Agency Form Under Review by the Office of Management and Budget

    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: 1995 Census Test - Integrated Coverage Measurement (Outmover 
Tracing Questionnaire).
    Form Number(s): DG-1340, DG-1378(L).
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 523 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 1,569.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 20 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau has developed an Integrated 
Coverage Measurement (ICM) approach to be tested during the 1995 Census 
Test. ICM will utilize a separately sampled group of blocks within the 
1995 Census Test sites which will be independently listed before the 
census test is conducted. After the census test, an ICM Person 
Interview will be conducted at the same housing units that were 
previously independently listed to develop an independent roster. For 
households where the Census Day (March 4) residents have moved out, 
Census will attempt to obtain roster and location information for the 
previous residents by proxy. Census will administer the Outmover 
Tracing Questionnaire to those outmovers we are 
able to contact at their current address in person or by telephone. If 
they cannot conduct an interview with outmovers, they will use the 
proxy information obtained earlier. Census will then reconcile 
differences between the independent roster obtained during the person 
and outmover tracing interviews and the census test results. This 
reconciliation will allow Census to measure their coverage of persons 
in missed housing units and coverage of persons missed within housing 
units enumerated in the census test.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, [phone].
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Gerald Tache, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, (202) 
482-3271, 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 to Maria Gonzalez, OMB Desk Officer, room 
10201, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: January 18, 1995.
Gerald Tache,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and 
Organization.
