 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: Survey of Public Attitudes Toward Administrative Records 
Use.
    Form Number(s): None -- Computer assisted telephone interview.
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 300 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 1,200.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau is testing the use of 
administrative records in the Census 2000 to estimate the 
characteristics of nonresponding households, supplement data for 
respondents that return incomplete forms, and estimate the number of 
persons missed within households. To enhance the usability of 
administrative record information, the Census Bureau is also 
considering asking respondents in the Census 2000 to provide their 
Social Security number (SSN). This survey asks respondents to rate 
their feelings and attitudes toward our use of administrative records 
and collecting SSN in the census. Knowledge about the public's feelings 
and attitudes will help the Census Bureau form privacy policy, achieve 
effective promotion and outreach, and determine language for public use 
forms.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Jerry Coffey, [phone].
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Linda Engelmeier, Acting DOC Forms Clearance 
Officer, [phone], 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 Jerry Coffey, OMB Desk Officer, Room 10201, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: April 29, 1996.

Acting Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and
