SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The O*NET Data Collection Program is an 
ongoing effort to collect and maintain current information on the 
detailed characteristics of occupations and skills for more than 900 
occupations. The resulting database provides the most comprehensive 
standardized source of occupational and skills information in the 
nation. O*NET information is used by a wide range of audiences, 
including individuals making career decisions, public agencies and 
schools providing career exploration services or education and training 
programs, and businesses making staffing and training decisions. The 
O*NET system provides a common language, framework and database to meet 
the administrative needs of various federal programs, including 
workforce investment and training programs supported by funding from 
the Departments of Labor, Education, and Health and Human Services. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on July 31, 2023, 88 FR 49502.

comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid
