    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0464.

    Burden: 6,400 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 48,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 8 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau is requesting clearance for the 
collection of data concerning the School Enrollment Supplement to be 
conducted in conjunction with the October 1996 CPS. The Bureau of the 
Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) sponsor the basic 
annual school enrollment questions, which have been collected annually 
in the CPS for over 25 years. The National Center for Education 
Statistics (NCES) sponsors the inclusion of the additional questions on 
summer school enrollment. This survey provides information on public/
private elementary and secondary school enrollment, and characteristics 
of private school students and their families, which is used for 
tracking historical trends and for policy planning and support. This 
year we will also ask questions about summer school enrollment and 
other organized activities in which the child participated during the 
previous summer. This survey is the only source of national data on the 
age distribution and family characteristics of college students, and 
the only source of demographic data on preprimary school enrollment. As 
part of the Federal Government's efforts to collect data and provide 
timely information to local governments for policymaking decisions, the 
survey provides national trends in employment and progress in school 
The data are used by Federal agencies; state, county, and city 
governments; and private organizations responsible for education to 
formulate and implement education policy. They are also used by 
employers and analysts to anticipate the composition of the labor force 
in the future.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
