Title: BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL DATA REQUEST
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No

Terms of Clearance: The "Business Confidential Data Request" is approved through November 1988. During OMB's review of this package, a commenter questioned DOL's burden estimate of 6.2 hours per response. The commenter suggested that the burden estimate should be 30 hours per response. It is OMB's understanding that DOL arrived at its estimate by deriving an average response time from a sample of response times received from the businesses completing the form. OMB requests, however, that over the next year the Department reassess its burden estimate for this form. Any request for an extension of approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act should be accompanied by a detailed justification of the burden estimate, including the methodology used to derive the estimate. The justification and burden hour accounting for DOL's requested program change decrease (item 14 of the supporting statement) is unclear. OMB requests that the Department submit an inventory correction worksheet requesting the program change decrease with a full justification for the decrease and a clear accounting of the decrease in the burden estimate for this data collection.
