     Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Data Sharing Agreement Program information collection. 
Disseminating the maximum amount of information possible to the public 
is an important aspect of the BLS mission; however, not all data are 
publicly available, because of the importance of maintaining BLS data 
confidential. The BLS has opportunities available, on a limited basis, 
for eligible researchers to access confidential data for purposes of 
conducting valid statistical analyses that further the mission of the 
BLS, as permitted by the Confidential Information Protection and 
Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA).
    In order to provide access to confidential data, the BLS must 
determine that the researcher's project will be exclusively statistical 
in nature and that the researcher is eligible based on guidelines set 
out in the CIPSEA, OMB implementation guidance on the CIPSEA, and BLS 
policy. This information collection provides the vehicle through which 
the BLS will obtain the necessary details to ensure all researchers and 
projects comply with appropriate laws and policies.
    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 it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1220-0180.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on July 24, 2015 (80 FR 
44154).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at

the address shown in the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. In order to help 
ensure appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Control 
Number 1220-0180. The OMB 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; 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 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
