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.

The increase in the estimated burden is due to two factors. First, we have increased the assumed number of establishments fielded per month from approximately 1,360 to 3,000 to offset declining response rates and potentially lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The second factor leading to an increase in the estimated burden is that we have increased the assumed number of OE Method occupations fielded per year from 25 to 40. Appendix G in this ICR package differs from the 2018 Appendix A submission: the questions related to association membership have been removed from the Background questionnaire because this information is available through other existing sources; and numerous level scale anchors have been updated as part of efforts to modernize and lend clarity to the Knowledge and Work Activities questionnaire descriptors. The Department does not believe that these changes in requirements impact the burden calculation because the burden is already accounted for as an average.
