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.
    Form Number(s): DG-1A, 1A(S), 2A, 2A(S), 2B, 2B(S), 2C, 2C(S), 1E, 
1E(S), 10, 10(S), 10(C), 10(V), 10(T), 15A, 15B, 15C, 20A, 20A(S), 31.
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 45,000 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 306,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 9 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Bureau of the Census will conduct the 1995 
Census Test as part of a program of research and development to assist 
in formulating policy and design options for the Year 2000 Decennial 
Census. The test builds upon findings from six other National Census 
Tests conducted during 1992/94. Those tests evaluated the effects of 
questionnaire design and mailing treatment alternatives upon response 
rates, as well as the usefulness of telephones for reporting census 
information. The 1995 Census Test is designed to measure the cost, 
accuracy, and operational feasibility of many of the fundamentally 
different design and procedural options being considered for the 2000 
census. Specifically, the test seeks to determine if the proposed 
fundamental changes support the test's most important objectives: 
improving coverage--especially reducing the differential undercount, 
and containing the cost of the census.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    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)

    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: July 26, 1994.
