SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the National Compensation Survey
(NCS), BLS currently uses the Employment Cost Index (ECI) and
Occupational Employment Statistics to provide grade and local wage data
required by the President's Pay Agent to comply with the requirements
of the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990. The President's
Pay Agent uses these data to recommend pay increases for Federal
General Schedule workers; NCS data produces the Employment Cost Index
which is designated a Principal Federal Economic Indicator under OMB
Statistical Policy Directive No. 3. NCS data is used to produce the
ECI, the Employer Cost for Employee Compensation, employee benefit
provision publications, Modeled Wage Estimates, and data for the
President's Pay Agent. For additional substantive information about
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on
November 9, 2023 (88 FR 77363).

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.
