ACTION:

The Department of Labor
(DOL) is submitting this Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS)-sponsored information
collection request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are
invited.
DATES: The OMB will consider all
written comments that agency receives
on or before March 31, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) if the
information will be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (4)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information collection; and
(5) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Compensation Survey (NCS) is
an ongoing survey of earnings and
benefits among private firms, State, and
local government. Data from the NCS
program include estimates of wages
covering broad groups of related
occupations, and data that directly links
benefit plan costs with detailed plan
provisions. The NCS is used to produce
the Employment Cost Trends, including
the Employment Cost Index (ECI) and
SUMMARY:

01MRN1

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 38 / Monday, March 1, 2021 / Notices
Employer Costs for Employee
Compensation (ECEC), employee
benefits data (on coverage, cost, and
provisions), and data used by the
President’s Pay Agent. This data is used
by compensation administrators and
researchers in the public and private
sectors. Data from the NCS are used to
help in determining monetary policy (as
a Principal Federal Economic Indicator).
The integrated program’s single sample
produces both time-series indexes and
cost levels for industry and
occupational groups, thereby increasing
the analytical potential of the data.
The NCS employs probability
methods for selection of occupations.
This ensures that sampled occupations
represent all occupations in the
workforce, while minimizing the
reporting burden on respondents. The
survey collects data from a sample of
employers. These data will consist of
information about the duties,
responsibilities, and compensation
(earnings and benefits) for a sample of
occupations for each sampled employer.
Data will be updated on a quarterly
basis. The updates will allow for
production of data on change in
earnings and total compensation.
This survey was revised to
temporarily add questions to the
National Compensation Survey to cover
sick leave policy changes due to the
coronavirus pandemic. These questions
were collected primarily through email
in June and July of 2020. These data
were approved for collection under
Emergency OMB Clearance Package
1220–0195, but they were discontinued
on November 13, 2020. Respondents
will electronically complete and submit
responses through a simple fillable
form. The additional sick leave policy
questions are not intended to be
collected beyond the July timeframe. At
this time, BLS has discontinued in
person data collection in response to the
coronavirus pandemic. NCS will return
to using in person interviews as a
method of collection once restrictions
are lifted. During this time, the NCS is
relying heavily on telephone, email, and
mail for current collection. Video
interview collection is also available in
response to the pandemic and is being
considered as a standard collection
method.
The NCS collects earnings and work
level data on occupations for the nation.
The NCS also collects information on
the cost, provisions, and incidence of
major employee benefits through its
benefit cost and benefit provision
programs and publications. BLS has for
a number of years been using a revised
approach to the Locality Pay Survey
(LPS) component of the NCS; this uses

data from two current BLS programs—
the Occupational Employment Statistics
(OES) survey and the ECI program. This
approach uses OES data to provide wage
data by occupation and by area, while
ECI data are used to specify grade level
effects. This approach is also being used
to extend the estimation of pay gaps to
areas that were not included in the prior
Locality Pay Survey sample, and these
data have been delivered to the Pay
Agent (in 2019, data for 95 areas were
delivered).
For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on June 11, 2020 (85 FR 35667).
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 for 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 that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
Agency: DOL–BLS.
Title of Collection: National
Compensation Survey.
OMB Control Number: 1220–0164.

Federal Register. The NEA is
particularly interested in comments
that:
SUMMARY:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

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; and
• Can help the agency minimize the
burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through
