I. Abstract
The U.S. Census Bureau plans to
request clearance from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for the
collection of basic demographic
VerDate Aug<31>2005
information on the Current Population
Survey (CPS) beginning in July 2008.
The current clearance expires June 30,
2008.
The CPS has been the source of
official government statistics on
employment and unemployment for
over 50 years. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) and the Census Bureau
jointly sponsor the basic monthly
survey. The Census Bureau also
prepares and conducts all the field
work. At OMB’s request, the Census
Bureau and the BLS divide the
clearance request in order to reflect the
joint sponsorship and funding of the
CPS program. The justification that
follows is in support of the demographic
data.
The demographic information
collected in the CPS provides a unique
set of data on selected characteristics for
the civilian noninstitutional population.
Some of the demographic information
collected are age, marital status, gender,
Armed Forces status, education, race,
origin, and family income. These data
are used in conjunction with other data,
particularly the monthly labor force
data, as well as periodic supplement
data. The data is also used
independently for internal analytic
research and for evaluation of other
surveys. And, in addition, as a control
to produce accurate estimates of other
personal characteristics.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
PO 00000
Frm 00035

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
