SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) intends
to implement a new collection for a
QCEW Business Supplement (QBS).
Through the QBS, the BLS will be able
to capture information on the US
economy in a more efficient and timely
manner than is currently possible. The
QBS is intended to be a versatile
collection instrument that will allow
BLS to quickly collect and publish
information so that stakeholders and
data users can understand the impact of
specific events on the US economy as
they occur, improving the relevancy of
the data. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on February 3, 2021 (86 FR
8037).

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLS
has been charged by Congress (29 U.S.C.
Sections 1 and 2) with the responsibility
of collecting and publishing monthly
information on employment, the average
wage received, and the hours worked by
area and industry. The process for
developing residency-based
employment and unemployment
estimates is a cooperative Federal-State
program which uses employment and
unemployment inputs available in State
Workforce Agencies. The labor force
estimates developed and issued in this
program are used for economic analysis
and as a tool in the implementation of
Federal economic policy in such areas
as employment and economic
development under the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014
(that supplanted the Workforce
Investment Act of 1998) and the Public
Works and Economic Development Act,
among others. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
