Approved
consistent with DOL changes attached and clarifications given in
conversation of 3-27-00. This collection is approved for 7000
respondents and 84,000 hours. Prior to sending this survey to an
additional 53,000 respondents as discussed in this package, DOL
will submit an information change worksheet (83-C) to OMB and
describe and evaluate the preliminary findings from the initial
7000 respondents. In addition, DOL will reassess the burden per
respondent of this survey at that time. Finally, DOL will keep a
log of questions received by the help desk set up for the EO survey
and share a summary of this log with OMB when submitting the
83-C.
