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: Current Industrial Reports Program, Bed and Bath Furnishings 
(formerly Sheets, Pillowcases, and Towels).
    Form Number(s): MQ23X.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0650.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 282 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 94.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 45 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau conducts this quarterly survey to 
collect data on the production, quantity, value of shipments, 
inventories, and unified sales orders of bed and bath furnishings. 
Census requests only data needed by the Office of Textiles and Apparel 
(OTEXA) to monitor several textile categories in multifiber agreements. 
OTEXA uses the data to support specific concerns and trade limitations 
in these categories and to provide the basis for developing a U.S. 
position for negotiations with countries with whom trade agreements are 
about to expire and to initiate appropriate action when exports from 
uncontrolled countries surge. The Committee for the Implementation of 
Textile Agreements, of which OTEXA is a part, uses the data to 
determine the health of the U.S. multifiber industry and to measure 
foreign penetration. Other Federal agencies, businesses, and trade 
organizations use the data to analyze and forecast long-term growth in 
the industry.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Quarterly.
    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 
10201, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
