DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit 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: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Survey of Construction— 

Questionnaire for Building Permit 

Official. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0125. 

Form Number(s): SOC–QBPO. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden Hours: 225. 

Number of Respondents: 900. 

Average Hours per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collected on the SOC–QBPO is 

necessary to carry out the sampling for 

the Survey of Housing Starts, Sales and 

Completions (OMB number 0607–0110), 

also known as the Survey of 

Construction (SOC). Government 

agencies and private companies use 

statistics from SOC to monitor and 

evaluate the large and dynamic housing 

construction industry. 

The SOC–QBPO is an electronic 

questionnaire. Census Bureau field 

representatives (FRs) use Computer 

Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) 

to collect the data. The FRs use the 

SOC–QBPO to obtain information on the 

operating procedures of a permit office. 

This enables them to locate, classify, 

list, and sample building permits for 

residential construction. These permits 

are used as the basis for the sample 

selected for SOC. The Census Bureau 

also uses the information to verify and 

update the geographic coverage of 

permit offices. 

Failure to collect this information 

would make it difficult, if not 

impossible, to classify accurately and 

sample building permits for the SOC. 

The SOC produces data for two 

principal economic indicators: New 

Residential Construction (housing starts 

and housing completions) and New 

Residential Sales. Information from the 

SOC is also used in the estimation of the 

value of new residential construction 

put in place for the Census Bureau’s 

data on construction spending. 

Affected Public: State, local or Tribal 

Government. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., 

Section 182.

notice to Brian Harris-Kojetin, OMB 

Desk Officer either by fax (202–395–
