The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection

Description: Ratios of hours at work to hours paid are needed to
measure labor input for productivity statistics. Ratios from this
survey are used to convert hours paid data from the Current Employment
Statistics Program to hours at work. The resulting hours at work
measures are then incorporated into the Bureau's labor and multifactor
productivity statistics published annually and quarterly. The
collection of information on hours at work began in 1982 and must be
done annually because of the cyclical sensitivity of productivity
measures.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
