The June Fertility Supplement, like the June 2004 Fertility Supplement, differs from the June 1998 and the June 1995 supplements because it only includes fertility items. The 1998 supplement contained fertility and birth expectations items. The 1995 supplement contained fertility and marital history items. The data collected from this supplement are used primarily by government and private analysts to project future population growth, to analyze childbearing patterns, and to assist policymakers in making decisions that are affected by changes in family size and composition. Past studies have documented profound changes to historical patterns that have occurred in fertility rates, family structures, premarital births, and the timing of the first birth.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


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: Quarterly Survey of State and Local Government Tax Revenue.
    Form Number(s): F-71, F-72, F-73.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0112.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 5,661 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 5,610.
    Avg Hours Per Response: F-71 & F-73--15 minutes; F-72--30 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau requests an extension of the 
current expiration date of the Quarterly Survey of State and Local 
Government Tax Revenue to ensure accurate collection of information 
about state and local government tax collections. These tax 
collections, amounting to nearly $900 billion annually, constitute 
almost one-half of all governmental revenues. Quarterly measurement of, 
and reporting on, these massive fund flows provides valuable insight 
into trends in the national economy and that of individual states. 
Information collected on the type and quantity of taxes collected gives 
comparative data on how the various levels of government fund their 
public sector obligations. These data are included in the quarterly 
estimates of National Income and Product Accounts developed by the 
Bureau of Economic Analysis and are widely used by state revenue and 
tax officials, academicians, media representatives, and others.
    The Census Bureau uses the three information collection forms to 
collect state and local government tax data for this long established 
data series. The Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Federal Reserve 
Board, the Department of Treasury, and others rely on these data to 
provide the most current information on the financial status of state 
and local governments.
    Legislators, policy makers, administrators, analysts, economists, 
and researchers use the data to monitor trends in public sector 
revenues. Journalists, teachers, and students use the data as well.
    Tax collection data are used to measure economic activity for the 
Nation as a whole, as well as for comparison among the various states. 
These data are also useful in comparing the mix of taxes employed by 
individual states, and in determining the revenue raising capacity of 
different types of states.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Frequency: Quarterly.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., section 182.
    OMB Desk Officer: Susan Schechter, (202) 395-5103.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, room 6625, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
dhynek@doc.gov). Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to Susan Schechter, OMB Desk Officer either by fax (202-
395-7245) or e-mail (susan_schechter@omb.eop.gov).

    Dated: March 6, 2006.

Management Analyst, Departmental Paperwork Clearance Officer.
