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: Current Population Survey, Voting and Registration
Supplement.
OMB Control Number: 0607-0466.
Form Number(s): There are no forms. We conduct all interviews on
computers.
Type of Request: Regular Submission.
Number of Respondents: 52,000.
Average Hours per Response: 1.5 minutes.
Burden Hours: 1,300.
Needs and Uses: This survey has provided statistical information
for tracking historical trends of voter and nonvoter characteristics in
each Presidential or Congressional election since 1964. The data
collected from the November supplement relates demographic
characteristics (age, sex, race, education, occupation, and income) to
voting and nonvoting behavior. The November CPS supplement is the only
source of data that provides a comprehensive set of voter and nonvoter
characteristics distinct from independent surveys, media polls, or
other outside agencies. Federal, state, and local election officials
use these data to formulate policies relating to the voting and
registration process. College institutions, political party committees,
research groups, and other private organizations also use the voting
and registration data.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: Biennial.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. Section 141 and 182; and Title 29,
U.S.C., Sections 1-9.
This information collection request may be viewed at
www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce
collections currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to [email protected] or fax to (202)395-5806.
Dated: June 27, 2016.
