 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 - Special Place Facility

collection for which approval has expired.
    Burden: 10 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 40.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Planning is currently underway for the 1996 
Community Census, which is an integral part of the overall planning 
process for the 2000 decennial census. The Census Bureau must provide 
everyone in our test sites the opportunity to be counted, including 
individuals living in group quarters (GQs) (student dorms, shelters, 
group homes, etc.) and in housing units (HUs) that are part of/or 
associated with special places (SPs). We are conducting this operation 
by phoning each SP and conducting interviews to identify and collect 
updated information about the GQs and HUs at each SP. This operation 
replaces the Special Place Prelist field operation conducted in 
previous censuses. The goal of this operation is to make improvements 
over the 1990 Special Place Prelist operation. We expect to improve the 
quality/accuracy of assigning the correct GQ type code and the 
associated geographic coding compared to the 1990 census Special Place 
Prelist operation. We also expect to apply some new/improved GQ type 
codes. We plan to make additional modifications to our questionnaire, 
instructions, and letters based on results of using these forms in the 
1996 Community Census.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for profit, Individuals or 
households, Not-for-profit institutions.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: Jerry Coffey, (202) 395-7314.

    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.
