Title: Report of Occupational Employment
Type of Information Collection: Extension without change of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 07/11/1995
	Date Received in OIRA: 05/12/1995
Terms of Clearance: Approved with the understanding that during the three-year collection cycle beginning in calendar 1996, BLS will revise its estimate of the percent collected electronically (including magnetic tape and floppy discs) and burden hours to reflect the reporting methods actually in use. Item 3 of the narrative justification indicates that large firms submit magnetic tapes or printouts of their occupational employment, making it likely that the percent collected electronically significantly exceeds the 5 percent reported. The estimates of electronic filing should be prepared using existing resources and may be based on a combination of the judgements of field staff, public comments, and tallies obtained during the processing of data collection. Annual updates, following guidance to be supplied by OMB for the Information Collection Budget, should be reflected in annual estimates of burden hours and unduplicative dollar costs to the public. At or following the time the Department submits the ICB for FY 1996, BLS should inform the OMB desk officer about its plan for providing annual estimates updating the percent reporting electronicallyfor this collection.
