SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The U.S. Census Bureau is requesting clearance for the collection of data concerning the Fertility Supplement to be conducted in conjunction with the June 2010 CPS. The Census Bureau sponsors the supplement questions, which were previously collected in June 2008, and have been asked periodically since 1971. This survey provides information used mainly by government and private analysts to project future population growth, to analyze child spacing, and to aid policymakers in their decisions affected by changes in family size and composition. Past studies have discovered noticeable changes in the patterns of fertility rates and the timing of the first birth. Potential needs for government assistance, such as aid to families with dependent children, child care, and maternal health care for single parent households, can be estimated using CPS characteristics matched with fertility data. II. Method of Collection The fertility information will be collected by both personal visit and telephone interviews in conjunction with the regular June CPS interviewing. All interviews are conducted using computer-assisted interviewing. III. Data OMB Number: 0607–0610. Form Number: There are no forms. We conduct all interviewing on computers. Type of Review: Regular. Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Estimated Number of Respondents: 30,000. Estimated Time per Response: 30 seconds. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 250. Estimated Total Annual Cost: There are no costs to the respondents other than their time to answer the CPS questions. E:\FR\FM\04DEN1.SGM 04DEN1
