We estimate that the time required to complete this report will vary from 10 minutes to 2 hours, depending on factors such as the size of the establishment.
This includes time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing this
information. If you have any comments regarding these estimates or any other aspects of this report, including suggestions for reducing this burden, send
them to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Occupational Employment Statistics (1220-0042), 2 Massachusetts Avenue NE, Suite 2135,
Washington, DC 20212. Your voluntary cooperation is needed to make the results of this report comprehensive, accurate, and timely. However, in some
states this report is mandatory; these states include Colorado, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
Oregon, Vermont, and Wyoming. You do not have to complete this questionnaire if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number. Form
