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: Current Population Survey - November 1994 Voting and 
Registration Supplement.
    Form Number(s): Voting and registration items included with CPS 
automated instrument.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0466.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection 
for which approval has expired.
    Burden: 1,140 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 57,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 1.2 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The November Voting and Registration Supplement to 
the Current Population Survey (CPS) is collected once every two years. 
Data are collected on voter and nonvoter behavior and correlated with 
demographic characteristics. We will collect this data as part of the 
November 1994 CPS through a series of supplemental items which will be 
part of the automated CPS instrument. The supplement yields statistics 
on voter and nonvoter characteristics and current voter trends which 
are useful for election officials who formulate policies relating to 
the voting and registration process. These data enable policymakers to 
keep up-to-date with issues such as changes in voter participation 
based on such characteristics as age, sex, race, ethnicity, and 
educational attainment. Data are used by colleges, political party 
committees, research groups, and other private organizations.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Biennially.
    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: May 26, 1994.
