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: Field Representative Exit Questionnaire.
    Form Number(s): BC-1294.
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 13 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 160.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 5 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: In a continuous effort to devise policy and 
practice aimed at reducing turnover among field representatives (FR)s--
our field interviewing staff--the Census Bureau needs to collect data 
on the reasons FRs leave the Bureau. An exit questionnaire will help 
the Census Bureau in identifying specific reasons for the turnovers. 
Based on the survey results, the Census Bureau can develop both general 
and specific plans to reduce turnover. Approximately every month, a 
sample of one-half of all FRs voluntarily resigning within the period 
will be contacted by telephone to complete a questionnaire. 
Interviewers hired to conduct the census enumeration will not be 
included in the sample. Similar data was last gathered in 1992. Since 
computers have recently become part of the FRs' tools the questionnaire 
now incorporates questions how on the use of computers may affect their 
decisions on continued employment.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    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 
3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: August 15, 1994.
Gerald Tache,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and 
Organization.
