Office of Management and Budget Clearance

The O*NET project, a multi-year data collection program, has approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB # 1205-0421). Initial approval was provided in 2002.

In 2005, the O*NET project sought OMB approval for an extension of three years for the data collection effort. As part of of the clearance process, public comments were sought on the data collection. A Federal Register Notice, published on June 3, 2005, announced the availability to the public of the O*NET "Information Collection Request" (ICR). The 60 day public comment period concluded on August 2, 2005. The final ICR, including a summary of comments received from the public, was subsequently forwarded to OMB. A second Federal Register Notice, published on October 6, 2005, announced submission of the final ICR to OMB. OMB approved this three-year extension on December 9, 2005.
