DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

 
Submission For OMB Review; Comment Request

    DOC has submitted 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 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of the Census.
    Title: 1999 Annual Demographic Survey--Supplement to the Current 
Population Survey.
    Form Number(s): CPS-580, CPS-589(SP), CPS-676, CPS-676(SP).
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0354.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of an expired 
collection.
    Burden: 20,864 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 50,500.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 26 and one-half minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Bureau of the Census conducts the Annual 
Demographic Survey (ADS) every year in March as a supplement to the 
Current Population Survey (CPS). The Bureau of the Census, the Bureau 
of Labor Statistics, and the Department of Health and Human Services 
sponsor this supplement. In the ADS, we collect information on work 
experience, migration, personal income and noncash benefits, household 
noncash benefits, and race.
    The work experience items in the ADS provide a unique measure of 
the dynamic nature of the labor force as viewed over a one-year period. 
The income data from the ADS are used by social planners, economists, 
Government officials, and market researchers to gauge the economic 
well-being of the Nation as a whole, and selected population groups of 
interest. Researchers evaluate March income data not only to determine 
poverty levels, but also to determine whether Government programs are 
reaching eligible households.
    We have made question changes, additions, and deletions to the 1998 
supplement to address changes caused by the recent welfare reform and 
changes recommended by interviewers, data users, and others.
