Terms of Clearance: This collection is disapproved for the following reason. Under the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, a collection of information must have practical utility. This collection fails to demonstrate practical utility. The design is seriously flawed. The 26.8 percent response rate obtained in the first wave of the study is a fundamental problem that can not be fixed and, thus, any subsequent collection will lack statistical validity. Furthermore, DOL drew conclusions from the first wave of the study to determine which behavior statements to use based on the low number of responses which were not representative of the population surveyed. Overall, the information obtained from either wave of the survey would provide little useful information to reliably inform DOL on common occupational behaviors or work activities that are related to high-performance workplaces.
