SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 assists in the development of 
employment and training programs established by the Perkins Vocational 
Education Act of 1998 and the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. 
Respondents include private establishment, schools, hospitals, State 
and Local Government. For additional substantive information about this 
ICR see the related notice published in the Federal Register on 
November 9, 2022 (87 FR 67716).
    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 current 
approval is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2023.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
