U.S. Census Bureau
Notice of Correction; 2020 Census
Post-Enumeration Survey Initial and
Final Housing Unit Follow-Up
U.S. Census Bureau,
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; correction; Notice of
changes to the 2020 Census PostEnumeration Survey (PES) Initial
Housing Follow-Up (IHUFU) field
operation.
AGENCY:
This document constitutes a
notice of intent to provide a 30-day
comment period on schedule changes,
procedures for collecting information
changes and estimate of hour of burden
changes to the approved information
collection for the 2020 Census PostEnumeration Survey (PES) Initial
Housing Follow-Up (IHUFU) field
operation. The Department of
Commerce, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, invites the general
public and other federal agencies to take
this opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing information
SUMMARY:
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Census Bureau is issuing this notice to
inform the public of changes in
schedule, procedures for collecting
information, and estimate of hour of
burden, associated with the notice for
public comment, titled ‘‘2020 Census
Post-Enumeration Survey Initial and
Final Housing Unit Follow-Up,’’
published in the Federal Register on
April 17, 2019 (Vol. 84, No. 74, pp.
16000–16002).
The following highlights the proposed
revisions and the reasons:
1. The PES IHUFU and IHUFU
Quality Control operations will occur
July 23, 2020, through September 21,
2020, instead of May 6, 2020, through
June 19, 2020, because of COVID–19
restrictions.
2. Procedure changes for collecting
information for the PES IHUFU field
operation are proposed to minimize
personal contact because of COVID–19.
Originally, listers were instructed to
contact a household member (or a proxy
or by observation as a last resort) to
complete IHUFU form (D–1303) at each
housing unit (HU) selected for followup. Now listers are allowed to complete
the form by observation first before
attempting to interview by telephone or
by a personal visit. For addresses that
cannot be confirmed by observation, a
letter will be sent to the addresses, along
with the confidentiality notice, inviting
respondents to call the lister to set up
a telephone interview. If after five days
Estimated
number of
respondents
Operation
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
the IHUFU case cannot be completed by
observation or the respondent has not
followed up based on the letter, then a
personal visit is required. If the
respondent or the lister does not feel
comfortable conducting the interview in
person at the door, then the lister may
ask for the phone number and conduct
a telephone interview.
3. The estimated workload is now
approximately 253,800 (172,000 original
estimate) HUs for PES IHUFU in
selected basic collection units (BCUs) in
the 50 states and the District of
Columbia, and 31,400 (8,000 original
estimate) HUs for IHUFU in Puerto Rico.
The Census Bureau originally
underestimated the workload for 2020
Puerto Rico IHUFU, but the revised
numbers reported in this document
reflect the correct estimated workload.
From the IHUFU workload, we will
select a 15 percent sample of
approximately 38,070 (25,800 original
estimate) HUs from all BCUs in the 50
states and District of Columbia, and
4,710 (1,200 original estimate) HUs from
all BCUs in Puerto Rico for the IHUFU
QC operation. To calculate the
estimated burden hours, we assumed a
theoretical 100 percent response rate
and a completion time of five minutes
per case. The total estimated respondent
burden for the IHUFU operation is
approximately 27,333 (17,250) hours.
However, since the Collection of
Information has changed to primarily
observation, the actual total respondent
burden is expected to be less.

