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: 1996 Integrated Coverage Measurement (ICM) Activities.
    Form Number(s): CAPI Instrument, DT-1301, DT-1320, DT-1309(L), DT-
1314, DT-1315, DT-1340, DT-1377.
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 8,541 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 18,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 11 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau requests OMB approval of the 
various activities and instruments associated with conducting ICM 
research in two planned tests -- the 1996 ICM Special Test and the 1996 
American Indian Reservation Test. The potential ICM activities consist 
of an independent listing including a quality assuarnce advance 
listing, a housing unit followup interview including quality assurance 
and evaluation interviews, a person and group quarters interview 
including quality assurance and evaluation interviews, an outmover 
tracing interview including an evaluation interview, and a dual system 
estimation followup interview including an evaluation interview. 
Prompted by the need to improve statistical methodology for estimating 
population coverage during the decennial census, the Bureau of the 
Census developed the ICM approach. The ICM approach was first tested in 
the 1995 Census Test. Results of that test are still under analysis. 
After completing review of the 1995 ICM results, we may determine that 
some of these operations, quality control measures, or evaluations are 
not needed.
    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: September 7, 1995.
Gerald Tache,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and 
Organization.
