Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit 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: Generic Clearance for
Geographic Partnership Programs.
Form Number(s): Various.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0795.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 557,930.
Number of Respondents: 10,154.
Average Hours Per Response: 55
hours.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau requests approval from OMB for
a three-year extension of the generic
clearance entitled Geographic
Partnership Programs (GPPs) that will
cover a number of activities needed to
update the Master Address File/
Topologically Integrated Geographic
Encoding and Referencing (MAF/
TIGER) database (MTdb) with associated
address and geographic information.
The information to be collected in these
programs in cooperation with tribal,
state, and local governments and other
partners, are essential to the mission of
the Census Bureau and directly
contributes to the successful outcome of
censuses and surveys conducted by the
Census Bureau. The generic clearance
will allow the Census Bureau to focus
its limited resources on actual
operational planning, development of
procedures, and implementation of
programs to update and improve the
geographic information maintained in
the MTdb.
Census will follow the protocol of
past generic clearances: submit
clearance requests at least two weeks
before the planned start of each activity
that give more exact details, examples of
forms, and final estimates of respondent
burden. A year-end summary will be
filed with OMB after the close of each
fiscal year giving results of each activity
conducted.
The following categories of activities
are included under the clearance:
—Local Update of Census Addresses
(LUCA) Appeals.
—New Construction Program.
—Redistricting Data Program.
—Participant Statistical Areas
Program and Tribal Statistical Areas
Program (PSAP and TSAP).
—Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs)
Program.
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
—School District Review Program
(SDRP).
All activities listed above directly
support the Census Bureau’s efforts to
maintain its geographic database
(addresses, features, and political and
statistical boundaries) in partnership
with local agencies nationwide. Because
tribal, state, and local governments have
current knowledge of and data about
where housing growth and change are
occurring in their jurisdictions, their
input into the overall development of
the address list for the census makes a
vital contribution. Similarly, those
governments are in the best position to
work with geographic boundaries, and
benefit themselves when their address
list is complete and data tabulation
areas are drawn to the highest possible
level of accuracy.
Affected Public: State, local or tribal
Governments.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 United States
Code, Sections 16,141, and 193.
OMB Desk Officer: Brian HarrisKojetin, (202) 395–7314.

Commerce, Room 7845, 14th and

information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this

Desk Officer either by fax (202–395–
7245) or e-mail (bharrisk@omb.eop.gov).
