SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Occupational Requirements Survey (ORS)
is a nationwide survey that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is
conducting at the request of the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Estimates produced from the data collected by the ORS will be used by
the SSA to update occupational requirements data for administering the
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) programs. BLS is seeking approval to increase the ORS
sample size for Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 to mitigate the impacts of
pandemic related non-response on survey estimates. To ensure sufficient
data are collected to support final ORS estimates, BLS is now seeking
approval to increase the ORS sample size for the group collected August
2022 through July 2023. New requirements would only take effect upon
OMB approval. For additional substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the Federal Register on January 28,
2021 (86 FR 7422).
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions
of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB
approval for this information collection under Control Number 1220-
0189. The current approval is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2024.
