Southwest Studies, Fort Lewis College,
acquired part of the Magic Mountain
collection from the Rimrocker Historical
Society. The Rimrock Historical Society
originally accepted the materials as part
of a larger donation in 1998 from Dr.
Jonathan Kent of Metropolitan State
College of Denver (now the
Metropolitan State University of
Denver). In April 2023, DMNS staff
learned of the Center of Southwest
Studies, Fort Lewis College Magic
Mountain collection. Both parties
agreed to transfer the materials to DMNS
in 2023 since the Museum holds the
majority of the collections from the site.
Prior to transfer analysis conducted by
Dr. Dawn Mulhern identified 31 bone
fragments. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed revision of the
‘‘Quarterly Census of Employment and
Wages Business Supplement.’’ A copy
of the proposed information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the individual listed below in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:

I. Background

ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1

The Quarterly Census of Employment
and Wages Business Supplement (QBS)
is a versatile collection instrument
designed to capture information on the
US economy quickly and efficiently.
The QBS collection is designed to
incorporate new questionnaires as the
need arises to allow BLS to collect and
publish information quickly so that
stakeholders and data users can
understand the impact of specific
events, or economic issues of relevance,
on the US economy.
The BLS will primarily use the
Annual Refiling Survey (ARS) as a
platform for conducting the QBS. Each
year, the BLS Quarterly Census of
Employment and Wages (QCEW)
Program conducts the ARS by reaching
out to approximately 1.5 million
establishments requesting verification of
their main business activity, and their
mailing and physical location addresses.
The fully web-based ARS allows for an
accelerated timeframe for collection and
provides a low-cost platform for
conducting the quick, short surveys of
the QBS. The QBSs accompanying the
ARS have little data collection
overhead, leveraging the respondent
contact process undertaken as part of
the production ARS. QBS respondents
already logged into the ARS secure
website are directed to a QBS and asked
to answer a limited number of
additional survey questions after
completing the ARS. QBS respondents
that are not in the ARS are solicited
using established contact methods
(email and/or printed letters) and
directed to a stand-alone interface to
access and answer the QBS questions
online.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for a revision
of the QCEW Business Supplement
(QBS).
The QBS is designed to encourage a
fast response and minimize respondent
burden on the public by limiting the
number of questions on each survey and

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:31 Jan 10, 2024

Jkt 262001

by asking questions that respondents
should be able to answer without
research or referring to records. In this
manner, BLS can provide information
that is needed quickly and is not
collected elsewhere. The QBS will
incorporate new questionnaires as the
need for data arises, as frequently as
twice a year. The BLS plans to conduct
multiple small surveys under the QBS
clearance. The 2024 survey will focus
on establishments’ telework policies
and practices, recent experiences in
hiring, and how they advertise
vacancies. These questions were
previously asked in the 2022 QBS
collected under this clearance (the 2022
Business Response Survey). Asking
these questions again, a full two years
later, will provide an understanding of
how these business operations have
changed.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the 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.
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Title of Collection: QCEW Business
Supplement.
OMB Number: 1220–0198.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and
farms.
Total Number of Respondents: 80,000.
Frequency: Once.
Total Responses: 80,000.
Average Time per Response: 5
minutes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 6,667
hours.
