Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: Special Census Program. Form Number(s): SC–1, SC–1SUPP, SC–1 (Phone/WYC), SC–2, SC–116, SC– 351, SC–920, SC–921(HU), SC–921(SP). Agency Approval Number: 0607– 0368. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Burden: 46,377 hours. Number of Respondents: 709,655. Avg Hours Per Response: 4 minutes overall average. Needs and Uses: Governmental units requiring current population statistics between decennial censuses request and pay for special censuses. Many states distribute funds based on current population statistics. In addition, special census data are used by the local jurisdictions to plan new schools, transportation systems, housing programs, and water treatment facilities. The Special Census Program operates as a generic OMB clearance, including a library of forms and the operational procedures that will be used for the many special censuses we anticipate conducting this decade. The Census Bureau will establish a reimbursable agreement with a variety of potential special census customers that are unknown at this time. We will submit for OMB’s review and approval, under cover of change worksheet, any specialpurpose questions requested by customers to be added to special census questionnaires. Local jurisdictions use special census data to apply for available funds from both the state and Federal government. Many states distribute these funds based on current population statistics. This fact, along with local population shifts or annexations of territory, prompts local officials to request special censuses. In addition, special census data are used by the local jurisdictions to plan new schools, transportation systems, housing programs, water treatment facilities, etc. Some areas feel that additional data are required for proper planning and others must have the additional data to qualify for some sources of funding. For these reasons, local officials request special purpose questions. The Census Bureau also uses special census data as part of its local E:\FR\FM\11APN1.SGM 11APN1
