SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BLS has been charged by Congress with the
responsibility of collecting and publishing monthly information on
employment, the average wage received, and the hours worked by area and
industry. The Local Area Unemployment Statistics Program develops
residency-based employment and unemployment statistics through a
cooperative Federal-State program that uses employment and unemployment
inputs available in State agencies. Estimates are prepared monthly in
the State agencies and transmitted to the BLS for validation and
publication. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see
the related notice published in the Federal Register on January 18,
2024 (89 FRN 3432).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
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.
