percent) opposed the continuation of
the Order. Additionally, of those
persons who cast valid ballots in the
referendum, those who favored the
Order accounted for 84 percent of the
total production voted, and those
opposed account for 16 percent of the
total production voted. For the program
to continue, it must have been approved
by at least a majority of those persons
voting for approval who were engaged
in the production, feeding, or slaughter
of lambs during calendar year 2004 and
who also represent a majority of the
volume of lambs produced, fed, or
slaughtered.
Therefore, based on the referendum
results, the Secretary of Agriculture has
determined that the required majority of
eligible voters who voted in the
nationwide referendum from January
31, 2005, through February 29, 2005,
voted to continue the Order. As a result,
the Lamb Checkoff Program will
continue to be funded by a mandatory
assessment on producers, seedstock
producers (breeders), feeders, and
exporters at the rate of one-half cent
($.005) per pound when live ovine
animals are sold. The first handler,
primarily packers, will pay an
additional $.30 cents per head on ovine
animals purchased for slaughter.
Importers are not assessed.
In accordance with Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35),
the information collection requirements
have been approved under OMB
number 0581–0227.

Needs and Uses: EDA provides

higher-skill, higher-wage jobs through
world class capacity building,
infrastructure, business assistance,

EDA must collect data and report on

long-term partnerships with State,
regional organizations, Economic
Development Districts and Indian Tribes
that assist distressed communities with
strategic planning and investment
activities. The University Center
program is a partnership that draws on
the expertise of colleges and universities
to strengthen distressed communities as
they strive to become economically selfsufficient. The Trade Adjustment
Assistance program, authorized under
the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341
et seq.), assists U.S. firms and industries
injured as the result of trade agreements

goals and objectives. The
congressionally mandated reports
include (i) the Annual Performance
Plan, (ii) Annual Program Performance
Report, (iii) annual Accountability

Title: 2005 National Census Test
Coverage Follow-up.
Form Number(s): None (interviews
will be conducted via phone using an
automated instrument).
Agency Approval Number: None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden: 10,000 hours.
Number of Respondents: 60,000.
Avg. Hours Per Response: 10 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau requests authorization from the
Office of Management and Budget to
conduct the 2005 National Census Test
(NCT) Coverage Followup (CFU)
operation.
Improved coverage is one of the four
major goals for Census 2010. In
preparation for the 2010 Census, the
Census Bureau plans to conduct the
2005 CFU operation in conjunction with
the 2005 NCT.
For the 2005 CFU operation, we plan
to select a sample of respondents for a
telephone followup interview. This
coverage operation is intended to
evaluate new procedures that have been
developed to improve coverage and
reduce duplication.
The purpose of the 2005 CFU
operation is to determine whether
respondents in the 2005 NCT included
all the appropriate persons on their form
and excluded persons who should have
been counted elsewhere. The 2005 CFU
operation will attempt to assess the
accuracy in which respondents report
within household coverage using
different rostering approaches and
coverage questions. The U.S. Census
Bureau will conduct the 2005 CFU from
November 1, 2005 through March 6,
2006.
The U.S. Census Bureau telephone
center staff will interview households
selected for 2005 CFU using computerassisted telephone interviewing (CATI).
The 2005 CFU CATI instrument will
include the ability to conduct
interviews in Spanish.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One-time.
