Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    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: Current Population Survey--April 1996 Supplement on Child 
Support Payments.
    Form Number(s): None
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection; EMERGENCY REVIEW.
    Burden: 196 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 11,750.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 1 minute.
    Needs and Uses: The Bureau of the Census requests approval to add a 
separate set of questions about child support expenditures at the end 
of the existing April supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS) 
on child support received which has been separately cleared by OMB. The 
information collected will assist U.S. Government social agencies in 
helping refine the concept of income resources available to families 
and is one aspect of the Government's large-scale investigation into 
new methods of determining poverty.
    The Census Bureau is submitting this request for emergency review. 
We need clearance by April 1 so that the supplemental questions may be 
added to the automated CPS instrument and interviewers can be given 
training before the start of interviewing on April 14. Emergency review 
has become necessary because of a delay in submitting this request 
caused by the Government shutdowns earlier in the year. We have taken 
all practicable steps to consult with the public and other Federal 
agencies prior to making this submission, including publishing a notice 
in the Federal Register on January 22, 1996 making public our plans to 
submit this request.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Jerry Coffey, (202) 395-7314.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Linda Engelmeier, Acting DOC Forms Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-3272, 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 within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to Jerry Coffey, OMB Desk Officer, room 10201, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: March 7, 1996.
Linda Engelmeier,
Acting Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and 
Organization.
