SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to reinstate a previously 
approved information collection. BLS conducts the Current Population 
Survey Displaced Worker, Job Tenure, and Occupational Mobility 
supplement biennially, and the supplement was last collected in January 
2016. This supplement gathers information on workers who have lost or 
left their jobs because their plant or company closed or moved, there 
was insufficient work for the workers to perform, or their position or 
shift was abolished. The BLS will collect data on the extent to which 
displaced workers received advance notice of job cutbacks or the 
closing of their plant or business. The supplement also gathers data on 
the types of jobs reemployed workers have found and will compare 
current earnings with those from the lost job. In addition, the 
supplement will query for the incidence and nature of occupational 
changes in the preceding year. The survey also probes for the length of 
time workers, including those who have not been displaced, have been 
with their current employer. The BLS will collect additional data on 
the receipt of unemployment compensation, the loss of health insurance 
coverage, and the length of time spent without a job.
    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. For additional information, see the related notice published in 
the Federal Register on June 19, 2017 (82 FR 27875).
    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 30 days of publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1220-0104. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary

[[Page 57000]]

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.
