Abstract:
This request is for 180-day approval of an emergency Information Collection Request for changes to private industry sick leave policies in reaction to the coronavirus pandemic.
Emergency Justfication:
NCS is adding questions to cover changes in sick leave policy resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. BLS cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under the PRA as an unanticipated event has occurred and BLS has an urgent necessity to collect this information from the American public to assess the damage to the U.S. economy resulting from this pandemic.
