SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Overseas Citizen Population Survey; OMB Control Number 0704– 0539. Type of Request: Extension. Number of Respondents: 18,000. Responses per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 18,000. Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes. Annual Burden Hours: 4,500. Needs and Uses: The primary objective of the Overseas Citizen Population Survey (OCPS), conducted on behalf of FVAP, is to refine FVAP’s methodology for estimating the number of overseas U.S. civilians who are eligible to vote and who have registered and participated in the past. These estimates are then used to address the question of whether the registration and voting propensity of the overseas civilian population differs from that of comparable domestic or military populations. Subsequent to each federal election year, FVAP must report to Congress voter registration and participation rates for Uniformed Services voters and overseas citizens. Previous attempts to collect information SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 on the overseas citizen population to identify and measure its voter registration and participation rates in Federal elections suffered from significant bias; this effort is focused on refining a well-established method to report voter registration and participation rates from a more welldefined subgroup of overseas civilians. Conducting this research will help FVAP meet its federal and congressional mandates in terms of reporting annually on its activities and overall voter registration and participation rates after each general federal election. The data obtained through this study is also intended to provide insights into existing barriers to UOCAVA voting and recommendations for addressing these challenges. To obtain the necessary information, the OCPS uses data collected from a sample of registered overseas civilian voters in conjunction with previous country level estimates developed by FVAP research and establishes a research method to assist FVAP in reporting voter registration and participation rates for general federal elections.
