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: 2010 Census Count Question Resolution (CQR) Program.
    Form Number(s): D-18(L)CQR-1, D-18(L)CQR-1(S), D-18(L)CQR-A, D-
18(L)CQR-B, D-18(L)CQR-C, D-18(L)CQR-D, D-18(L)CQR-E, D-18(L)CQR-F, D-
18(L)CQR-G, D-18(L)CQR-H, D-18(L)CQR-I, D-18(L)CQR-J, D-2010B CQR, D-
2010B CQR(S).
    OMB Control Number: 0607-0879.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection.
    Burden Hours: 7,800.
    Number of Respondents: 1,500.
    Average Hours per Response: 5.2 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The primary need for implementation of the CQR 
Program is to ensure a way for state, local and tribal area governments 
to challenge the accuracy of the counts of 2010 Census housing units 
and group quarters (GQs). The CQR Program is not a mechanism or process 
to challenge or revise the population counts sent to the President by 
December 31, 2010, which are used to apportion the U.S. House of 
Representatives. The Count Question Resolution (CQR) Program will 
process requests for corrections to the 2010 Census count of housing 
units and/or GQs based on three types of challenges (1) boundary, (2) 
geocoding, and (3) coverage. The Census Bureau will accept challenges 
between June 1, 2011, and June 1, 2013.
    The Census Bureau will make all corrections on the basis of 
appropriate documentation provided by the challenging entities and 
through research of the official 2010 Census records by the Census 
Bureau. The Census Bureau will not collect additional data for the 
enumeration of living quarters through the CQR Program. The Census 
Bureau will respond to all challenges and will notify all affected 
governmental units of any corrections to their official counts as a 
result of a CQR Program decision.
    Corrections made to the population and housing unit counts by this 
program will result in the issuance of new official 2010 Census counts 
to the officials of governmental units affected. These corrections may 
be used by the governmental units for future programs requiring 
official 2010 Census data, including requests for federal or state 
funding, grants, and other needs that are based on the population and/
or housing and group quarters counts within a governmental unit. The 
Census Bureau will use these corrections to modify the decennial census 
file for use in annual postcensal estimates beginning in December 2012, 
and to create the errata information we will make available to the 
public on the Census Bureau's American FactFinder Web site at http://factfinder.census.gov.
    The Census Bureau will issue an official 2010 Census CQR Program 
announcement in the Federal Register after we receive OMB approval to 
conduct the program. This announcement will provide full details to 
governmental entities wishing to participate in the 2010 CQR Program. 
Additionally, we will mail information about the CQR Program to the 
highest elected officials at all levels of state, Municipio, and Tribal 
area government in the United States and Puerto Rico.
    Affected Public: State, Municipio, and Tribal area governments in 
the United States and Puerto Rico.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain a benefit.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Section 141.
    OMB Desk Officer: Brian Harris-Kojetin, (202) 395-7314.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
[email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to Brian Harris-Kojetin, OMB Desk Officer either by fax (202-395-7245) 
or e-mail ([email protected]).

    Dated: December 1, 2010.
