Public Law 104-13, The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) governs federal collections of information. Collections of information must be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval under the PRA before they may be conducted. OMB maintains a list of pending and approved collections of information at www.reginfo.gov. The following links take you to Census Bureau collections at that site.
- Pending collections — Collections of information received by OMB, pending approval
- Active collections — Currently approved collections of information
