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: Current Population Survey—
Housing Vacancy Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0179.
Form Number(s): HVS–600, BC–1428,
CPS–263(L).
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 4,318.
Number of Respondents: 7,000.
Average Hours per Response: 3
minutes.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau
requests clearance for the collection of
demographic information in the
Housing Vacancy Survey (HVS)
beginning in July 2014. The current
clearance expires June 30, 2014. The
HVS has been conducted since 1956 and
serves a broad array of data users.
The U.S. Census Bureau collects the
HVS data for a sample of vacant housing

units identified in the monthly Current
Population Survey (CPS) sample. These
data provide the only quarterly statistics
on rental vacancy rates and home
ownership rates for the United States,
the four census regions, inside vs.
outside metropolitan areas (MSAs), the
50 States, the District of Columbia, and
the 75 largest MSAs. Private and public
sector organizations use these rates
extensively to gauge and analyze the
housing market.
In addition, the rental vacancy rate is
a component of the index of leading
economic indicators published by the
Department of Commerce. It is used by
the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA), National
Association of Home Builders, Federal
Reserve Board (FRB), OMB, Department
of the Treasury, and the White House
Council of Economic Advisers.
Policy analysts, program managers,
budget analysts, and Congressional staff
use data obtained from the remaining
questions that do not deal specifically
with the vacancy rate to advise the
executive and legislative branches of
government with respect to number and
characteristics of units available for
occupancy and the suitability of
housing initiatives
The Census Bureau produces a press
release, ‘‘Census Bureau Reports on
Residential Vacancies and Home
Ownership,’’ on a quarterly basis. In
addition, we place the HVS data on the
Internet for users to access. The Internet
address for the HVS data is https://
www.census.gov/housing/hvs. Several
other government agencies use these
data on a continuing basis. For example,
the BEA uses the HVS data in
calculating consumer expenditures for
housing as a component of the gross
domestic product; the HUD relies on the
HVS data to measure the adequacy of
the supply of rental and homeowner
units and works with the White House
in measuring homeownership for
minorities. The National Association of
Home Builders, the National
Association of Realtors, the Federal
National Mortgage Association, the FRB,
the Home Loan Mortgage Corporation,
and the American Federation of LaborCongress of Industrial Organizations are
among the many users in the private
sector who routinely use the HVS data
in making policy decisions relating to
the housing market. In addition,
investment firms use the HVS data to
analyze market trends and for economic
forecasting.
The continuation of the HVS ensures
the historical continuity of a data series
that began in 1956. If eliminated, both
public and private organizations would

not have the data to evaluate housing
markets with regard to housing

and housing inventory estimates by
tenure and vacancy status.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Monthly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, USC, Section
