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: American Travel Survey.
    Form Number(s): ATS-8(L), 9(L), 9(L).1, 9(L).2, 9(L).3, 10.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0792.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 148,688 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 69,600.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 28 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau will conduct the American Travel 
Survey (ATS) as part of the larger Census of Transportation. This 
survey will provide information on the interregional flows of passenger 
travel. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) of the Department 
of Transportation (DOT) has contracted with the Census Bureau to 
conduct the sampling, data collection, and processing operations for 
the ATS. The BTS and DOT will use the data to develop and analyze 
legislation affecting billions of dollars in user charges, 
infrastructure investments, new technology initiatives, and 
productivity of the transportation industry. This revision is necessary 
to implement revised data collection and reinterview instruments based 
on pretesting done under the Census Bureau's generic clearance for 
questionnaire pretesting and also to document changes in the survey's 
reinterview methodology. We are submitting this revision using an 
abbreviated supporting statement because much of what was in the 
original request for clearance remains unchanged and we are not asking 
for an extension of the survey's current expiration date.

    Affected Public: Individuals or households.

    Frequency: Quarterly.

    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.

    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: December 2, 1994.

Gerald Tache,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and 
Organization.
