Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 93 / Monday, May 14, 2018 / Notices
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Current Population Survey
(CPS), Basic Demographic Items.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0049.
Form Number(s): There are no forms
for data collection. We conduct all
interviews on computers.
Type of Request: Regular Submission.
Number of Respondents: 59,000 per
month, all of which also receive the
labor force items directly after the basic
demographic items.
Average Hours per Response: 1.5
minutes.
Burden Hours: 0.025 hours.
Needs and Uses: The CPS has been
the source of official government
statistics on employment and
unemployment for over 60 years. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the
Census Bureau jointly sponsor the basic
monthly survey. The Census Bureau
prepares and conducts all the field
work. At the OMB’s request, the Census
Bureau and the BLS divide the
clearance request in order to reflect the
joint sponsorship and funding of the
CPS program. The BLS submits a
separate clearance request for the
portion of the CPS that collects labor
force information for the civilian
noninstitutionalized population. Some
of the information within that portion
includes employment status, number of
hours worked, job search activities,
earnings, duration of unemployment,
and the industry and occupation
classification of the job held the
previous week. The justification that
follows is in support of the demographic
data collected through the basic
monthly CPS.
The demographic information
collected in the CPS provides a unique
set of data on selected characteristics for
the civilian noninstitutionalized
population. Some of the demographic
information collected are age, marital
status, sex, Armed Forces status,
educational attainment, race, and
Hispanic ethnicity. BLS and the Census
Bureau analyze and publish these
demographic data in conjunction with
the monthly labor force data collected in
the monthly CPS as well as data
collected through periodic
supplemental surveys to the CPS. The
Census Bureau also uses the
demographic data for internal research
projects, including the evaluation of
other surveys. The Census Bureau uses
population estimates from the CPS to
serve as population controls for other
Census programs, such as the American
Time Use Survey. Controls are used in
estimation procedures during data
processing. The ratio of a control to a
sample survey estimate is applied to
that sample estimate, resulting in the
sample survey estimate matching the
control.
In addition to the basic demographic
information, the monthly CPS includes
a small set of questions that are only
asked on an ‘‘as-needed’’ basis, to react
to a severe weather-related event, such
as a hurricane or flood. If such an event
(weather disaster) occurs, and BLS and
the Census Bureau determine a need to
include these questions on the number
of persons in the U.S. displaced as a
result of the disaster, where they
evacuated to, and when they returned
home, the questions are added
temporarily to the survey. The items
typically are included for several
months in the CPS, and once BLS and
the Census Bureau determine that they
are no longer needed, they are removed.
Affected Public: Households.
Frequency: Monthly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, U.S.C.,
Section 182 and Title 29, U.S.C.,
Sections 1–9.
