annouce substantive changes in a Federal register notice and allow

changes. DOL will publish the normal 60-day notice when seeking to
renew this generic clearance in 2009. Therefore, the BLS is
submitting the 2008 LMI Cooperative Agreement to OMB for review. If
OMB determines that substantive changes have been made, the BLS
will publish the changes in the Federal Register.
