Title: 1999 New York City Housing

and Vacancy Survey.

Form Number(s): H–100, –105, –108,

–100(L).

Agency Approval Number: 0607–

0757.

Type of Request: Reinstatement, with

change, of an expired collection.

Burden: 11,200 hours.

Number of Respondents: 17,200.

Avg Hours Per Response: 35 minutes.

Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau

plans to conduct the 1999 New York

City Housing and Vacancy Survey

(NYCHVS) under contract for the City of

New York. The purpose of the survey is

to measure the supply, condition, and

vacancy rate of housing in the City.

Vacancy rate is the primary factor in

determining the continuation of rent

control regulations. Other survey

information is used by city and state

agencies for planning purposes as well

as the private sector for business

decisions. The laws of New York require

such a survey to be conducted every

three years.

Census Bureau interviewers will

conduct personal visit interviews at a

sample of housing units in the city, the

vast majority of which are apartments in

apartment buildings. Basic demographic

information will be collected from

residents along with information about

living conditions (rent, facilities,

maintenance, neighborhood, etc.). This

information will be collected from

rental agents or other knowledgeable

persons in the case of vacant units. A

small number of reinterviews with

agents or landlords will be conducted

for quality assurance purposes. We will

also determine, by observation only, if

a sample of units known to have been

lost from the housing inventory have

been reconverted for residential use.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households, businesses or other forprofit.

Frequency: Every 3 years.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

Legal Authority: Title 13 USC, Section

8.

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: Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal:

Integrated Coverage Measurement and

Post Enumeration Survey Activities

(Person Follow-up Interview and

Evaluation Interview) and Initial Phase

Evaluation Activities (Administrative

Record Coverage and Multiple

Response).

Form Number(s): DX–1301, DX–

1301.EI, DX–1301.PSA, and DX–

1301(P).

Agency Approval Number: None.

Type of Request: New collection.

Burden: 6,173 hours.

Number of Respondents: 20,190.

Avg Hours Per Response: 18 and a

half minutes.

Needs and Uses: In the Census 2000

Dress Rehearsal, the Census Bureau will

conduct a dress rehearsal of both its

Integrated Coverage Measurement (ICM)

and Post Enumeration Survey (PES)

methodologies that can be used

alternatively to measure coverage of the

census for housing units and people.

During Person Follow-up, we reconcile

differences between ICM/PES person

interview phase and the census initial

enumeration. The result will be the

information needed to produce the final

estimates of the coverage for the Census

2000 Dress Rehearsal. The evaluation

activities include analyzing the

effectiveness of the ICM/PES data

collection process and the potential

coverage improvement from utilizing

alternate response options and

administrative records in census

operations.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Frequency: One time.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Legal Authority: Title 13, United

States Code, Section 141.
