SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The Census Bureau, in preparing a Master Address File (MAF) for the 
2000 Decennial Census and on-going census surveys, is collecting data 
on the prevalence of non-city style addresses and whether governments 
are establishing or planning to establish city-style addresses by 1998. 
The Census Bureau will use this information to make decisions about 
2000 decennial census enumeration and processing methodologies. 
Information from the survey also will accelerate their city style 
addressing in conjunction with the US Postal Service. The information 
for this survey will come from county personnel in the non-New England 
states and Minor Civil Division personnel in the New England states. 
The regional office geographers will conduct the survey by telephone 
from the regional offices. This is done under authority of Title 13, 
United States Code, Section 141 and 193.

II. Method of Collection

    The data will be collected via telephone interviews.
