The Department of Commerce will submit the following information

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 July 26, 2022 during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau is committed to conducting
research towards census and survey operations that costs less while
maintaining high quality results. The Census Bureau requests an
extension, without change, of our previous OMB approval to conduct a
series of studies to research and evaluate how to improve data
collection activities for data collection programs at the Census
Bureau. These studies will explore how the Census Bureau can improve
efficiency, data quality, and response rates and reduce respondent
burden in future census and survey operations, evaluations and
experiments. This research program is for respondent communication,
questionnaire and procedure development and evaluation purposes. We
will use data tabulations to evaluate the results of questionnaire
testing.
Affected Public: Individuals or households, businesses or other for
profit, farms.

Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary or Mandatory, depending on cited
authority.

for Census Bureau sponsored surveys, and Title 13 and 15 for surveys
sponsored by other Federal agencies. We do not now know what other
titles will be referenced, since we do not know what survey
questionnaires will be pretested during the course of the clearance.
