SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Leave Supplement to the American Time Use Survey information 
collection. The information collected will be published as a public use 
data set to facilitate research on numerous topics, such as: 
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 working from home and flexible hours, and the 
relationship between workers' time use and access to job flexibilities. 
The BLS Authorizing Statute 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 1220-0191.
    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 June 30, 2018; however, the prior approval did 
not specifically mention a 2018 data collection. 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 10, 2017 (82 FR 
31787).
    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 1220-0191. 
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.
    Agency: DOL-BLS.
    Title of Collection: Leave Supplement to the American Time Use 
Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 1220-0191.
