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: Congressional Data User Survey.
    Form Number(s): 628, 628(L), 630, 630(L).
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0789.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 79 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 952.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 5 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: In October 1993, the Census Bureau, with approval 
from OMB, surveyed all members of Congress to determine how we can 
better meet their needs for Census Bureau data. We later obtained OMB 
clearance to survey all Congressional committees for the same purpose. 
However, plans for surveying Congressional committees were postponed. 
The Census Bureau now requests OMB clearance to again survey all 
current members of Congress and the various committees and 
subcommittees of Congress. The survey will identify which Congressional 
members and committees/subcommittees use or do not use our data, how 
the data are used, which would like a briefing on how to use Census 
Bureau data, and the medium they prefer, i.e. published reports, CD 
ROM, internet. We plan to conduct this survey every two years as new 
members are elected and new committees/subcommittees are formed. This 
information is needed to determine how the Census Bureau can revise and 
improve the current program it uses to disseminate data to members and 
committees/subcommittees of Congress.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Biannually (every 2 years).
    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: September 1, 1995.

Gerald Tache,

Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and 
Organization.
