SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
American Time Use Survey (ATUS) is
the Nation’s first federally administered,
continuous survey on time use in the
United States. It measures, for example,
time spent with children, working,
sleeping, or doing leisure activities. In
the United States, several existing
Federal surveys collect income and
wage data for individuals and families,
and analysts often use such measures of
material prosperity as proxies for

quality of life. Time-use data
substantially augment these quality-oflife measures. The data also can be used
in conjunction with wage data to
evaluate the contribution of non-market
work to national economies. This
enables comparisons of production
between nations that have different
mixes of market and non-market
activities. The ATUS is used to develop
nationally representative estimates of
how people spend their time. This is
accomplished by collecting a time diary
about the activities survey respondents
did over a 24-hour period ‘‘yesterday,’’
from 4 a.m. on the day before the
interview until 4 a.m. on the day of the
interview. In the one-time interview,
respondents also report who was with
them during the activities, where they
were, how long each activity lasted, and
if they were paid. All of this information
has numerous practical applications for
sociologists, economists, educators,
government policymakers,
businesspersons, health researchers, and
others. The Well-being Module, a
supplement to the ATUS, provides an
additional dimension to data on time
use by providing information about how
Americans experience their time.
Specifically, the Module collects
information about how happy, tired,
sad, and stressed individuals were
yesterday, and the degree to which they
felt pain, for three activities randomly
selected from the time diary. The
Wellbeing Module also collects data on
whether people were interacting with
anyone while doing the selected
activities and how meaningful the
activities were to them. Some general
health questions, a question about
overall life satisfaction, and a question
about respondents’ overall affective
experience yesterday also are asked. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 5, 2020 (85 FR 26716).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization to
reinstate this information collection for
three (3) years. OMB authorization for
an ICR cannot be for more than three (3)
years without renewal. The DOL notes

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLS
Behavioral Science Research Center
(BSRC) conducts theoretical, applied,
and evaluative research aimed at
improving the quality of data collected
and published by the Bureau. Since its
creation in 1988, the BSRC has
advanced the study of survey methods
research, approaching issues of nonsampling error within a framework that
draws heavily on the theories and
methods of the cognitive, statistical, and
social sciences. The BSRC research
focuses primarily on the assessment of
survey instrument design and survey
administration, as well as on issues
related to interviewer training, the
interaction between interviewer and
respondent in the interview process,
and the usability of data-collection
instruments by both interviewers and
respondents. Improvements in these
areas result in greater accuracy and
response rates of BLS surveys,
frequently reduce costs in training and
survey administration, and further
ensure the effectiveness of the Bureau’s
overall mission. clearance by the BSRC
is to conduct cognitive and
psychological research designed to
enhance the quality of the Bureau’s data
collection procedures and overall data
management.
The BLS is committed to producing
the most accurate and complete data
within the highest quality assurance
guidelines. The BSRC was created to aid
in this effort and it has demonstrated
the effectiveness and value of its
approach. As the use of web-based
surveys continues to grow, so too will
the need for careful tests of instrument
design and usability, human-computer
interactions, and the impact of multiple
modes on data quality. The BSRC is
uniquely equipped with both the skills
and facilities to accommodate these
demands.
The extension of this information
collection reflects an attempt to
accommodate the increasing interest by
BLS program offices and other agencies
in the methods used and the results

Frm 00067

Fmt 4703

obtained by the BSRC. This extension
also reflects planned research and
development activities for FY2021
through FY2023. The collection’s
approval will enable the continued
productivity of a state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary program of behavioral
science research to improve BLS survey
methodology.

information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on October 9, 2020 (85 FR
