I had some time today to do some surfing and I snagged this
along the way. Has anyone got a chance to look at any of the
Portland ACS data that is out?

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Bureau of the Census
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
Agency: Bureau of the Census.
Title: 1999 American Community Survey.
Form Number(s): ACS-1, -1(GQ), -3(GQ), -10, -12(L),
-13(L),-14(L), -16(L), -20, -30.
Agency Approval Number: 0607-0810.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved
collection.
Burden: 227,500 hours.
Number of Respondents: 425,000.
Avg Hours Per Response: 32 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau is developing a
methodology to produce ``long-form'' data on a continual
basis that we traditionally have collected once a decade as
part of the decennial census. This methodology is called
continuous measurement (CM). Since the Census Bureau
collects the long-form data only once every ten years, the
data become out of date over the course of the decade. Also,
there is an increasing need for data describing lower
geographic detail. CM will provide current data throughout
the decade for small areas and small subpopulations.
The American Community Survey (ACS) is the data collection
vehicle for CM. The Census Bureau began a test and
demonstration of the capabilities of the survey collection
and processing system in 1995. Four sites around the country
were originally selected. This number has increased slightly
through 1998 (presently nine sites). The 1999 ACS will be
conducted in 45 sites, including the current nine sites.
Over the next three years (1999--2001), we will be greatly
expanding the number of sites covered and comparing ACS
results to those of the long form which will be administered
in the Census 2000. This 3-year period will help us to
understand the differences between the ACS and the Census
2000 long form. Current plans are to put the ACS fully in
place in 2003.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: One-time.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13 USC, Section 182.
OMB Desk Officer: Nancy Kirkendall, (202) 395-7313.
Copies of the above information collection proposal can be

Clearance Officer, (202) 482-3272, Department of Commerce,

Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of
publication of this notice to Nancy Kirkendall, OMB Desk
Officer, room 10201, New Executive Office Building,
Washington, DC 20503.
