Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment 
Request; Current Population Survey, Fertility Supplement

    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 December 8, 2023, during a 60-day comment period. 
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
    Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce.
    Title: Current Population Survey, Fertility Supplement.
    OMB Control Number: 0607-0610.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission, Request for a reinstatement 
without change of a previously approved collection.
    Number of Respondents: 30,000.
    Average Hours per Response: 1 minute.
    Burden Hours: 500.
    Needs and Uses: The Fertility Supplement is conducted in 
conjunction with the Current Population Survey (CPS). The Census Bureau 
sponsors the supplement questions, which were previously collected in 
June 2022, and have been asked periodically since 1971. This survey 
provides information used mainly by government and private analysts to 
project future population growth and to aid policymakers and private 
analysts in their decisions affected by changes in family size and 
composition. Past studies have discovered noticeable changes in the 
patterns of fertility rates and the timing of the first birth. 
Potential needs for government assistance, such as aid to families with 
dependent children, child care, and maternal health care for single 
parent households, can be estimated using CPS characteristics matched 
with fertility data.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Biennially.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 141 and 182; and title 29 U.S.C. 
1-9.
