Agency Form Under Review by the Office of Management and Budget

    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
clearance the following proposal for collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of the Census.
    Title: Questionnaire for Building Permit Official.
    Form Number(s): SOC-903.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0125.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 209 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 835.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Bureau of the Census uses the Questionnaire for 
Building Permit Official in conjunction with the Survey of Housing 
Starts, Sales, and Completions (OMB number 0607-0110). Data collected 
in the Survey of Housing Starts are used to produce statistics on 
residential construction and are needed by economic policymakers to 
monitor this sector of the economy. Census field interviewers use the 
Questionnaire for Building Permit Official to obtain information on the 
operating procedures of a sample of the building permit issuing offices 
in the United States in order to locate, classify, list, and sample 
building permits for residential construction. This information is used 
to carry out the sampling for the Survey of Housing Starts and to 
verify and update the geographic coverage of permit offices. In 
calendar years 1995-96, we plan to automate the data collection by 
replacing the paper questionnaire with laptop computers.
    Affected Public: State or local governments.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Edward Michals, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, 
(202) 482-3271, Department of Commerce, room 5312, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Maria Gonzalez, OMB Desk Officer, room 
3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: March 14, 1994.
Edward Michals,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and 
Organization.
