DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Census Bureau
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. 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. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on April 15, 2022, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Commerce.
Title: Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0607-0892.
Form Number(s): TC-9501, TC-9502.
Type of Request: Regular submission, Request for a Revision of a
Currently Approved Collection.
Number of Respondents: 150,000.
Average Hours per Response: 65 minutes.
Burden Hours: 162,500.
Needs and Uses: The 2021 VIUS collects data to measure the physical
and operational characteristics of trucks from a sample of
approximately 150,000 trucks. These trucks are selected from more than
190 million private and commercial trucks registered with motor vehicle
departments in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Census
Bureau is collecting the data for the sampled trucks from the
registered truck owners.
The VIUS is the only comprehensive source of information on the
physical and operational characteristics of the Nation's truck
population. The VIUS provides unique, essential information for
government, business, and academia. The U.S. Department of
Transportation, State Departments of Transportation, and transportation
consultants compliment VIUS microdata as extremely useful and flexible
to meet constantly changing requests that cannot be met with
predetermined tabular publications. The planned microdata file will
enable them to cross-tabulate data to meet their needs.
This revision is being submitted to correct the legal citations
related to the collection authority for the Vehicle Inventory and Use
Survey (VIUS). We initially received clearance to add the corrected
citation using the emergency clearance process, which was approved
separately. The emergency clearance was necessary because we needed to
implement the change immediately during data collection for the survey.
This revision is to now add Title 13 U.S.C., Section 221 to the
collection authority under the original clearance and to allow a full
review at OMB.
[[Page 37307]]
Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations.

Legal Authority: The VIUS will be collected under the authority of
Title 13 U.S.C. 131 and 182, which authorize the collection, and
Sections 221, 224 and 225, which make the collection mandatory for all
respondents.
