SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request 

clearance from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for the 

collection of basic demographic 

information on the Current Population 

Survey (CPS) beginning in August 2005. 

The current clearance expires July 31, 

2005. 

The CPS has been the source of 

official government statistics on 

employment and unemployment for 

over 50 years. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS) and the Census Bureau 

jointly sponsor the basic monthly 

survey. The Census Bureau also 

prepares and conducts all the field 

work. At the OMB’s request, the Census 

Bureau and the BLS divide the 

clearance request in order to reflect the 

joint sponsorship and funding of the 

CPS program. The justification that 

follows is in support of the demographic 

data. 

The demographic information 

collected in the CPS provides a unique 

set of data on selected characteristics for 

the civilian noninstitutional population. 

Some of the demographic information 

we collect are age, marital status, 

gender, Armed Forces status, education, 

race, origin, and family income. We use 

these data in conjunction with other 

data, particularly the monthly labor 

force data, as well as periodic 

supplement data. We use these data also 

independently for internal analytic 

research and for evaluation of other 

surveys. In addition, we use these data 

as a control to produce accurate 

estimates of other personal 

characteristics. 

II. Method of Collection 

The CPS basic demographic 

information is collected from individual 

households by both personal visit and 

telephone interviews each month. All 

interviews are conducted using 

computer-assisted interviewing. 

III. Data 

OMB Number: 0607–0049. 

Form Number: There are no forms. 

We conduct all interviewing on 

computers. 

Type of Review: Regular. 

Affected Public: Households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

57,000 per month. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 1.58 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 18,012. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: There is 

no cost to respondents other than their 

time. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13, United 

States Code, Section 182; and Title 29, 

United States Code, Sections 1–9. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized or 

included in the request for the OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
