SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Job Openings and Labor Turnover
Survey (JOLTS) collects data on job
vacancies, labor hires, and labor
separations. As the monthly JOLTS time
series grow longer, their value in
assessing the business cycle, the
difficulty that employers have in hiring
workers, and the extent of the mismatch
between the unused supply of available
workers and the unmet demand for
labor by employers will increase. The
study of the complex relationship
between job openings and
unemployment is of particular interest
Affected public

II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the JOLTS.
The BLS is requesting an extension to
the existing clearance for the JOLTS.

methodology, or other aspects of the
survey.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Turnover Survey.
OMB Number: 1220–0170.

to researchers. While these two
measures are expected to move in
opposite directions over the course of
the business cycle, their relative levels
and movements depend on the
efficiency of the labor market in
matching workers and jobs.
Along with the job openings rate,
trends in hires and separations may
broadly identify which aggregate
industries face the tightest labor
markets. Quits rates, the number of
persons who quit during an entire
month as a percentage of total
employment, may provide clues about
workers’ views of the labor market or
their success in finding better jobs. In
addition, businesses will be able to
compare their own turnover rates to the
national, regional, and major industry
division rates.
The BLS uses the JOLTS form to
gather employment, job openings, hires,
and total separations from business
establishments. The information is
collected once a month at the BLS Data
Collection Center (DCC) in Atlanta,
Georgia. The information is collected
using Computer Assisted Telephone
Interviewing (CATI), Touch-tone Data
Entry (TDE), FAX, email, and Web. An
establishment is in the sample for 24
consecutive months.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 31st day of
October 2011.

and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).
This program ensures that
information is in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and costs) is
minimal, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and OSHA’s
estimate of the information collection
burden is accurate. The Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH
Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes
information collection by employers as
necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and
prevention of occupational injuries,
illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657).
The OSH Act also requires that OSHA
obtain such information with minimum
burden upon employers, especially
those operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The information collection
requirements specified by the Electrical
Standards for Construction and for
General Industry alert workers to the
presence and types of electrical hazards
in the workplace, thereby preventing
serious injury and death by
electrocution. The information
collection requirements in these
Standards involve the following: The
employer using electrical equipment
that is marked with the manufacturer’s
name, trademark, or other descriptive
markings that identify the producer of
the equipment, and marking the
equipment with the voltage, current,
wattage, or other ratings necessary;
requiring each disconnecting means for
motors and appliances to be marked
legibly to indicate its purpose, unless
located and arranged so the purpose is
evident; requiring the entrances to
rooms and other guarded locations
containing exposed live parts to be
marked with conspicuous warning signs
forbidding unqualified persons from
entering; and, for construction
employers only, establishing and
implementing the assured equipment
grounding conductor program instead of
using ground-fault circuit interrupters.

Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and cost) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.

II. Special Issues for Comment

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is proposing to increase the
existing burden hours estimated for the
Electrical Standards for Construction
and for General Industry. This increase
in burden hours from 151,172 hours to
170,098 hours, a total increase of 18,926
hours, is due to the increase in the time
it takes to acquire and post signs. The
data used is primarily based on the final
economic analysis (FEA) prepared
during the revision of the final rule of
29 CFR part 1910, Subpart S. There was
an increase in the cost of the labels from
$2.00 to $3.75 and OSHA has added the
cost of caution and warning signs. The
total cost over a five-year period to the
employer is $12,034,166 (or $2,406,833
per year). The Agency will summarize
any comments submitted in response to
this notice, and will include this
summary in the request to OMB to
extend the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in
these Standards.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

Federal Government; State, local, or
