Dictionary Of Occupational Titles
Appendix E: Occupational Code Requests
Users of the revised fourth edition DOT may be unable to locate a specific job title, code, or definition in the DOT
or the specific information for a definition in the DOT may appear to be incorrect. This situation could occur for
several reasons including:
1. The job title the user seeks is new or was created as the result of recent technological changes or labor
force pressures.
2. The user seeks job information that may be more specific or may be organized differently than the
information provided in the composite revised DOT definition.
3. The user may not be completely familiar with the taxonomic structure of the revised DOT.
4. Job analysts may have missed occupational information due to technological advances or changes in
that industry.
5. The job title may not have enough workers performing the work to facilitate data collection.
The Occupational Code Request (Form ETA-741) was developed by the OA program to allow users of the revised
DOT a means to provide input to, or obtain from USES OA Field Centers, information on job titles or occupational
definitions they cannot find in the DOT. Users who have searched the DOT for needed information and have
been unsuccessful should contact the nearest Job Service office for assistance in locating an appropriate DOT
classification for the job in question. If the Job Service office cannot supply the needed occupational information,
the DOT user should submit a typed Occupational Code Request (OCR) form to the appropriate OA Field
Center. A copy of the OCR showing action taken by the OAFC will be returned to the user in a timely manner.
If it is not convenient to seek the help of the local Job Service office, you may send your requests for a DOT title
and code directly to an Occupational Analysis Field Center. In your correspondence, please include the OCR
so that the request can be processed correctly. DOT users who find incorrect or inaccurate occupational
information in the DOT may contact the nearest Occupational Analysis Field Center directly.
The OCR procedure, which has been set up to provide supplementary occupational information to users, serves
as an additional method of securing job information for subsequent publications. Classifications established as
a result of an OCR are usable on an interim basis until the job is studied by an occupational analyst and a
definition is published in the DOT.
