E7-10891 Filed 6-5-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-$$-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management [AZ-420-1430-ES; AZA 32985] Notice of Realty Action; Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act Classifications; Arizona AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management
(BLM)has examined and found suitable for classification approximately 16 acres of public land in Pima County, Arizona, for lease or conveyance to the Drexel Heights Fire District under the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as amended, and in keeping with section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act, as amended. The Fire District proposes to use the land for the expansion of an existing fire station facility, operated by the Drexel Heights Fire District. DATES: Submit comments on or before July 23, 2007. ADDRESSES: Detailed information concerning this action, including but not limited to, a development plan and documentation relating to compliance with applicable environmental and cultural resources laws, is available for review at the Bureau of Land Management, Tucson Field Office, 12661 East Broadway Boulevard, Tucson, Arizona 85748-7208. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Bernal, Realty Specialist, at
(520)258-7206; e-mail address *susan_bernal @blm.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land in Pima County, Arizona, has been examined and found suitable for lease or conveyance for use as an expanded fire station facility under the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act, as amended, 43 U.S.C. 869 et seq., and is hereby classified accordingly pursuant to section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act, as amended, 43 U.S.C. 315f: Gila and Salt River Meridian, Arizona T. 15 S., R. 12 E., sec. 3, lots 1 and 2 (within). The area described contains 16 acres in Pima County. When eligible for conveyance, BLM will resurvey the lots and relot them. The Drexel Heights Fire District is a political subdivision of the State of Arizona that has the authority per Arizona Revised Statute Title 48 to acquire federal land (See 43 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR)2741.2) and that operates an existing fire station serving the Drexel Heights Fire District. The Fire District proposes to expand the existing fire station by using all of the above-described land for a fire fighter training facility, including a new classroom, a driver training course and a parking area to be operated by the Fire District. The Fire District, as an agent of the State of Arizona, has advised BLM that it has the authority, as a duly authorized fire district, to operate the fire fighter training facility, both as to training instruction and, also, the functions of the physical site. Devoting the subject acreage to these uses would be of great benefit to the Tucson community. As to the foregoing, the statement required by 43 CFR 2741.4(b) to accompany a Recreation and Public Purposes Act application has been filed in the BLM Tucson Field Office. The land is not needed for any Federal purpose. The lease or conveyance of the lands for recreational or public purposes use is consistent with the Phoenix District Resource Management Plan, dated September 1989, would be in the public interest and, as allowed, would involve no more acreage than is reasonably necessary for the new uses proposed by the Fire District. Detailed information concerning the foregoing is available for review at the BLM, Tucson Field Office, at the address stated above, during normal business hours Monday through Friday (except Federal holidays). A public meeting may be held if the authorized officer determines that public interest in the proposal warrants holding such a meeting. Upon publication of this notice in the **Federal Register** , the lands will be segregated from all other forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the general mining laws, except for lease or conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act and leasing under the mineral leasing laws. The lease or conveyance of the lands, when issued, would be subject to the following terms, conditions, and reservations: 1.

The OMB is particularly interested in comments which: • 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 those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. *Agency:* Bureau of Labor Statistics. *Type of Review:* Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection. *Title:* Veterans Supplement to the CPS. *OMB Number:* 1220-0102. *Frequency:* Biennially. *Affected Public:* Individuals or household. *Type of Response:* Reporting. *Number of Respondents:* 12,000. *Number of Annual Responses:* 12,000. *Estimated Time per Response:* 2 minutes. *Total Burden Hours:* 400. *Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs:* 0. *Total Annual Costs:* 0 (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing services). *Description:* The purpose of this request for review is for the Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS)to obtain clearance for the Veterans Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS), scheduled to be conducted in August 2007. The proposed supplement questions concerning veterans are shown in Attachment A. As part of the CPS, the supplement will survey individuals ages 17 and over from a nationally representative sample of approximately 60,000 U.S. households. The Veterans supplement is co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA)and the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS). The August 2007 Veterans supplement will provide information on the labor force status of veterans with service-connected disabilities, combat veterans, National Guard and Reserve veterans, and recently discharged veterans. The supplement will also provide data on veterans' participation in various employment and training programs. These data also will be used by the Veterans Employment and Training Service
(VETS)and the Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA)to determine policies that better meet the needs of our Nation's veteran population. Of current concern is the scope of the problems of veterans as well as the effectiveness of veterans' benefit programs in meeting their needs. The CPS demographic and labor force data provide a comprehensive picture that is invaluable in planning Federal programs and formulating policy. Legislation is regularly proposed in Congress concerning veterans; these proposals often use BLS data. Veterans service organizations, as well as academic researchers, use the data to analyze the employment status of various groups of veterans. We expect that approximately 12,000 veterans will participate in the survey. Ira L. Mills, Departmental Clearance Officer/Team Leader. [FR Doc.

E7-10851 Filed 6-5-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-FN-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Bureau of Labor Statistics Proposed Collection; Comment Request ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS)is soliciting comments concerning the proposed reinstatement of the “Current Population Survey
(CPS)Displaced Worker, Job Tenure, and Occupational Mobility Supplement” to be conducted in January 2008. A copy of the proposed information collection request
(ICR)can be obtained by contacting the individual listed below in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice on or before August 6, 2007. ADDRESSES: Send comments to Amy A. Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, Division of Management Systems, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., Washington, DC 20212, 202-691-7628. (This is not a toll free number.) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy A. Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, 202-691-7628. (See ADDRESSES section.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The CPS Displaced Worker, Job Tenure, and Occupational Mobility supplement is conducted biennially and was last collected in January 2006. This supplement will gather information on workers who have lost or left their jobs because their plant or company closed or moved, there was insufficient work for them to do, or their position or shift was abolished. Data will be collected on the extent to which displaced workers received advance notice of job cutbacks or the closing of their plant or business. For those workers who have been reemployed, the supplement will gather data on the types of jobs they found and will compare current earnings with those from the lost job. The incidence and nature of occupational changes in the preceding year will be queried. The survey also probes for the length of time workers (including those who have not been displaced) have been with their current employer. Additional data to be collected include information on the receipt of unemployment compensation, the loss of health insurance coverage, and the length of time spent without a job. Because this supplement is part of the CPS, the same detailed demographic information collected in the CPS will be available on respondents to the supplement. Comparisons will be possible across characteristics such as sex, race, age, and educational attainment of the respondent. The information collected by this survey will be used to determine the size and nature of the population affected by job displacements and the needs and scope of programs serving adult displaced workers. It also will be used to assess employment stability by determining the length of time workers have been with their current employer and estimating the incidence of occupational change over the course of a year. Combining the questions on displacement, job tenure, and occupational mobility will enable analysts to obtain a more complete picture of employment stability. II. Current Action Office of Management and Budget clearance is being sought for the CPS Displaced Worker, Job Tenure, and Occupational Mobility Supplement to the CPS. III. Desired Focus of Comments The Bureau of Labor Statistics 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. • Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses. *Type of Review:* Reinstatement, without change, of a previously approved collection for which approval has expired. *Agency:* Bureau of Labor Statistics. *Title:* CPS Displaced Worker, Job Tenure, and Occupational Mobility Supplement. *OMB Number:* 1220-0104. *Affected Public:* Households. *Total Respondents:* 55,000. *Frequency:* One time. *Total Responses:* 55,000. *Average Time per Response:* 8 minutes. *Estimated Total Burden Hours:* 7,333 hours. *Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):* $0. *Total Burden Cost (operating/maintenance):* $0. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval of the information collection request; they also will become a matter of public record.
