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: Boundary and Annexation Survey.
    Form Number(s): BAS-1, 1A, 2, 2A, 3, 3A, 4, 33L, 33LM.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0151.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 10,930 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 9,870.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 1 hour and 7 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau conducts the Boundary and 
Annexation Survey (BAS) annually to collect information on the creation 
of newly incorporated municipalities and minor civil divisions (MCDs), 
the dissolution of incorporated municipalities and MCDs, and changes to 
the boundaries of counties, incorporated municipalities, and MCDs. The 
survey provides accurate identification of geographic areas for the 
decennial and economic censuses and support for the annual population 
estimates program. It is also used to update the municipal, MCD, and 
county inventory for the Federal Information Processing Standards 
(FIPS) program at the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Institute 
of Standards and Technology. Other Federal Agencies use BAS results in 
their legislative programs. This request is for a revision only to the 
universe of respondents to the BAS. We are increasing the number to 
support the economic and decennial census.
    Affected Public: State, local or tribal government.
    Frequency: Annually.
    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) 
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.
