MEMORANDUM FOR: Reviewer of 1220-0011
FROM: Sally Anderson
Bureau of Labor Statistics
Office of Employment and Unemployment Statistics
Division of Current Employment Statistics
Current Employment Statistics (CES)
SUBJECT: Ohio Mandatory Reporting – Non-substantive Change Request
The purpose of this request is to obtain approval for a non-substantive change to Current Employment Statistics (CES) program forms due to a change in the mandatory reporting status of Ohio, effective immediately. The CES is a voluntary program under Federal Statute, but several states require mandatory reporting to state agencies. Ohio now mandates CES collection in the state. As such, the CES program is requesting that the following highlighted statement below be inserted in the list of current mandatory states, for all CES electronic and paper data collection forms.
Please note this report is mandatory in California, under Title 22 CCR § 320.5-1; in New Mexico, under NMAC 11.3.400.428; in Ohio, under Rule 4141-11-01 of the Ohio Administrative Code; in Oregon, under the Oregon Revised Statute 657.660; in South Carolina, under Section 41-29-120 of the Code of Laws of South Carolina (for firms employing more than twenty individuals); and in Puerto Rico, under State Law 15, Sections 5, 6 and 15, amended and approved on April 14, 1931.
A copy of all the CES collection forms and online data collection applications’ screens where this statement appears are included in the appendices.
These changes will not affect respondent burden.
Current OMB approval for the CES is scheduled to expire on August 30, 2027.
