    Burden: 3,909,829 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 19,780.
    Average Hours per Response: 198.
    Needs and Uses: The LUCA Program was developed by the U.S. Census 
Bureau to meet the requirements of the Census Address List Improvement 
Act of 1994, Public Law 103-430. Under the voluntary LUCA Program, 
participating governments may review the Census Bureau's confidential 
list of individual living quarters addresses and provide to the Census 
Bureau address additions, corrections, deletions, and/or the 
identification of corrected address counts for census blocks; street 
and

[[Page 33202]]

street attribute updates; and legal boundary updates. Governments 
electing to participate in the LUCA program also provide program 
contact information, certification of their agreement to maintain the 
confidentiality of the Census Bureau address information, responses 
regarding their physical and information technology security 
capabilities, program option and product media preference information, 
shipment inventory information, and certification of their return/
destruction of materials containing confidential data. The program will 
be available to tribal, state, and local governments, and the District 
of Columbia and Puerto Rico (or their designated representatives) in 
areas for which the Census Bureau performs a precensus address 
canvassing operation (excluded are sparsely settled areas in the states 
of Alaska and Maine). The LUCA program includes federally recognized 
American Indian tribes with reservations and/or off-reservation trust 
lands, states, and general-purpose local governments, such as cities 
and townships, for which the Census Bureau reports data. This 
information collection will occur between August 2007 and April 2008.
    The information to be collected in the LUCA Program is essential to 
the mission of the Census Bureau and will directly contribute to the 
successful outcome of Census 2010. The Census Bureau will use the LUCA 
program to help develop the housing unit and group quarters (e.g., 
college dormitory, nursing home, correctional facility, etc.) address 
information that it will need to conduct the 2010 Decennial Census. 
Because tribal, state, and local governments have current knowledge of 
and data about where housing growth and change are occurring in their 
jurisdictions, their input into the overall development of the address 
list for the census makes a vital contribution.
    The Census Bureau requests expedited OMB approval of the LUCA 
Program by July 15, 2007.
    Affected Public: State, local and Tribal governments.
    Frequency: One-time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Section 16.
    OMB Desk Officer: Brian Harris-Kojetin, (202) 395-7314.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
[email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent by July 15, 2007 to Brian Harris-Kojetin, OMB 
Desk Officer either by fax (202-395-7245) or e-mail 
([email protected]).
