DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will submit 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: Census Employment Inquiry.
OMB Control Number: 0607-0139.
Form Number(s): BC-170A, BC-170B, BC-170D.
Type of Request: Extension of Previously Approved Collection.
Number of Respondents: 65,000.
Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes.

Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau proposed using a revised
employment form, however based upon program needs we have decided not
to use the revised form at this time. We will use the existing form for
our recruitment needs in 2015 and explore revising the employment
inquiry form in the future.
Job applicants complete the BC-170 (A, B, and D) before, or at the
time, they are tested. Selecting officials will review the information
shown on the form and determine the applicant's employment suitability.
Failure to collect this information could result in the hiring of
unsuitable and/or unqualified workers.
Information quality is an integral part of the pre-dissemination
review of the information disseminated by the Census Bureau (fully
described in the Census Bureau's Information Quality Guidelines).
Information quality is also integral to the information collections
conducted by the Census Bureau and is incorporated into the clearance
process required by the Paperwork Reduction Act.
