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: Transportation Annual Survey (TAS).
    Form Number(s): B-514, B-515, B-524, B-525, B-530, B-531, B-532, B-
533.
    Agency Approval Number: none.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 10,908 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 4,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 2 hours 45 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The new Transportation Annual Survey (TAS) replaces 
and expands upon the existing Motor Freight Transportation and 
Warehousing Survey (WATS) that covers the trucking and public 
warehousing industries. The new TAS also includes transportation by 
waterway and segments of the busing industry, specifically intercity 
and rural bus transportation, bus charter service, and terminal and 
service facilities. In addition, Census is introducing new data items 
to the trucking forms, which will enable them to publish total miles 
traveled, percentage of miles traveled with loaded or empty vehicles, 
weight of shipments, and revenue from transborder shipments. For the 
first time, this survey will provide data for over 60 percent of the 
transportation sector. In future years Census plans to expand this 
survey to cover all remaining transportation industries in Division E 
of the SIC.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit institutions.
    Frequency: Annually.
    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)
