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: 1995 Census Test - Prelist.
    Form Number(s): DG-101A, DG-101B, DG-169.
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 1,340 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 52,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 1.5 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau is planning to test various 
methods for address list compilation and update in conjunction with the 
1995 Census Test. The Census Bureau uses two primary methods to create 
and update its address files: precanvass and prelist. In the urban test 
areas, the Census Bureau will create a Master Address File (MAF) by 
extracting addresses from the Census Bureau's 1990 Address Control File 
(ACF) and updating the extract using the United States Postal Service 
Delivery Sequence File. Then the Census Bureau will update the address 
list during the precanvass operation. For the rural test sites, the 
Census Bureau will create an address file through a prelist operation; 
the address list will be used in the subsequent update/leave operation 
to deliver the census questionnaires. During prelist, census 
enumerators canvass an area and list all housing units within the 
assigned area. The prelist operation is designed to identify and 
collect complete physical location address, mailing address, and name 
of householder for all living quarters. This will enable an enumerator 
to return to the living quarters to update the address and to deliver a 
questionnaire during the update/leave operation. It will also provide 
the information needed to conduct the local government review of the 
census address list.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: One-time only.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.

    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.
