SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Leave and Job Flexibilities Module 
includes questions about workers' access to and use of paid and unpaid 
leave, job flexibility, and their work schedules. Information collected 
in the supplement will be published as a public use data set to 
facilitate research on numerous topics, such as: the characteristics of 
people with paid and unpaid leave; occupations with the greatest and 
least access to paid leave; reasons workers are able to take leave from 
their jobs; how many workers have access to job flexibilities such as 
the ability to work from home or adjust their start and stop times; and 
the relationship between workers' time use and their access to job 
flexibilities. Sponsored by the Department of Labor's Women's Bureau, 
the supplement is asked of eligible respondents immediately upon their 
completion of the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). The Leave and Job 
Flexibilities Module supports the mission of the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics by providing relevant information on economic and social 
issues and providing a richer description of work. The module surveys 
eligible wage and salary workers aged 15 and up from a nationally 
representative sample of households each month. For additional 
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice 
published in the Federal Register on June 13, 2023 (88 FRN 38543).
    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.
