SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting this Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS)-sponsored information collection request (ICR)
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). Public

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that the agency
receives on or before May 10, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed

information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed Contingent Work Supplement
(CWS) to the Current Population Survey questions focus on contingent
workers--those who do not expect their jobs to last or who report that
their jobs are temporary--and workers in alternative employment
arrangements, such as independent contractors, on-call workers,
temporary help agency workers, and workers provided by contract firms.
Although the CWS was fielded 5 times from 1995 to 2005 and then in May
2017, there have been no
[[Page 21211]]
comparable and reliable statistics in recent years to show how the
number and characteristics of these workers are changing over time. The
July 2023 CWS will allow researchers and policy makers to evaluate how
the number and characteristics of these workers has evolved. BLS is
proposing to add new questions and remove outdated questions to the
CWS. New questions on task-based and app-based work are designed to
provide insight into additional work arrangements like digital labor
platform work. This new content replaces the 2017 items on
electronically-mediated employment. The 2023 supplement will also ask
about work arrangements on second jobs for multiple jobholders. For
additional substantive information about this ICR see the related
notice published in the Federal Register on December 23, 2022 (87 FR
78999).
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.
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.

Population Survey.
