DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau of Labor Statistics
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance 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
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed extension of
the ‘‘Job Openings and Labor Turnover
Survey (BLS–1411).’’ A copy of the
proposed information collection request
(ICR) can be obtained by contacting the
individual listed below in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
Addresses section below on or before
January 9, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Amy A.
Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, Division
of Management Systems, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2
Massachusetts Avenue, NE.,
Washington, DC 20212, telephone
number 202–691–7628. (This is not a
toll free number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
E:\FR\FM\10NON1.SGM 10NON1
 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 217 / Thursday, November 10, 2005 / Notices
I. Background
The Job Openings and Labor Turnover
Survey (JOLTS) collects data on job
vacancies, labor hires, and labor
separations. As the monthly JOLTS time
series grow longer, their value in
assessing the business cycle, the
difficulty that employers have in hiring
workers, and the extent of the mismatch
between the unused supply of available
workers and the unmet demand for
labor by employers will increase. The
study of the complex relationship
between job openings and
unemployment will be of particular
interest to researchers. While these two
measures are expected to move in
opposite directions over the course of
the business cycle, their relative levels
and movements depend on the
efficiency of the labor market in
matching workers and jobs.
Along with the job openings rate,
trends in hires and separations may
broadly identify which aggregate
industries face the tightest labor
markets. Quits rates, the number of
persons who quit during an entire
month as a percentage of total
employment, may provide clues about
workers’ views of the labor market or
their success in finding better jobs. In
addition, businesses will be able to
compare their own turnover rates to the
national, regional, and major industry
division rates.
The BLS uses the JOLTS form to
gather employment, job openings, hires,
and total separations from business
establishments. The information is
collected once a month at the BLS Data
Collection Center (DCC) in Atlanta,
Georgia. The information is collected
using Computer Assisted Telephone
Interviewing (CATI), Touch-tone Data
Entry (TDE), FAX, and mail. An
establishment is in the sample for 24
consecutive months.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) clearance is being sought for the
JOLTS. The BLS is requesting an
extension to the existing clearance for
the JOLTS. There are no major changes
being made to the forms, procedures,
data collection methodology, or other
aspects of the survey.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:02 Nov 09, 2005 Jkt 208001
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, through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses.
