> SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for
> the American Time Use Survey-Eating and Health Supplement information
> collection. The Eating and Health module supplement includes questions
> about respondents' eating and drinking behaviors, food assistance
> participation, grocery and meal shopping, food preparation, and food
> sufficiency. It also includes questions on general health and physical
> exercise. Information collected in the supplement will be published as
> a public use data set to facilitate research on numerous topics, such
> as the association between eating patterns, body mass index, and
> obesity; time-use patterns of food assistance program participants and
> low-income nonparticipants; time-use patterns and eating and activity
> levels; and how time-use varies by health status. The supplement is
> asked of respondents immediately upon their completion of the American
> Time Use Survey. The supplement surveys individuals aged 15 and up
> from a nationally representative sample of approximately 2,100 sample
> households each month. The BLS Authorizing Statue authorizes this
> information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1, 2.
> This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal
> agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of
> information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an
> information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA
> and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
> notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally
> be subject
>
> [[Page 26262]]
>
> to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that
> does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
> 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection
> under Control Number 1220-0187.
> OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3)
> years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is
> scheduled to expire on June 30, 2016. The DOL seeks to extend PRA
> authorization for this information collection for use through June
> 2017, without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that
> existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB
> receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For
> additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related
> notice published in the Federal Register on January 5, 2016
> (81 FR
> 253).
> Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB,
> Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in
> the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this
> notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate
> consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1220-0187.
> The OMB 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; and
> Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
