
estimates improved over the former
approach.
As part of an ongoing effort to reduce
respondent burden, OEWS has several
electronic submission options which are
available to respondents. Respondents
have the ability to submit data by email,
or fillable online forms. In many cases,
a respondent can submit existing
payroll records and would not need to
submit a survey form.
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: Report on
Occupational Employment and Wages.
OMB Number: 1220–0042.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, Not-for-profit institutions,
Federal Government, State, Local, or
Tribal Government.
Total Respondents: 255,965.
Frequency: Semi-annually.
Total Responses: 255,965.
Average Time per Response: 30
minutes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
127,982.
