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: Regular submission.
Burden Hours: 7,500.
Number of Respondents: 90,000.
Average Hours Per Response: 5 minutes.
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 continued use of customer satisfaction
surveys, personal interviews, or focus group research to effectively
improve and make more customer-oriented programs, products, and
services.
The 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.
The generic clearance operates as a pre-approval from OMB to
conduct various and unspecified customer surveys and includes an annual
burden hour ceiling. Detailed information about individual customer
surveys is provided to OMB for review a minimum of two weeks in advance
of their planned start date. An annual report is provided to OMB
recapping the surveys conducted over the past year.
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.
Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations; Not-for-profit institutions; Federal government;
State, Local or Tribal government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Executive Order 12862.
