Abstract:
The O*NET Data Collection Program is an ongoing effort to collect and maintain current information on the detailed characteristics of occupations and skills for more than 900 occupations. The resulting database provides the most comprehensive standardized source of occupational and skills information in the nation. O*NET information is used by a wide range of audiences, including individuals making career decisions, public agencies and schools providing career exploration services or education and training programs, and businesses making staffing and training decisions. The O*NET system provides a common language, framework and database to meet the administrative needs of various federal programs, including workforce investment and training programs supported by funding from the Departments of Labor, Education, and Health and Human Services.

Short Statement:
Despite an increase in the annual average number of responses, the projected number of burden hours has decreased. The decrease in the estimated burden is due to two factors. First, we have proposed an increased use of the OE Method, which incurs less burden per occupation, to improve overall data collection efficiency. The second factor leading to a decline in the estimated burden is that we have corrected an overestimation in the number of Establishment Method employee respondents.
