DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

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: Special Population Censuses.
    Form Number(s): SC-19, SC-19AR.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0368.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 67,083 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 700,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 5.75 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The special census program is a service offered and 
performed contractually by the Census Bureau for states, counties, and 
other governmental units which require current population data between 
decennial censuses. Since many states distribute funds based on current 
population statistics, many local jurisdictions use the special census 
data to apply for state funds. The Census Bureau also uses special 
census data as a part of the Bureau's local population estimates 
calculations. Census requests approval to notify the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) of any [[Page 4883]] question changes and/
or additions to individual special census questionnaires 30 days prior 
to the scheduled census date. In most cases, changes would be for 
slight wording variations and would not increase the burden per 
response. Questions added would be special purpose questions, as 
requested by the contracting area. Census would inform OMB of the 
revised and added questions in a letter to be forwarded to OMB no less 
than 30 days prior to the census day of the special census in question.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: As requested.
    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 Gerald Tache, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, (202)
