Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
DOC has submitted 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: 2006 Census Test, Group
Quarters Validation/Advance Visit
Operation.
Form Number(s): DD–351, DD–31,
DD–352.
Agency Approval Number: None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden: 198 hours.
Number of Respondents: 720.
Avg Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau requests authorization from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to conduct the 2006 Census Test
Group Quarters Validation/Advance
Visit (GQV/AV) operation. The 2006
GQV/AV is one of two iterative tests
planned to improve the enumeration of
the group quarters population in the
2010 Census.
The Census Bureau must provide
everyone in the United States—
including persons who do not live in
housing units—the opportunity to be
counted. In Census 2000, we
implemented a set of procedures
designed to enumerate persons who live
or stay in GQs, such as nursing homes,
college residence halls, jails, and
shelters for persons experiencing
homelessness. In order to count these
persons, we first developed a list of GQs
using the Special Place Facility
Questionnaire operation. This operation
was designed to identify, verify,
classify, and obtain pertinent
enumeration information about every
GQ prior to the enumeration of persons
living in group quarters.
As a result of lessons learned from
Census 2000, the Census Bureau
implemented the Group Quarters
Validation (GQV) operation in 2004 to
develop methodologies that would
improve the enumeration of the GQ
population in the 2010 Census. In
addition to developing a new
questionnaire and revising definitions
for some GQ types, the 2004 GQV
operation evaluated new GQ address
listing procedures. For the first time, the
GQ address list was integrated with the
housing unit address list, and the
development of the GQ inventory was
managed at the GQ level. This new
operation replaced the Census 2000
Special Place Facility Questionnaire

operation. The 2004 GQV operation was
planned to develop new procedures that
would verify and update the existing
Census 2000 GQ inventory, as well as
properly classify places with housing
units that were potentially difficult to
classify or that required special
procedures (e.g., hotels/motels and
assisted living facilities).
As part of ongoing planning for the
2010 Census, the Census Bureau now
plans to conduct the 2006 Census Test
GQV/AV operation. This operation is
designed to incorporate lessons learned
from the 2004 GQV operation and
Census 2000 with the focus group
research that we conducted on GQ
definitions. The goal of the 2006 GQV/
AV operation is to evaluate revised
procedures and definitions designed to
improve the classification and
geocoding of GQs. The planned dates for
the 2006 GQV/AV operation are
December 5, 2005 through January 13,
2005.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit;
Not-for-profit institutions.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Type of Request: Regular Submission.
Burden: 3,625 hours.
Number of Respondents: 14,500.
Avg. Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.
Needs and Uses: Many U.S. firms do
not export because of a fear of the risks
involved in exporting, lack of
knowledge about the international
marketplace, and insufficient resources.
These firms need a venue to find one
another and share the risks and costs of
exporting, and they need the assistance
of companies that specialize in
providing export trade facilitation
services. The Export Trading Company
Act of 1982 directs the U.S. Department
of Commerce to (a) encourage the
formation of export associations and
export service firms, and (b) provide an
exporter referral service that will
facilitate contact between producers and
export service firms. Commerce fulfills
its mandate through the Contact
Facilitation Service (CFS). The CFS
provides a platform for producers to (a)
find one another and form export
alliances, to achieve economies of scale,
and (b) locate export service firms and
attract foreign importers.
The CFS registration form is currently
available on-line via the Internet at
https://www.myexports.com and in hard
copy. MyExports, a U.S. Department of
Commerce public-private partnership,
produces two directories that draw
upon CFS data collection: (a) ‘‘The
Export Yellow Pages ;’’ (also known as
the ‘‘U.S. Exporters’ Yellow Pages ’’), a
directory of U.S. producers of goods and
services, and (b) the ‘‘U.S. Trade
Assistance Directory,’’ a directory of
export trade facilitation firms. These
directories are accessible via the
Internet at https://www.myexports.com
and in print by international traders
located worldwide.
Without the subject information
collection, the Contact Facilitation
Service provided through the
MyExports’ public-private partnership
would be unreliable and ineffective,
because users of this kind of
information need current and consistent
information about the listed companies.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit, not-for-profit institutions,
state, local or tribal Governments.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit, voluntary.

the federal government agencies and the
travel industry better understand the
international market. It is also a service
that the U.S. Department of Commerce
provides to travel industry businesses
seeking to increase international travel
and passenger fare exports for the
country. It provides the only
comparable estimates of nonresident
visitation to the states and cities within
the U.S., as well as U.S. resident travel
abroad. Traveler characteristics data are
also collected to help travel related
businesses better understand the
international travelers to and from the
U.S. so they can develop targeted
marketing and other planning related
materials.
Affected Public: International
travelers departing the United States 18
years or older which includes U.S. and
non-U.S. residents.
