SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) 
information collection. The NLSY97 includes respondents who were born 
from 1980 through 1984 and lived in the United States when the survey 
began in 1997. The primary objective of the survey is to study the 
transition from full-time schooling to the establishment of careers and 
families. The longitudinal focus of the survey requires information to 
be collected about the same individuals over many years in order to 
trace their education, training, work experience, fertility, income, 
and program participation. Research based on the NLSY97 contributes to 
the formation of national policy in the areas of education, training, 
employment programs, and school-to-work transitions. This information 
collection has been classified as a revision, because the NLSY97 will 
transition from interviews being conducted primarily in-person to being 
conducted primarily by telephone. The move to predominantly telephone 
interviewing results in slightly longer timings, because the 
interviewer will administer components that were previously self-
administered by respondents. The change in the data collection mode has 
also resulted in edits to the questionnaire in order to adapt the Round 
18 instrument for predominantly telephone administration. The BLS 
Authorizing Statue authorizes this information collection. See 29 
U.S.C. 1, 2.
    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 1220-0157. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on May 31, 2017; however, the DOL notes that existing 
information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a 
month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements 
would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on August 19, 2016 (81 FR 55485).
    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 1220-0157. 
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.
