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: School Enrollment Report.
    Form Number(s): P-4.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0459.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 20 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 40.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 30 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau sends the School Enrollment 
Report annually to the 40 state departments of education that do not 
publish enrollment data early enough in the year for the Bureau to use 
their published reports. Information requested includes fall public and 
nonpublic enrollment by grade for the state and counties. In six 
states, we collect year-end enrollment. The Census Bureau uses school 
enrollment data in preparing estimates of state population. State 
population estimates are used by dozens of Federal agencies for 
allocating Federal program funds, as bases for rates of occurrences, 
and as input for Federal surveys. State and local governments, 
businesses, and the general public use state population estimates for 
planning and other informational uses.
    Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Title 13, USC, Sections 181 and 182.
    OMB Desk Officer: Nancy Kirkendall, (202) 395-7313.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Linda Engelmeier, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, 
(202) 482-3272, Department of Commerce, room 5327, 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 Nancy Kirkendall, OMB Desk Officer, room 10201, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
