SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) includes a sample of respondents who were born in the years 1980 through
1984 and lived in the United States when the survey began in

  1997. The primary objective of the survey is to study the transition from full-time schooling to the establishment of careers
  and families. The longitudinal focus of the survey requires information to be collected about the same individuals over many
  years in order to trace their education, training, work experience, fertility, income, and program participation. One of the
  goals of the Department of Labor is to produce and disseminate timely, accurate, and relevant information about the U.S. labor
  force. BLS contributes to this goal by gathering information about the labor force and labor market and disseminating it to
  policymakers and the public so that participants in those markets can make more informed, and thus more efficient, choices.
  Research based on the NLSY97 contributes to the formation of national policy in the areas of education, training, employment
  programs, and school-to-work transitions. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published
  in the 
  Federal Register
  on February 27, 2025 (90 FRN 10831).

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 the OMB approves it and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally
be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
