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: Survey of American Indian and Alaska Native Government 
Administrative Records.
    Form Number(s): AIANAR.
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 188 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 569.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 20 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau plans to conduct the Survey of 
American Indian and Alaska Native Government Administrative Records as 
part of a program of research and development (R&D) to assist in 
formulating policy and design options for the Year 2000 Decennial 
Census. A major part of this R&D is the investigation of the potential 
of administrative records to improve coverage in the census. The use of 
American Indian and Alaska Native government administrative records has 
the potential to improve coverage by reducing the coverage differential 
on reservations and trust lands and improving coverage in Alaska Native 
villages. All Federally-recognized tribal governments will be contacted 
to provide information about their administrative records. The records 
themselves will not be obtained as part of the survey. Data collection 
for this survey will be conducted under contract by Westat, Inc. 
Information gathered in this survey will help to determine whether 
administrative records held by tribal governments would be effective in 
improving coverage in the Year 2000 Decennial Census.
    Affected Public: State or local governments.
    Frequency: One time only.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Gerald Tache, 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 31, 1994.
