SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the Survey 
of Employer Policies on the Employment

of People with Disabilities information collection to examine employer 
perceptions of their efforts to employ individuals with disabilities. 
Knowing this information will enhance the ability of the ODEP to engage 
employers on how to hire, retain, and promote individuals with 
disabilities. The ODEP has the ability to reach out to employers 
through its public education campaigns and technical assistance 
centers, as well as engage the business community directly. Assessing 
employer attitudes towards hiring and retaining individuals with 
disabilities will increase the ODEP's understanding of employer 
successes and concerns, as well as more effectively to share best 
practices in hiring, retaining, and promoting individuals with 
disabilities. This study will answer research questions with regard to 
current employer practices and attitudes towards employment of people 
with disabilities (disability employment'); barriers and facilitators 
of disability employment; the impact of accommodations and technology 
on employer perceptions and attitudes towards disability employment; 
and sources of disability employment-related information for employers. 
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001 section Appendix A-HR 5656 
authorizes this information collection. See Public Law 106-554.
    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 May 23, 2017 (82 FR 23607).
    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 201709-
1230-001. 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.
