SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The Census Bureau proposes an extension of the Age Search Service 
Program. The Age Search is a service provided by the U.S. Census Bureau 
for persons who need official transcripts of personal data as proof of 
age for pensions, retirement plans, Medicare, and Social Security. The 
transcripts are also used as proof of citizenship to obtain passports 
or to provide evidence of family relationship for rights of 
inheritance. The Age Search forms are used by the public in order to 
provide the Census Bureau with the necessary information to conduct a 
search of historical population decennial census records in order to 
provide the requested transcript. The Age Search service is self-
supporting and is funded by the fees collected from the individuals 
requesting the service.

II. Method of Collection

    The Form BC-600, Application for Search of Census Records, is a 
paper public-use form that is submitted by applicants requesting 
information from the decennial census records. This application form is 
available online in PDF format for individuals to download and 
complete. Applicants must enclose the appropriate fee by check or money 
order with the completed and signed Form BC-600 or BC-600(SP) and 
return by mail to the U.S. Census Bureau, Post Office Box 1545, 
Jeffersonville, Indiana 47131.
    The Form BC-649(L), which is called a Not Found Letter, advises the 
applicant that the search for information from the census records was 
unsuccessful. The BC-658(L) is sent to the applicant when insufficient 
information has been received on which to base a search of the census 
records. These two forms request additional information from the 
applicant to aid in the search of census records.
