DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
U.S. Census Bureau
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.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Generic Clearance for Internet Nonprobability Panel
Pretesting.
OMB Control Number: 0607-0978.
Form Number(s): TBD.
Type of Request: Extension of a Currently Approved Collection.
Number of Respondents: 60,000.
Average Hours per Response: 0.167.
Burden Hours: 10,000.
Needs and Uses: The information collected in this program of
developing and testing questionnaires will be used by staff from the
Census Bureau and sponsoring agencies to evaluate and improve the
quality of the data in the surveys and censuses that are ultimately
conducted. Because the questionnaires being tested under this clearance
are still in the process of development, the data that result from
these collections are not considered official statistics of the Census
Bureau or other Federal agencies. Data will be included in research
reports prepared for sponsors inside and outside of the Census Bureau.
The results may also be prepared for presentations related to survey
methodology at professional meetings or publications in professional
journals. Since the submission of the 60 day notice, we have changed
both the title and burden estimate for this collection. At the 60-day
notice, the collection was entitled ``Generic Clearance for Internet
Nonprobability Panel Pretesting and Qualitative Survey Methods
Testing.'' To more accurately reflect the intended collection, we are
renaming this collection ``Generic Clearance for Medium-Scale
Pretesting.'' We are requesting an increase in hours from 8,334 to
16,900 annually because we incorporated the pretesting needs for the
2020 Census communications campaign into this request.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Data collection for this project is authorized
under the authorizing legislation for the questionnaire being tested.
This may be Title 13, Sections 131, 141, 161, 181, 182, 193, and 301
for Census Bureau-

sponsored surveys, or other corresponding collection authorities for
surveys sponsored by other Federal agencies. We do not now know what
other titles will be referenced, since we do not know what survey
questionnaires will be pretested during the course of the clearance.
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.

Departmental PRA Lead, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
