SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public and Federal agencies an
opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of
information before submitting them to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for final approval. This program helps to ensure requested
data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
I. Background
The Occupational Code Assignment form (ETA 741) was developed as a
public service to the users of the Occupational Information Network
(O*NET), in an effort to help them in obtaining occupational codes and
titles for jobs that they are unable to locate in O*NET. The O*NET
system classifies nearly all jobs in the United States economy.
However, new specializations are constantly evolving and emerging. The
use of the OCA is voluntary and is provided: (1) As a uniform format to
the public and private sector to submit information in order to receive
assistance in identifying an occupational code; (2) to assist the O*NET
system in identifying potential occupations that may need to be
included in future O*NET data collection efforts; and (3) to provide
input to a database of alternative (lay) titles to facilitate searches
for occupational information in the O*NET websites including O*NET
OnLine (<a href="http://online.onetcenter.org">http://online.onetcenter.org</a>), My Next Move
(<a href="http://www.MyNextMove.gov">www.MyNextMove.gov</a>), My Next Move for Veterans (<a href="http://www.MyNextMove.org/vets">www.MyNextMove.org/vets</a>), O*NET Code Connector (<a href="http://www.onetcodeconnector.org">www.onetcodeconnector.org</a>), as well as
CareerOneStop (<a href="http://www.careeronestop.org">www.careeronestop.org</a>).
The OCA process is designed to help the occupational information
user relate an occupational specialty or a job title to an occupational
code and title within the framework of the 2018 Standard Occupational
Classification (SOC) based O*NET system. The O*NET-SOC system consists
of a database that organizes the work done by individuals into
approximately 1,000 occupational categories. In addition, O*NET
occupations have associated data on the importance and level of a range
of occupational characteristics and requirements, including Knowledge,
Skills, Abilities, Tasks and Work Activities. Since the O*NET-SOC
system is based on the 2018 SOC system, identifying an O*NET-SOC code
and title also facilitates linkage to national, state, and local
occupational employment and wage estimates.
Section 308 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act
authorizes this information collection.
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 it is approved by OMB under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the
contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to
receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments should mention 1205-0137.
Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this
ICR and posted on the internet, without redaction. DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally identifiable information,
confidential business data, or other sensitive statements/information
in any comments.
DOL is particularly interested in comments that:
<bullet> 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;
<bullet> 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;
<bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
<bullet> 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 submission of responses).
