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: MAF and TIGER Linkage Activities.
Form Number(s): Will vary by activity.
Agency Approval Number: None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden: 1,195 hours.
Number of Respondents: 32,103.
Avg Hours Per Response: Two and one half minutes. [[Page 21791]] 
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau requests OMB approval for a generic 
clearance to undertake a number of activities it plans to conduct to 
create and update its Master Address File (MAF) and maintain the 
linkage between the MAF and the Topologically Integrated Geographic 
Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) data base of address ranges and 
associated geographic information. These activities will be conducted 
on a schedule to support preparations for the 2000 decennial census, 
but also will support the address matching and geocoding requirements 
of the proposed Continuous Measurement program, the population 
estimates program, the economic and agriculture censuses, and the 
current demographic surveys. This clearance will allow the Census 
Bureau to focus its limited resources on operational planning and 
procedural development activities. The activities to be conducted under 
this clearance are: Listing, Update/Leave, MAF Reconciliation, 
Canvassing, Block Splits, Field Verification, Master Address File 
Quality Improvement Program (MAF QIP), the Address List Availability 
Survey (ALAS), and the Rural Address Reference Availability Survey 
(RARAS). The Census Bureau has conducted each category of activity (or 
similar ones) previously and the burden remains relatively unchanged 
from one time to another.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: One-time.
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 27, 1995.
Gerald Tache,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and 
Organization.
