BILLING CODE 6335–01–P 

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: Survey of Housing Starts, Sales, 

and Completions. 

Form Number(s): SOC–QI/SF.1, SOC– 

QI/MF.1. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0110. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden Hours: 13,187. 

Number of Respondents: 20,400. 

Average Hours per Response: 5 

minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census 

Bureau is requesting an extension of the 

Survey of Housing Starts, Sales, and 

Completions, otherwise known as the 

Survey of Construction (SOC). 

Government agencies and private 

companies use statistics from SOC to 

monitor and evaluate the large and 

dynamic housing construction industry. 

Data for two principal economic 

indicators are produced from the SOC: 

New Residential Construction (housing 

starts and housing completions) and 

New Residential Sales. In addition, a 

number of other statistical series are 

produced, including extensive 

information on the physical 

characteristics of new residential 

buildings, and indexes measuring rates 

of inflation in the price of new 

buildings. These statistics are based on 

a sample of residential buildings in 

permit-issuing places and a road 

canvass in a sample of land areas not 

covered by building permit systems. 

The field representatives (FRs) mail 

forms SOC–QI/SF.1 and SOC–QI/MF.1 

to new respondents to complete. A few 

days later, the FRs either call or visit the 

respondents to enter their survey 

responses into a laptop computer using 

the Computer Assisted Personal 

Interviewing (CAPI) software formatted 

for the SOC–QI/SF.1 and SOC–QI/MF.1 

forms. The respondents are home 

builders, real estate agents, rental 

agents, or new homeowners of sampled 

residential buildings. FRs contact 

respondents multiple times based on the 

number of projects in the sample and 

the number of months required to 

complete the project. 

The Census Bureau uses the 

information collected in the SOC to 

publish estimates of the number of new 

residential housing units started, under 

construction, completed, and the 

number of new houses sold and for sale. 

The Census Bureau also publishes many 

financial and physical characteristics of 

new housing units. Government 

agencies use these statistics to evaluate 

economic policy, measure progress 

towards the national housing goal, make 

policy decisions, and formulate 

legislation. For example, the Board of 

Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System uses data from this survey to 

evaluate the effect of interest rates in 

this interest-rate sensitive area of the 

economy. The Bureau of Economic 

Analysis (BEA) uses the data in 

developing the Gross Domestic Product 

(GDP). The private sector uses the 

information for estimating the demand 

for building materials and the many 

products used in new housing and to
