critical to our ability to prevent the

interstate spread of various swine

diseases, and, therefore, plays a vital

role in our Swine Health Protection

Program.

We are asking the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) to

approve the continued use of this

information collection activity.

The purpose of this notice is to solicit

comments from the public (as well as

affected agencies) concerning our

information collection. We need this

outside input to help us:

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the Agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our

estimate of the burden of the proposed

collection of information, including the

validity of the methodology and

assumptions used;

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

(4) Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, through use, as

appropriate, of automated, electronic,

mechanical, and other collection

technologies, e.g., permitting electronic

submission of responses.

Estimate of burden: The public

reporting burden for this collection of

information is estimated to average .890

hours per response.

Respondents: Operators of garbage

treatment facilities.

Estimated number of respondents:

264.

Estimated annual number of

responses per respondent: 2.48.

Estimated annual number of

responses: 656.

Estimated total annual burden on

respondents: 584 hours. (Due to

rounding, the total annual burden hours

may not equal the product of the annual

number of responses multiplied by the

average reporting burden per response.)

All responses to this notice will be

summarized and included in the request

for OMB approval. All comments will

also become a matter of public record.

Submission For OMB Review;

Comment Request

DOC has submitted 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: Bureau of the Census.

Title: 1998 Annual Demographic

Survey—Supplement to the Current

Population Survey.

Form Number(s): CPS–580, -589(SP),

-676, 676(SP).

Agency Approval Number: 0607–

0354.

Type of Request: Reinstatement, with

change, of an expired collection.

Burden: 20,410 hours.

Number of Respondents: 50,500.

Avg Hours Per Response: 24 and one

half minutes.

Needs and Uses: The Bureau of the

Census conducts the Annual

Demographic Survey (ADS) every year

in March as a supplement to the Current

Population Survey (CPS). The Bureau of

the Census, the Bureau of Labor

Statistics, and the Department of Health

and Human Services sponsor this

supplement. In the ADS, we collect

information on work experience,

migration, personal income and

noncash benefits, household noncash

benefits, and race.

The work experience items in the

ADS provide a unique measure of the

dynamic nature of the labor force as

viewed over a one-year period. The

income data from the ADS are used by

social planners, economists,

Government officials, and market

researchers to gauge the economic wellbeing of the Nation as a whole, and

selected population groups of interest.

Researchers evaluate March income data

not only to determine poverty levels,

but also to determine whether

Government programs are reaching

eligible households.

We have made question changes,

additions, and deletions to the 1998

supplement to address changes caused

by the recent welfare reform and

changes recommended by interviewers,

data users, and others.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Frequency: Annually.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

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

Section 182 and Title 29 U.S.C.,

Sections 1–9.

OMB Desk Officer: Nancy Kirkendall,

(202) 395–7313.

collection proposal can be obtained by

information collection should be sent

within 30 days of publication of this

notice to Nancy Kirkendall, OMB Desk

Officer, room 10201, New Executive

Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
