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: U.S. Census Bureau.
    Title: 2002 Census of Governments Local Government Directory 
Survey.
    Form Number(s): G-26, G-28, G-29, G-30, G-32, G-33.
    OMB Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 22,500 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 90,000.
    Average Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Local Government Directory Survey will be used 
to update the universe list of public sector entities for the 2002 
Census of Governments. Each of the 90,000 county governments, 
consolidated city-county governments, independent cities, towns, 
townships, special district governments, and public school systems 
designated for the census will be sent an appropriate form. Respondents 
will be asked to verify or correct the name and mailing address of the 
government, answer the questions on the form, and return the form.
    The 2002 Census of Governments Local Government Directory Survey 
consists of three basic content areas: government organization, 
government finance, and government employment. For government 
organization we will ask for authorizing legislation, incorporation 
date, fiscal year ending date, area served, services provided, web 
address, and corrections to the name and address of the government. In 
addition we will ask if special districts have taxing powers, if 
general purpose governments and special districts own and operate the 
services they are responsible for providing, if school districts 
operate schools, and if the government conducts e-government 
transactions. For government finance we will ask for total revenue, 
total expenditure, and total debt. For government employment we will 
ask for full-time employees, part-time employees, and annual payroll.
    The 2002 Census of Governments Local Government Directory Survey 
data collection forms request information that is substantially similar 
to that requested on the 1992 and 1997 Census of Government forms.
    Affected Public: State, local, or Tribal government.
    Frequency: Every five years.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Section 161.
    OMB Desk Officer: Susan Schechter, (202) 395-5103.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Madeleine Clayton, Departmental Paperwork 
Clearance Officer, (202) 482-3129, Department of Commerce, Room 6086,

    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to Susan Schechter, OMB Desk Officer, Room 10201, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
