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--Integrated Coverage Measurement (ICM) 
Person Interview.
    Form Number(s): DG-1309(L).
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0802.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 8,570 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 22,411.
    Average Hours Per Response: 18 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Prompted by the need to improve estimation 
techniques during the decennial census, the Census Bureau has developed 
the Integrated Coverage Measurement (ICM) approach which will be tested 
during the 1995 Census Test. The ICM approach will utilize a separately 
sampled group of blocks within the 1995 Census Test sites which will be 
independently listed and enumerated. The independent enumeration will 
be reconciled to the census test results. This reconciliation will 
allow us to measure our coverage of persons in missed housing units and 
coverage of persons missed within housing units enumerated in the 
census test. This revision request is for clearance of an Evaluation 
Interview which will measure and evaluate errors caused by either 
enumerators or respondents during ICM enumerations. The Evaluation 
Interview will be identical to the ICM interview and will be conducted 
with a sample of persons who were enumerated during ICM. Information 
gathered will allow the Census Bureau to evaluate the ICM final 
coverage estimates.
    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) 
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.

    Dated: April 17, 1995.
Gerald Tache,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and 
Organization.
