authority for providing technical
assistance funds to eligible applicants to
finance programs of technical and
supervisory assistance for self-help
housing, as authorized under section

financial assistance may pay part of all

from non-profit organizations to enter
into grant agreements. These non-profit
organizations will give technical and
supervisory assistance, and in doing so,
they must develop a final application
for section 523 grant funds. This
application includes Agency forms that
contain essential information for making
a determination of eligibility.

nonprofit organizations, State, local, or

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 Short-Form Experiment.
Form Number(s): S–1A, S–1B, S–1C.
Agency Approval Number: None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden: 4,734 hours.
Number of Respondents: 28,400.
Avg Hours Per Response: 10 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau requests authorization from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to collect data from the public as
part of the Decennial Short Form
Experiment (SFE). This is one of a
number of tests planned to improve the
2010 Census.
In response to the lessons learned
from Census 2000, and in striving to
better meet our Nation’s ever-expanding
needs for social, demographic, and
geographic information, the U.S.
Department of Commerce and the
Census Bureau have developed a multiyear effort to completely modernize and
re-engineer the 2010 Census of
Population and Housing.
In order to meet our constitutional
and legislative mandates, we must
implement a re-engineered 2010 Census
that is cost-effective and improve
measurement. Achieving this strategic
goal requires an iterative series of tests
that will provide an opportunity to
evaluate new or improved question
wording, methodology, technology, and
questionnaire design. The 2006 SFE is
part of this testing cycle, which has
been planned to allow us to finalize
methodologies and operational
procedures in time to conduct a Dress
Rehearsal in 2008 and a successful
census in 2010.
The SFE is a national mail survey test.
This test will be conducted with
households that have a city-type address
and that receive mail from the U.S.
Postal Service (USPS). The population
of interest includes those households
that would be eligible for a mailoutmailback short form. The one exception
is that households in Austin, TX will be
excluded from the sample in order to
avoid interference with the 2006 Census
Test, which is taking place in Austin.
Like other research leading up to the
2010 Census, this test is designed to
evaluate revised methods intended to
improve accuracy and/or contain costs.
