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: 1997 Annual Demographic Survey - Supplement to the Current 
Population Survey.
    Form Number(s): CPS-580 & 580(SP), CPS-676 & 676(SP).
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0354.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of an expired 
collection.
    Burden: 20,410 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 50,500.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 24 and a half minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Bureau of the Census conducts the Annual 
Demographic Survey (ADS) every year in March as a supplement to the 
Current Population Survey (CPS). The Bureau of the Census, the Bureau 
of Labor Statistics, and the Department of Health and Human Services 
sponsor this supplement. In the ADS, we collect information on work 
experience, migration, personal income and noncash benefits, household 
noncash benefits, and race. The work experience items in the ADS 
provide a unique measure of the dynamic nature of the labor force as 
viewed over a one-year period. The income data from the ADS are used by 
social planners, economists, Government officials, and market 
researchers to gauge the economic well-being of the Nation as a whole, 
and selected population groups of interest. Researchers evaluate March 
income data not only to determine poverty levels, but also to determine 
whether Government programs are reaching eligible households. The 
questions for the 1997 supplement will be the same as those asked in 
1996 with some new items and some changes to existing items.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 USC, Section 182 & Title 29 USC, Sections 
1-9.
    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: November 20, 1996.
