L. 93–383) by adding section 533, 42

U.S.C. § 2490(m), Housing Preservation

Grants (HPG). In addition, the Secretary

of Agriculture has authority to prescribe

rules and regulations to implement HPG

and other programs under 42 U.S.C.

§ 1480(j).

Section 533(d) is prescriptive about

the information applicants are to submit

to RHS as part of their application and

in the assessments and criteria RHS is

to use in selecting grantees. An

applicant is to submit a ‘‘statement of

activity’’ describing its proposed

program, including the specific

activities it will undertake, and its

schedule. RHS is required in turn to

evaluate proposals on a set of prescribed

criteria, for which the applicant will

also have to provide information, such

as: (1) very low- and low-income

persons proposed to be served by the

repair and rehabilitation activities; (2)

participation by other public and

private organizations to leverage funds

and lower the cost to the HPG program;

(3) the area to be served in terms of

population size and need; (4) cost data

to assure greatest degree of assistance at

lowest cost; (5) administrative costs

projected; and (6) administrative

capacity of the applicant to carry out the

program. The information collected will

be the minimum required by law and by

the necessity for RHS to assure that it

funds responsible grantees proposing

feasible projects in areas of greatest

need. Most data are taken from a

localized area, although some are

derived from census reports of city,

county and Federal governments

showing population and housing

characteristics.

public or private nonprofit corporation.

Estimated number of respondents:

1,850

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The U.S. Census Bureau is requesting

clearance for the collection of data

concerning the Voting and Registration

Supplement to be conducted in

conjunction with the November 1996

Current Population Survey (CPS). Title

13, United States Code, Section 182; and

Title 29, United States Code, Sections

1–9, authorize the collection of this

information. The Census Bureau

sponsors these questions, which have

been collected biennially in the CPS

since 1964.

This survey has provided statistical

information for tracking historical

trends of voter and nonvoter

characteristics in each Presidential and/

or Congressional election since 1964.

The data collected from the November

supplement relates demographic

characteristics (age, sex, race, education,

occupation, and income) to voting and

nonvoting behavior. The November CPS

supplement is the only source of data

that provides a comprehensive set of

voter and nonvoter characteristics

distinct from independent surveys,

media polls, or other outside agencies.

Federal, state, and local election

officials use these data to formulate

policies relating to the voting and

registration process. College

institutions, political party committees,

research groups, and other private

organizations also use the voting and

registration data.

II. Method of Collection

The voting and registration

information will be collected by both

personal visit and telephone interviews

in conjunction with the regular

November CPS interviewing. All

interviews are conducted using

computer-assisted interviewing.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0607–0466.

Form Number: There are no forms.

We conduct all interviewing on

computers.

Type of Review: Regular.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

48,000.

Estimated Time Per Response: 1.2

minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 960.

Estimated Total Annual Cost:

$250,000.

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
18546 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 82 / Friday, April 26, 1996 / Notices

(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 and/or

included in the request for OMB

approval of this information collection;

they also will become a matter of public

record.
