weeks specified in § 1714.5(d). The rate

for terms of less than 20 years is the

average of the rates published in the

Bond Buyer for the same four weeks in

the table of ‘‘Municipal Market Data—

General Obligation Yields’’ or the

successor to this table. No interest rate

may exceed the interest rate for Water

and Waste Disposal loans.

The table of Municipal Market Data

includes only rates for securities

maturing in 2001 and at 5 year intervals

thereafter. The rates published by RUS

reflect the average rates for the years

shown in the Municipal Market Data

table. Rates for interest rate terms

ending in intervening years are a linear

interpolation based on the average of the

rates published in the Bond Buyer. All

rates are adjusted to the nearest one

eighth of one percent (0.125 percent) as

required under § 1714.5(a). The market

interest rate on Water and Waste

Disposal loans for this quarter is 5.250

percent.

In accordance with § 1714.5, the

interest rates are established as shown

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The Census Bureau conducts the

Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS)

to collect and maintain information

about the inventory of, the legal

boundaries for, and the legal actions

affecting the boundaries of counties and

equivalent entities, incorporated places,

minor civil divisions, and federally

recognized legal American Indian and

Alaska Native areas. In addition, the

BAS provides an opportunity for each

jurisdiction to inform the Census

Bureau about changes to the road and

other map information within its

territory, and requests information about

the extent of addresses at the

intersection of each road with its

governmental boundary. This

information provides an accurate

identification of geographic areas for the

Census Bureau to use in conducting the

decennial and economic censuses, the

population estimates, household survey,

and other statistical programs of the

Census Bureau, and the legislative

programs of the federal government.

Through the BAS, the Census Bureau

asks each government to review the

forms and maps for its jurisdiction to

verify the correctness of the information

portrayed. Each government is asked to

update the maps to reflect current

boundaries, supply information

documenting each legal boundary

change, provide changes in the

inventory of governments, and add or

change related map information, such as

street network, street name, address

break, and so forth, as applicable.

The BAS universe and mailing

materials vary depending upon the

needs of the Census Bureau in fulfilling

its censuses and household surveys.

Federally recognized American Indian

reservations, off-reservation trust lands,

and tribal subdivisions, are included in

every survey. The Census Bureau also is

considering including federally

recognized American Indian offreservation allotments as part of future

surveys.

In the years ending in 8, 9, and 0, the

BAS includes all governmental counties

and equivalent entities, incorporated

places, all governmental minor civil

divisions, and federally recognized

American Indian and Alaska Native

areas (including the Alaska Native

Regional Corporations). Each

governmental entity surveyed will

receive a full set of maps covering its

jurisdiction and one or more forms.

These three years coincide with the

Census Bureau’s preparation for the

decennial census.

In the years ending with 2 and 7, the

BAS includes all federally recognized

American Indian and Alaska Native

areas, all governmental counties and

equivalent entities, minor civil divisions

in the six New England states and those

with a population of 10,000 or greater in

the states of Michigan, Minnesota, New

Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and

Wisconsin, and those incorporated

places that have a population of 2,500

or greater in all states.

The remaining years of the decade—

years ending in 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6—the

BAS includes all federally recognized

American Indian and Alaska Native

areas, all governmental counties and

equivalent entities, minor civil divisions

in the six New England states, and

incorporated places that have a

population of 5,000 or greater in all

states.

In the years ending from 1 through 7

the Census Bureau may enter into

agreements with individual states to

modify the universe of minor civil

divisions and/or incorporated places to

include additional entities that are

known by that state to have had

boundary changes, without regard to

population size. In addition, the Census

Bureau will include in the BAS each

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 26, 2001 / Notices 33947

newly incorporated place in the year

following notification of its

incorporation or any boundary change

reported as part of the Count Question

Resolution process. The BAS also will

include each year a single respondent

request for municipio, barrio, barriopueblo, and subbarrio boundary and

status information in Puerto Rico and

Hawaiian home land boundary and

status information in Hawaii.

To ensure the correct allocation of

population and housing units for each

household survey, the population

estimates program, the 2002 and 2007

Economic Censuses, and the 2010

Census, the Census Bureau will request

information depicting the relationship

of addresses to each legal boundary. The

BAS asks each government to review

and/or update information about the

addresses that exist at their legal

boundaries, where their boundaries

intersect streets. This information

assists the Census Bureau in correctly

tabulating the data for each

governmental unit.

No other federal agency collects these

data nor is there a standard collection of

this information at the state level. The

Census Bureau’s BAS is a unique survey

providing a standard result for use by

federal, state, local, and tribal

governments and by commercial,

private, and public organizations.

II. Method of Collection

During the next three years, the

Census Bureau will be developing an

electronic response option. This option

will involve updating both the forms

and maps electronically and the use of

electronic signatures; the Census Bureau

is working with the State of Georgia in

a pilot program to develop this

methodology. The Census Bureau will

provide digital files to the State of

Georgia after processing the 2001 BAS

responses.

A BAS package that includes the

following items is mailed to each

respondent:

1. An introductory letter from the

Director of the Census Bureau.

2. The appropriate BAS Survey

Form(s) preprinted with entity-specific

identification information:

BAS–1 and BAS–1A—Incorporated

Places

BAS–CUO City BAS 2, BAS–2A, and

BAS–CUO—Counties, Parishes,

Boroughs, City and Boroughs, Census

Areas

BAS–3 and BAS–3A—Minor Civil

Divisions

BAS–4—Newly Incorporated Places or

Newly Activated Places

BAS–5 and BAS–5A—American Indian

and Alaska Native Areas

3. A BAS Guide for Annotating the

Maps.

4. Special inserts, if applicable, for the

entity.

5. A set of maps showing the current

boundaries of the entity.

6. A return envelope.

An official in each government is

asked to verify the legal boundaries and

update the maps, showing any street

feature, revised/new address breaks,

and/or legal boundary changes. The

official is then asked to sign the maps

and verify the forms and return the

information to the Census Bureau.

The Census Bureau inserts the

boundary, address break, and feature

changes into the TIGER system—the

Census Bureau’s geographic data base

and associated data files.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0607–0151.

Form Numbers: BAS–1, BAS–1A,

BAS–2, BAS–2A, BAS–CUO, BAS–3,

BAS–3A, BAS–4, BAS–5, and BAS–5A.

(A final list of inserts and letters will be

included in the package submitted to

the OMB for approval.)

Type of Review: Regular Submission.

Affected Public: State, Local and

Tribal Governments.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

2002 BAS—13,662 respondents per year

2003 and 2004

hours.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours:

2002 BAS—40,986 burden hours

estimate on the information from the

Annual Survey of State and Local

Government Employment. Using

employment and payroll in the category

‘‘financial administration,’’ the main

cost is for review and completion by

local government employees whose pay

averages $17.07 per hour.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

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

Section 6.

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden

(including hours and cost) of the

proposed collection of information; (c)
