ACTION: Corrected notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This corrected notice is being published to correct errors in
notice document 95-20778 in the issue of Tuesday, August 22, 1995, 60
FR 43614.
The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the
desired format, reporting burden is minimized, reporting forms are
clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on
respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments concerning the proposed new
collection, ``Compensation 2000: Albuquerque, New Mexico and Allentown,
Pennsylvania Test.'' A copy of the proposed information collection
request (ICR) can be obtained by contacting the individual listed below
in the address section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before October 31,
1995.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Karin G. Kurz, BLS Clearance Officer,
Division of Management Systems, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 3255,
2 Massachusetts Avenue N.E., Washington, DC 20212. For further
information contact Ms. Kurz at 202-606-7628. (This is not a toll-free
number.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
This collection is a test of a new method of identifying and
classifying occupations within an establishment. If successful, the new
method could ultimately allow for joint collection of three separate
statistical surveys of wage and benefit data; the Occupational
Compensation Survey Program, the Employment Cost Index, and the
Employee Benefits Survey. In addition to evaluating the results of the
test for use in future surveys, BLS also will publish a bulletin for
each area containing the occupational earnings data collected.
II. Current Actions
The test will include establishments in the Albuquerque, New Mexico
and Allentown, Pennsylvania metropolitan statistical areas, both in
private industry and in State, Local or Tribal Government. It will be
conducted in early 1996. Once each occupation has been selected and
classified using the test methodology, earnings data for the
occupations will be collected. A new data entry system using laptop
computers also will be tested as part of the collection.
Type of Review: New.
Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Title: Compensation 2000: Albuquerque, New Mexico and Allentown,
Pennsylvania Test.
Frequency: One time.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit
institutions; and State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 574.
Estimated Time Per Respondent: 2 hours.
Total Burden Hours: 1148 hours.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget
approval of the ICR; they also will become a matter of public record.
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 28th day of August, 1995.
W. Stuart Rust, Jr.,
Acting Chief, Division of Management Systems, Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
