Labor Statistics (BLS) sponsored information collection request (ICR) 
proposal titled, ``Leave Supplement to the American Time Use Survey,'' 
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval 
for use in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Public comments on the ICR are invited.

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that agency receives 
on or before December 30, 2016.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation; 
including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency 
of response, and estimated total burden may be obtained free of charge 
from the RegInfo.gov Web site at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201607-1220-004 (this link will only become active 
on the day following publication of this notice) or by contacting

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the Leave 
Supplement to the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) information 
collection. The leave supplement includes questions about workers' 
access to and use of paid and unpaid leave, job flexibility, and their 
work schedules. Information collected in the supplement will be 
published as a public use data set to facilitate research on numerous 
topics, such as: The characteristics of people with paid and unpaid 
leave; occupations with the greatest and least access to paid leave; 
reasons workers are able to take leave from their jobs; how many 
workers have access to job flexibilities such as the ability to work 
from home or adjust their start and stop times; and the relationship 
between workers' time use and their access to job flexibilities. The 
supplement would survey eligible wage and salary workers aged 15-years 
and up from a nationally representative sample of approximately 2,060 
sample households each month. The BLS Authorizing Statue authorizes 
this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1.
    This proposed 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 if the collection of information does not display a valid 
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional 
information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register 
on July 26, 2016 (81 FR 48850).
    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 ICR Reference Number 201607-
1220-004. 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.
