We invite the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s reporting burden.

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce. Title: Building Permits Survey Program. OMB Control Number: 0607–0094. Form Number(s): C–404, C–411. Type of Request: Regular submission, Request for a Revision of a Currently Approved Collection. Number of Respondents: C–404— 19,842; C–411—3,150. Average Hours per Response: C–404— 9 minutes; C–411—15 minutes. Burden Hours: C–404—17,229; C– 411—788. Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau is requesting a revision of the current Office of Management and Budget clearance for the surveys known as the Survey of Residential Building or Zoning Permit Systems (C–411) and the Report of Building or Zoning Permits Issued for New Privately-Owned Housing Units (C–404) also known as BPS. The C–411 and the C–404 are related collections sharing the same universe called the Active Governments File (AGF) universe. The C–411 is utilized to update the permit issuing status of all jurisdictions in the AGF. The C–404 is utilized to collect both monthly and annual data on the totals of new housing unit permits issued. These two surveys, currently cleared separately under control numbers 0607– 0350 and 0607–0094, respectively, will therefore be combined under one control number and will be collectively called the Building Permits Survey Program. The Census Bureau produces statistics used to monitor activity in the large and dynamic construction industry. Given the importance of this industry, several of the statistical series have been designated by the Office of Management and Budget as Principal Economic Indicators. These statistics help state and local governments and the federal government, as well as private industry, to analyze this important sector of the economy. The BPS, and the Survey of Housing Starts, Sales, and Completions (OMB number 0607–0110), also known as Survey of Construction (SOC) provide widely used measures of construction activity, including the principal economic indicators, New Residential Construction and New Home Sales. Data from the BPS and SOC are used by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) in the calculation of estimates of the Residential Fixed Investment portion of the Nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In addition, data from the BPS are used by the Census Bureau in the calculation of annual population estimates; these estimates are widely used by government agencies to allocate VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:20 Feb 08, 2024 Jkt 262001 PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\09FEN1.SGM 09FEN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
