SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The Census Bureau is requesting

clearance for the collection of data

concerning the Voting and Registration

Supplement to be conducted in

conjunction with the November 2000

CPS. The Census Bureau sponsors these

questions, which have been collected

biennially in the CPS since 1964.

This survey has provided statistical

information for tracking historical

trends of voter and nonvoter

characteristics in each Presidential or

Congressional election since 1964. The

data collected from the November

supplement relates demographic

characteristics (age, sex, race, education,

occupation, and income) to voting and

nonvoting behavior. The November CPS

supplement is the only source of data

that provides a comprehensive set of

voter and nonvoter characteristics

distinct from independent surveys,

media polls, or other outside agencies.

Federal, state, and local election

officials use these data to formulate

policies relating to the voting and

registration process. College

institutions, political party committees,

research groups, and other private

organizations also use the voting and

registration data.

II. Method of Collection

The voting and registration

information will be collected by both

personal visit and telephone interviews

in conjunction with the regular

November CPS interviewing. All

interviews are conducted using

computer-assisted interviewing.

III. Data

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The Census Bureau collects education

finance data as part of its Annual

Survey of State and Local Governments.

This survey is the only comprehensive

source of public fiscal data collected on

a nationwide scale using uniform

definitions, concepts and procedures.

The collection covers the revenues,

expenditures, debt, and assets of all

public school systems. This data

collection has been coordinated with

the National Center for Education

Statistics (NCES). The NCES uses this

collection to satisfy its need for school

system level finance data.

Information on the finance of our

public schools is vital to assessing their

effectiveness. This data collection

makes it possible to access a single data

base to obtain information on such

things as per pupil expenditures and the

percent of state, local, and federal

funding for each school system.

Recently, as exemplified by the

establishment of the America 2000

education goals, there has been

increased interest in improving the

Nation’s public schools. One result of

this intensified interest has been a

significant increase in the demand for

school finance data.

The five forms used in the school

finance portion of the survey are:

Form F–33. This form contains item

descriptions and definitions of the

elementary-secondary education finance

items collected jointly by the Census

Bureau and NCES. It is used primarily

as a worksheet by the state education

agencies that provide school finance

data centrally for all of the school

systems in their respective states. Most

states supply their data by electronic

means.

Form F–33–1. This form is used at the

beginning of each survey period to

solicit the assistance of the state

education agencies. It establishes the

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 10, 2000 / Notices 30057

conditions by which the state education

agencies provide their school finance

data to the Census Bureau.

Form F–33–L1. This is a

supplemental letter sent to the school

systems in states where the state

education agencies cannot provide

information on the assets of individual

school systems.

Form F–33–L2. This is a

supplemental letter sent to the school

systems in states where the state

education agency cannot provide

information on the indebtedness of

individual school systems.

Form F–33–L3. This is a

supplemental letter sent to the school

systems in states where the state

education agency cannot provide

information on either indebtedness or

assets. This letter combines the items

requested on the forms F–33–L1 and F–

33–L2.

The data to be collected is identical to

the previous collections except as

follows: The request for indebtedness

information (Forms F–33–L2 and F–33–

L3) is added because some state

education agencies have been deleting

this information from their data bases.

Others have not been editing this

information or following up when the

school systems fail to report this

information to the state.

New special processing items have

been added for state payments made on

behalf of the school systems in the areas

of textbooks, and transportation. These

items will make it possible for

expenditure data to be more accurately

reported at the functional level.

II. Method of Collection

Through central collection

arrangements with the state education

agencies, the Census Bureau collects

almost all of the finance data for local

school systems from state education

agency data bases. The states transfer

most of this information in electronic

format on microcomputer disks and

over the Internet. The Census Bureau

has facilitated central collection of

school finance data by accepting data in

whatever formats the states elect to

transmit.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0607–0700.

Form Number: F–33, F–33–1, F–33–

L1, F–33–L2, F–33–L3.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 16–2000]

Foreign-Trade Zone 3—San Francisco,

California Area; Application for

Expansion

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board

(the Board) by the San Francisco Port

Commission, grantee of Foreign-Trade

Zone 3, requesting authority to expand

its zone to include the San Francisco

International Airport fuel system and

related facilities, within the San

Francisco Customs port of entry. The

application was submitted pursuant to

the provisions of the Foreign-Trade

Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–

81u), and the regulations of the Board

(15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed

on April 28, 2000.

FTZ 3 was approved on March 10,

1948 (Board Order 16, 13 F.R. 1459, 3/

19/48). The zone project currently

consists of 225,000 square feet at Piers

19 and 23 on the Embarcadero in San

Francisco.

The applicant is now requesting

authority to expand the general-purpose

zone to include the jet fuel storage and

distribution system (261 acres) at the

San Francisco International Airport,

which consists of the airport hydrant

and storage facilities, two adjacent offAirport terminals, a pipeline and two

offsite terminals, as follows: Proposed

Site 2: the jet fuel storage and delivery

facilities at the San Francisco

International Airport; the Chevron jet

fuel tank farm (8.5 acres), the PS

Trading tank farm (1 acre) and related

pipelines between the tanks farms; jet

fuel transmission pipelines and the

terminal and cargo area hydrant

pipelines; the petroleum and jet fuel

storage facilities (26 acres) at the

Brisbane Terminal (owned by SFPP,

L.P.), 950 Tunnel Avenue, Brisbane;

and, the petroleum and jet fuel storage

facilities (7 acres) at the Equilon

Terminal (owned by Equilon Enterprises

LLC), 135 North Access Road, South

San Francisco, including the 4.7 mile

segment of the SFPP jet fuel pipeline

from the two terminals to the airport;

Proposed Site 3: (55 acres) at the

petroleum facilities of Selby Terminal

(owned by Shore Terminals LLC), 90

San Pablo Avenue, Crockett; and,

Terminal (owned by Shore Terminals

LLC), 2801 Waterfront Road, Martinez.

The City of San Francisco owns fuel

facilities at the airport and the land on

which the Chevron tank farm and the

PST tank farms are located (the

companies own the improvements). In

addition to the storage of jet fuel, the

Brisbane, Equilon, Selby and Martinez

Terminals may also be used for the

receipt and storage of other petroleum

products under zone procedures.

No specific manufacturing requests

are being made at this time. Such

requests would be made to the Board on

a case-by-case basis.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff

has been designated examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.
