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: Generic Clearance for Data User Evaluation Surveys.
    Form Number(s): Various.
    OMB Control Number: 0607-0760.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Burden Hours: 30,000.
    Number of Respondents: 360,000.
    Average Hours per Response: Varies by survey.
    Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau plans to extend for an 
additional three years its generic clearance to conduct customer/
product-based research. This extension will allow us to continue to use 
customer satisfaction surveys, personal interviews, or focus group 
research to effectively improve and make more customer-oriented 
programs, products, and services.
    Extended clearance for data collections would continue to cover 
customer/program-based research for any Census Bureau program area that 
needs to measure customer needs, uses, and preferences for statistical 
information and services. The customer base includes, but is not 
limited to previous, existing, and potential businesses and 
organizations, alternate Census Bureau data disseminators like State 
Data Centers, Business and Industry Data Centers, Census Information 
Centers, Federal or Census Depository Libraries, educational 
institutions, and not-for-profit or other organizations.
    Information collected from customer research helps the Census 
Bureau to measure its customer base--their use, satisfaction, and 
preferences for existing and future programs, products and services.
    Proposals for specific collections under this generic clearance are 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review a 
minimum of two weeks prior to their planned start date. A year-end 
report is submitted annually to OMB summarizing activity under the 
clearance for the preceding year.
    Affected Public: Various.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Data Executive Order 12862.
    OMB Desk Officer: Brian Harris-Kojetin, (202) 395-7314.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
[email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to Brian Harris-Kojetin, OMB Desk Officer either by fax (202-395-7245)
