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: 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.
