State agencies must return ETA 741
The Department of Labor is seeking approval for Form ETA 741 (Occupational Code Assignment) and lists State Workforce Agencies as the affected public.

The form carries OMB Control Number 1205-0137 and DOL seeks authorization for three (3) years; comments are due May 14, 2025.
Form provides O*NET-SOC job codes

The form is intended to provide compatibility and standardization in occupational coding within the O*NET-SOC framework.
