SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Overseas Citizen Population 

Survey; OMB Control Number 0704– 

0539. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

Number of Respondents: 18,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 18,000. 

Average Burden per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 4,500. 

Needs and Uses: The primary 

objective of the Overseas Citizen 

Population Survey (OCPS), conducted 

on behalf of FVAP, is to refine FVAP’s 

methodology for estimating the number 

of overseas U.S. civilians who are 

eligible to vote and who have registered 

and participated in the past. These 

estimates are then used to address the 

question of whether the registration and 

voting propensity of the overseas 

civilian population differs from that of 

comparable domestic or military 

populations. Subsequent to each federal 

election year, FVAP must report to 

Congress voter registration and 

participation rates for Uniformed 

Services voters and overseas citizens. 

Previous attempts to collect information 

on the overseas citizen population to 

identify and measure its voter 

registration and participation rates in 

Federal elections suffered from 

significant bias; this effort is focused on 

refining a well-established method to 

report voter registration and 

participation rates from a more welldefined subgroup of overseas civilians. 

Conducting this research will help 

FVAP meet its federal and congressional 

mandates in terms of reporting annually 

on its activities and overall voter 

registration and participation rates after 

each general federal election. The data 

obtained through this study is also 

intended to provide insights into 

existing barriers to UOCAVA voting and 

recommendations for addressing these 

challenges. To obtain the necessary 

information, the OCPS uses data 

collected from a sample of registered 

overseas civilian voters in conjunction 

with previous country level estimates 

developed by FVAP research and 

establishes a research method to assist 

FVAP in reporting voter registration and 

participation rates for general federal 

elections. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households. 

Frequency: Biennially. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet 

Seehra.
