Agency Form Under Review by the Office of Management and Budget
Federal Register Notice
December 8, 1994
Volume 59, Number 235
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: American Travel Survey.
Form Number(s): ATS-8(L), 9(L), 9(L).1, 9(L).2, 9(L).3, 10.
Agency Approval Number: 0607-0792.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Burden: 148,688 hours.
Number of Respondents: 69,600.
Avg Hours Per Response: 28 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau will conduct the American Travel
Survey (ATS) as part of the larger Census of Transportation. This
survey will provide information on the interregional flows of passenger
travel. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) of the Department
of Transportation (DOT) has contracted with the Census Bureau to
conduct the sampling, data collection, and processing operations for
the ATS. The BTS and DOT will use the data to develop and analyze
legislation affecting billions of dollars in user charges,
infrastructure investments, new technology initiatives, and
productivity of the transportation industry. This revision is necessary
to implement revised data collection and reinterview instruments based
on pretesting done under the Census Bureau's generic clearance for
questionnaire pretesting and also to document changes in the survey's
reinterview methodology. We are submitting this revision using an
abbreviated supporting statement because much of what was in the
original request for clearance remains unchanged and we are not asking
for an extension of the survey's current expiration date.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.
Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained
by calling or writing Gerald Tache, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, (202)
482-3271, Department of Commerce, room 5312, 14th and Constitution
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent to Maria Gonzalez, OMB Desk Officer, room
10201, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
Dated: December 2, 1994.
Gerald Tache,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and Organization.
