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: Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic 
Supplement.
    OMB Control Number: 0607-0354.
    Form Number(s): There are no forms. We conduct all interviews on 
computers.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Number of Respondents: 78,000.
    Average Hours per Response: 0.41667.
    Burden Hours: 32,500.
    Needs and Uses: Information on work experience, personal income, 
noncash benefits, current and previous year health insurance coverage, 
employer-sponsored insurance take-up, and migration is collected 
through the ASEC. The work experience items in the ASEC provide a 
unique measure of the dynamic nature of the labor force as viewed over 
a one-year period. These items produce statistics that show movements 
in and out of the labor force by measuring the number of periods of 
unemployment experienced by people, the number of different employers 
worked for during the year, the principal reasons for unemployment, and 
part-/full-time attachment to the labor force. We can make indirect 
measurements of discouraged workers and others with a casual attachment 
to the labor market.
    The income data from the ASEC are used by social planners, 
economists, government officials, and market researchers to gauge the 
economic well-being of the country as a whole, and selected population 
groups of interest. Government planners and researchers use these data 
to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of various assistance 
programs. Market researchers use these data to identify and isolate 
potential customers. Social planners use these data to forecast 
economic conditions and to identify special groups that seem to be 
especially sensitive to economic fluctuations. Economists use ASEC data 
to determine the effects of various economic forces, such as inflation, 
recession, recovery, and so on, and their differential effects on 
various population groups.
    The ASEC is the official source of national poverty estimates 
calculated in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget's 
Statistical Policy Directive 14. Two other important national estimates 
derived

[[Page 42253]]

from the ASEC are real median household income and the number and 
percent of individuals without health insurance coverage.
    The ASEC also contains questions related to: (1) Medical 
expenditures; (2) presence and cost of a mortgage on property; (3) 
child support payments; and (4) amount of child care assistance 
received. These questions enable analysts and policymakers to obtain 
better estimates of family and household income, and more precisely 
gauge poverty status.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, Sections 141, 182; 
and Title 29, United States Code, Sections 1-9.
    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 [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.

Departmental Lead PRA Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
