DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


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.
    Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
    Title: 2018 Survey of Compact of Free Association (COFA) Migrants.
    OMB Control Number: 0607-XXXX.
    Form Number(s): COFA-I (2018); COFA-RI (2018); COFA-FAQ (2018); 
COFA-NOV (2018); COFA-RL (2018); COFA-ARC (2018).
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Number of Respondents: 7100.
    Average Hours per Response: 0.333.
    Burden Hours: 2,449.
    Needs and Uses: The Compact of Free Association (COFA) is a joint 
congressional-executive agreement that states that the United States 
will provide funds to Guam, CNMI, Hawaii, and American Samoa for a 
range of development programs and other benefits that are necessary due 
to the in-migration of citizens from the Republic of the Marshall 
Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. 
The COFA Amendments Act of 2003 stipulates that $30,000,000 will be 
made available annually for grants to help defray the costs to 
jurisdictions whose health, educational, social, or public safety 
services are affected by the increase in COFA migrants from the 
Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, 
and the Republic of Palau. The COFA Amendments Act of 2003 requires 
that an enumeration of COFA migrants be conducted no less frequently 
than every five years in Guam, CNMI, Hawaii, and American Samoa to 
assist in the distribution of the funds.
    The proposed survey will collect data on place of birth, age, date 
of birth, sex,

[[Page 10657]]

marital status, and year of entry for COFA migrants residing in Guam 
and CNMI. Only questions pertaining to the needs of the legislation 
will be asked. The questionnaire content and data collection procedures 
will generally follow the American Community Survey (ACS) and Census 
2010 procedures. Since data can be obtained for Hawaii from the ACS, it 
is not cost-effective to include Hawaii in the 2018 Survey of Compact 
of Free Association (COFA) Migrants. Because it would be cost 
prohibitive to design a survey resulting in reliable estimates of the 
small number of COFA migrants in American Samoa, the estimate for this 
area will be derived from existing Census 2010 data.
    Affected Public: Residents of Guam and the Commonwealth of the 
Northern Mariana Islands.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. Section 8(b) and Public Law 108-
188, The Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003.
    This information collection request may be viewed at 
www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce 
collections currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395-5806.