The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general

information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on April 20,
2020 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BEA), Commerce.
Title: Expenditures Incurred by
Recipients of Biomedical Research and
Development Awards from the National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
OMB Control Number: 0608–0069.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission,
extension of a current information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 150.
Average Hours per Response: 16
hours is the average but may vary
among respondents because of
differences in institution structure, size,
and complexity.
Burden Hours: 2,400 hours.
Needs and Uses: The survey obtains
the distribution of expenditures
incurred by recipients of biomedical
research awards from the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) and will
provide information on how the NIH
award amounts are expended across
several major categories. This
information, along with wage and price
data from other published sources, will
be used to generate the Biomedical
Research and Development Price Index
(BRDPI). The Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) of the Department of
Commerce develops this index for NIH
under a reimbursable contract. The
BRDPI is an index of prices paid for the
labor, supplies, equipment, and other
inputs required to perform the
biomedical research the NIH supports in
its intramural laboratories and through
its awards to extramural organizations.
The BRDPI is a vital tool for planning
the NIH research budget and analyzing
future NIH programs. A survey of award
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
recipients is currently the only means
for updating the expenditure category
weights that are used to prepare the
BRDPI.
A survey questionnaire with a cover
letter that includes a brief description
of, and rationale for, the survey will be
sent to potential respondents by August
2020, 2021, and 2022. A report of the
respondent’s expenditures of the NIH
award amounts following the proposed
format for expenditure categories
attached to the survey’s cover letter, will
be requested to be returned no later than
December 8, which in most years will be
approximately 120 days after mailing.
Survey respondents will be selected
based on award levels, which determine
the weight of the respondent in the
biomedical research and development
price index. BEA proposes to survey 150
organizations that receive NIH
biomedical research awards. This will
include the top 100 organizations in
total awards received; 40 additional
organizations that are not primarily in
the ‘‘Research and Development (R&D)
contracts’’ category; and 10 additional
organizations that are primarily in the
‘‘R&D contracts’’ category. Based on
awards data for FY 2019 by type of
organization, the top 100 organizations
received $20.8 billion in awards
(approximately 77 percent of total
awards); the remaining awards-receiving
organizations received $6.1 billion.
Affected Public: Universities or other
organizations that are NIH award
recipients.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: 45 CFR 75.302,
75.308, 75.361, and 75.364.

U.S. Census Bureau
Notice of Correction; 2020 Census Post-Enumeration Survey Initial
and Final Housing Unit Follow-Up
AGENCY: U.S. Census Bureau, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; correction; Notice of changes to the 2020 Census Post-
Enumeration Survey (PES) Initial Housing Follow-Up (IHUFU) field
operation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document constitutes a notice of intent to provide a 30-
day comment period on schedule changes, procedures for collecting
information changes and estimate of hour of burden changes to the
approved information collection for the 2020 Census Post-Enumeration
Survey (PES) Initial Housing Follow-Up (IHUFU) field operation. The
Department of Commerce, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other
federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Census Bureau is issuing this
notice to inform the public of changes in schedule, procedures for
collecting information, and estimate of hour of burden, associated with
the notice for public comment, titled ``2020 Census Post-Enumeration
Survey Initial and Final Housing Unit Follow-Up,'' published in the
Federal Register on April 17, 2019 (Vol. 84, No. 74, pp. 16000-16002).
The following highlights the proposed revisions and the reasons:
1. The PES IHUFU and IHUFU Quality Control operations will occur
July 23, 2020, through September 21, 2020, instead of May 6, 2020,
through June 19, 2020, because of COVID-19 restrictions.
2. Procedure changes for collecting information for the PES IHUFU
field operation are proposed to minimize personal contact because of
COVID-19. Originally, listers were instructed to contact a household
member (or a proxy or by observation as a last resort) to complete
IHUFU form (D-1303) at each housing unit (HU) selected for follow-up.
Now listers are allowed to complete the form by observation first
before attempting to interview by telephone or by a personal visit. For
addresses that cannot be confirmed by observation, a letter will be
sent to the addresses, along with the confidentiality notice, inviting
respondents to call the lister to set up a telephone interview. If
after five days the IHUFU case cannot be completed by observation or
the respondent has not followed up based on the letter, then a personal
visit is required. If the respondent or the lister does not feel
comfortable conducting the interview in person at the door, then the
lister may ask for the phone number and conduct a telephone interview.
3. The estimated workload is now approximately 253,800 (172,000
original estimate) HUs for PES IHUFU in selected basic collection units
(BCUs) in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, and 31,400 (8,000
original estimate) HUs for IHUFU in Puerto Rico. The Census Bureau
originally underestimated the workload for 2020 Puerto Rico IHUFU, but
the revised numbers reported in this document reflect the correct
estimated workload.
From the IHUFU workload, we will select a 15 percent sample of
approximately 38,070 (25,800 original estimate) HUs from all BCUs in
the 50 states and District of Columbia, and 4,710 (1,200 original
estimate) HUs from all BCUs in Puerto Rico for the IHUFU QC operation.
To calculate the estimated burden hours, we assumed a theoretical 100
percent response rate and a completion time of five minutes per case.
The total estimated respondent burden for the IHUFU operation is
approximately 27,333 (17,250) hours. However, since the Collection of
Information has changed to primarily observation, the actual total
respondent burden is expected to be less.
