SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The U.S. Census Bureau plans to 

request an extension of the current 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) clearance of the Questionnaire 

for Building Permit Official (SOC– 

QBPO). The Census Bureau uses the 

Computer-Assisted Personal 

Interviewing (CAPI) electronic 

questionnaire SOC–QBPO to collect 

information from state and local 

building permit officials on: (1) The 

types of permits they issue, (2) the 

length of time a permit is valid, (3) how 

they store permits, and (4) the 

geographic coverage of the permit 

system. We need this information to 

carry out the sampling for the Survey of 

Housing Starts, Sales, and Completions 

(OMB number 0607–0110), also known 

as Survey of Construction (SOC). The 

SOC provides widely used measures of 

construction activity, including the 

economic indicators Housing Starts, 

Housing Completions, and New 

Housing Sales. 

The current clearance of SOC–QBPO 

is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2011. 

We will continue to use the current 

CAPI questionnaire without any 

revisions and are requesting approval of 

continual use of the existing 

questionnaire in the field. There are no 

revisions to the current questionnaire. 

The overall length of the interview and 

the sample size also will not change. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Census Bureau uses its field 

representatives to obtain information on 

the operating procedures of a permit 

office using the SOC–QBPO. The field 

representative visits the permit office, 

conducts the interview, and completes 

this electronic form. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0125. 

Form Number: SOC–QBPO. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: State and local 

Government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

900. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 225 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: The 

cost to the respondents is estimated to 

be $5,475 based on an average hourly 

salary of $24.34 for local government 

employees. This estimate was taken 

from the Census Bureau’s Annual 

Survey of Government Employment for 

2009. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

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

Section 182. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information
