    Title: Census Employment Inquiry.
    OMB Control Number: 0607-0139.
    Form Number(s): BC-170A, BC-170B, BC-170D.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden Hours: 16,250.
    Number of Respondents: 65,000.
    Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau requests continued OMB approval 
for the BC-170A, BC-170B, and the BC-170D, Census Employment Inquiry. 
We are also requesting minor modifications to the data collected. The 
BC-170 is used to collect information such as personal data and work 
experience from job applicants. Selecting officials review the 
information shown on the form to evaluate an applicant's eligibility 
for employment and to determine the best qualified applicants to fill 
Census jobs.
    The BC-170 is completed by job applicants before or at the time 
they are tested. Selecting officials will review the information shown 
on the form and determine the applicant's employment suitability. 
Failure to collect this information could result in the hiring of 
unsuitable and/or unqualified workers.
    The BC-170 is used throughout the census and intercensal periods 
for the special census, pretests, and dress rehearsals for short-term 
time limited appointments. Applicants completing the form BC-170D for a 
census related position are applying for temporary jobs in office and 
field positions (clerks, enumerators, crew leaders, supervisors). In 
addition, as an option to the OF-612, Optional Application for Federal 
Employment, the BC-170A may be used when applying for temporary/
permanent office and field positions (clerks, field representatives, 
supervisors) on a recurring survey in one of the Census Bureau's 12 
Regional Offices (ROs) throughout the United States. The Form BC-170B 
is used for special censuses for temporary field positions 
(enumerators).
    The use of this form is limited to only situations which require 
the establishment of a temporary office and/or involve special, one-
time or recurring survey operations at one of the ROs. In preparation 
for the next decennial census, the BC-170 is intended to expedite 
hiring and selection in situations requiring large numbers of temporary

demonstrated to meet our recruitment needs for temporary workers and 
requires significantly less burden than the Office of Personnel 
Management (OPM) Optional Forms that are available for use by the 
public when applying for Federal positions.
    The form has been slightly modified for specific usage by each of 
the three areas of usage. The variation of forms by operation is to 
collect specific data needed based on the nature of the operation. The 
area of difference relates to the collection of work history. A cover 
sheet is attached to each respective BC-170 to provide applicants with 
a brief description of their prospective job duties with the Census 
Bureau; the cover sheet message will vary for decennial, special 
censuses, or recurring survey positions.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain benefits.
