Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 9, 2008 / Notices
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: 2008 Survey of Qualified
Nonimmigrants.
OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden Hours: 1,502.
Number of Respondents: 5,300.
Average Hours per Response: 17
minutes.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau is requesting approval to
conduct a survey of the residents of
Guam and the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) as a
means to estimate the stock of qualified
nonimmigrants from the Republic of the
Marshall Islands, the Federated States of
Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau
in 2008. According to the Compact of
Free Association Act, a qualified
nonimmigrant is defined as ‘‘* * * a
person, or their children under the age
of 18, admitted or resident pursuant to
section 141 of the US–RMI or US–FSM
Compact or section 141 of the Palau
Compact who, as of a date referenced in
the most recently published
enumeration is a resident of an affected
jurisdiction.’’ (Pub. L. 108–188, Sec.
104(e)(2)(B)).
The Compact of Free Association is a
joint congressional-executive agreement
that states that the U.S. will provide
funds to Guam, CNMI, Hawaii and
American Samoa for a range of
development programs and other
benefits that are necessary due to the inmigration of citizens from the Republic
of the Marshall Islands, the Federated
States of Micronesia, and the Republic
of Palau. The Compact of Free
Association became effective for citizens
of the Republic of the Marshall Islands
and the Federated States of Micronesia
in 1986, and for citizens of the Republic
of Palau in 1994.
The Compact of Free Association
Amendments Act of 2003 introduced
the requirement for an enumeration of
qualified nonimmigrants to be
conducted no less frequently than every
five years in Guam, CNMI, Hawaii and
American Samoa. In accordance with
the Compact of Free Association
Amendments Act of 2003, the Office of
the Insular Affairs of the U.S.
Department of the Interior requested the
U.S. Census Bureau to produce
estimates of such qualified
nonimmigrants for 2008.
The Compact of Free Association
Amendments Act of 2003 stipulates that
$30,000,000 will be made available for
grants to help defray the costs to
VerDate Aug<31>2005

jurisdictions whose health, educational,
social, or public safety services are
affected by the increase in qualified
nonimmigrants from the Republic of the
Marshall Islands, the Federated States of
Micronesia and the Republic of Palau.
To assist in the distribution of funds, an
enumeration of the jurisdictions that are
affected must be done no less frequently
than every five years.
The proposed survey will collect data
on place of birth, age, date of birth, sex
and year of entry for qualified
nonimmigrants residing in Guam and
CNMI. Only questions pertaining to the
needs of the legislation will be asked.
The questionnaire content and data
collection procedures will generally
follow the American Community Survey
(ACS) and Census 2000 procedures.
Since data can be obtained for Hawaii
from the ACS, it is not cost-effective to
include Hawaii in the survey. Because
it would be cost prohibitive to design a
survey resulting in reliable estimates of
the small number of qualified
nonimmigrants in American Samoa, the
estimate for this area will be derived
from existing Census 2000 data.
The jurisdictions outlined in Public
Law 108–188 are American Samoa,
Guam, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands and the State
of Hawaii as areas that are to receive
funds as part of the Compact of Free
Association Amendments Act of 2003.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One-time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Compact of Free
Association Amendments Act of 2003.
OMB Desk Officer: Brian HarrisKojetin, (202) 395–7314.

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
