[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 244 (Monday, December 21, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 70387] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-33710] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: Bureau of the Census. Title: Address Listing for the American Community Survey Area Frame. Form Number(s): ACS-280, ACS-290. Agency Approval Number: Not available. Type of Request: New collection. Burden: 1,267 hours. Number of Respondents: 38,000 individuals or households. Avg Hours Per Response: 2 minutes. Needs and Uses: The American Community Survey (ACS) is a monthly household survey that the Census Bureau is developing to collect and produce data we historically collect during the decennial census. The Census Bureau began the ACS in late 1995 in four test sites and has expanded the program every year since. The Census Bureau plans to continue expanding the ACS and put the ACS in place nationally in 2003. Most of the survey's sample addresses are selected from the Master Address File (MAF). There are some areas for which a MAF will not be created until the time of the decennial census. These areas are list/ enumerate areas, meaning that Bureau staff will list addresses at the time of the decennial enumeration. These types of areas will be in the ACS for the first time in 2000. In order to conduct the ACS in 2000- 2002 for these areas, Census Bureau employees called ``listers'' will compile a list of addresses in a sample of blocks in the list/enumerate areas of counties that have been selected for the 2000-2002 ACS. Most of the listing activities will be completed during 1999, but there may be some areas which will require listing in 2000 and 2001. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Frequency: One-time request. Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory. Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, Section 182. OMB Desk Officer: Nancy Kirkendall, (202) 395-7313. Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained by calling or writing Linda Engelmeier, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, (202) 482-3272, Department of Commerce, room 5312, 14th and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to Nancy Kirkendall, OMB Desk Officer, room 10201, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503. Dated: December 15, 1998. Linda Engelmeier, Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer. [FR Doc. 98-33710 Filed 12-18-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-07-P
