SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Occupational Requirements Survey (ORS) is a nationwide survey that the BLS is conducting at the request of the Social Security Administration (SSA). Data collection and capture for the current collection wave of ORS began in 2023 and was planned to end in 2028. BLS is seeking approval in this 30-day revision request to extend the collection and processing time used to produce public final ORS estimates from this wave which will result in collection of this wave through 2031 with publication in 2032. ORS is also eliminating collection of the data elements pertaining to job work levels. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on March 24, 2023 (88 FRN 17871).

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.
