NOTE TO THE REVIEWER OF 1220-0079

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the Labor Market Information (LMI) Cooperative Agreement through a Notice of Action, dated May 19, 2015. As part of that approved information collection, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) agreed to submit any changes to the program work statements to OMB on an annual basis, along with a description of the changes. If it is determined that the changes are substantive, the BLS will publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register describing the changes and allowing the public an opportunity to comment.

The BLS is submitting the 2017 LMI Cooperative Agreement to OMB for review. A memorandum addressed to the State Agencies participating in the LMI Cooperative Agreement is included in the package. The memo describes the changes that affect the FY 2017 LMI Cooperative Agreement and work statements and requirements.

If OMB determines that substantive changes have been made, the BLS will publish the changes in the Federal Register.
