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 Population Survey - June 1995 Marital History and 
Fertility Supplement.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0610.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously

    Number of Respondents: 57,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 5.3 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a survey 
conducted in a sample of approximately 57,000 households monthly 
throughout the United States. Data on demographic and labor force 
characteristics are collected from a sample of households which 
represent the U.S. population. The Bureau of the Census uses the data 
to compile monthly averages of household size and composition, age, 
education, ethnicity, marital status and various other characteristics 
at the U.S. level. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also uses the data in 
its monthly calculations of employment and unemployment. The basic 
monthly questionnaire is periodically supplemented with additional 
questions which address specific needs. The marital history and 
fertility supplement provides data on marital stability and fertility 
and childbearing characteristics of female household members by various 
demographic characteristics. The data collected from this supplement 
are used primarily by government and private analysts to project future 
population growth, to analyze child spacing patterns and marital 
stability, and to assist policymakers in making decisions that are 
affected by changes in family size and composition. Questions on 
marital history have been asked in the CPS every 5 years since 1975. We 
have collected data on fertility and birth expectations in the CPS 
annually since 1971 (with the exception of 1989, 1991, and 1993).
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: See above.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.

collection should be sent to Maria Gonzalez, OMB Desk Officer, room
