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 December 6, 2024, 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: Decennial Census Temporary, Intermittent Applicant
Information Collection.
OMB Control Number: 0607-XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.

7,358 becoming job candidates.
Average Hours per Response: Job applicants = .61 hours and job

Burden Hours: 8,731.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau is implementing an electronic
Decennial Census Temporary, Intermittent Applicant Information
Collection to gather information from job seekers needed to fill
temporary, intermittent Decennial Census Program positions, starting
with the 2026 Census Test. Questions used to qualify and select
applicants for positions are in the job application information section
of the collection. This section collects Social Security numbers, date
of birth, contact information, citizenship status, selective service
and veterans' preference status and documentation, Federal employment/
annuity status, access to transportation, hours of availability and
related job experience. The supplemental voluntary applicant
information section includes questions found on the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission's (EEOC's) common use form 3046-0046,
Demographic Information on Applicants for Federal Employment, developed
to support EEOC Management Directive 715. The voluntary questions also
include recruiting sources and education questions to help improve
future recruiting efforts.
This collection gathers basic information needed for all temporary,
intermittent decennial positions, streamlining the application process
for both the applicant and the Census Bureau, by allowing applicants to
be considered for several positions with one set of application data.
To further evaluate each applicant's fit for positions, as part of the
Decennial Census Temporary, Intermittent Applicant Information
Collection, applicants will answer position related assessment/test and
self-response interview questions.
The Census Bureau discontinued a similar collection for the Current
Surveys, Special Census, and Decennial Census Programs under OMB No.
0607-0139.
Affected Public: Persons interested in working on decennial census
operations/activities.
Frequency: One response is needed from each interested applicant or
candidate. If an applicant becomes a candidate for more than one
position, one response is needed for each position, any questions
previously answered will just need verification.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, U.S.C, Chapter 1, Subchapter II, Section
23(a) and 23(c); Title 5 U.S.C., Part II Chapter 13; Title 5, U.S.C.,
