SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The BLS is one of the largest labor statistics organizations in the 
world and has provided international training since 1945. Each year, 
the BLS Division of International Technical Cooperation (DITC) conducts 
seminars of 1 to 2 weeks duration at its training facilities in 
Washington, DC In addition to the annual international seminars, DITC 
provides technical assistance upon request and organizes visits to the 
BLS for many international visitors each year. The seminars bring 
together statisticians, economists, analysts, and other data producers 
and users from countries all over the world. Each seminar is designed 
to strengthen the participants' ability to collect and analyze economic 
and labor statistics.

II. Current Action

    Office of Management and Budget clearance is being sought for the 
proposed extension of the International Training Application. 
Continuing the existing collection will allow the BLS to continue to 
conduct international seminars. No questions have been added or deleted 
on the form since the last Office of Management and Budget approval in 
2013.

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 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.
     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 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submissions of responses.
