DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


 Submission For OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce (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 - Integrated Coverage Measurement 
(ICM) Activities (CAPI Person Interview, CAPI Person QA Interview, 
Outmover Tracing, and Dual System Estimation Follow up).
    Form Number(s): CAPI Person Interview, CAPI Person QA Interview, 
DT-1301, DT-1301A, DT-1340, DT-1309(L), DT-31.
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 4,903 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 12,000 housing units and 120 persons.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 18 and \1/2\ minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau requests OMB approval of the 
activities and instruments associated with conducting the interviewing 
and follow up phases of ICM research in the 1996 Community Census. 
Prompted by the need to improve statistical methodology for estimating 
population coverage during the decennial census, the Bureau of the 
Census developed the ICM approach. In ICM, census blocks are separately 
enumerated to obtain an independent roster. The independent roster is 
then compared to the census results to measure coverage of housing 
units and of persons in missed housing units and coverage of persons in 
housing units included in the census. The ICM approach was first tested 
in the 1995 Census Test. ICM Research in the 1996 Community Census will 
expand

upon results from that earlier test. The activities and forms for the 
initial stages of ICM research during the 1996 Community Census 
(independent listing and reconciliation follow up) were approved 
previously by OMB.

    Frequency: One-time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
