DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


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: 1996 Community Census.
    Form Number(s): DT-1A, 1B, 1(E), 1(E)SUPP, 10, 20A, 31, 14B.
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 1,203 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 11,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 7 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau plans to conduct the 1996 
Community Census to test new and improved methodologies for reducing 
the differentials in the census among the various components of the 
population and for containing costs associated with conducting a 
census. The test will be conducted on two American Indian Reservations 
and in 6 census tracts in Chicago, Illinois. Objectives are to test the 
Integrated Coverage Measurement Program in a reengineered census 
setting and compare rostering strategies for improving within-household 
coverage. We will use respondent friendly forms to maximize mail 
response. We also plan to implement and evaluate a partnership 
agreement with tribal governments and expand the Tribal Liaison's role 
to include involvement in census operational activities.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
