DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Census Bureau


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit 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: The 
Fertility Supplement to the Current Population Survey. This survey, 
conducted every two years in June, is a supplemental survey asked of 
female household members ages 15 to 50. It will be collected in June 
2020, to obtain the number of children ever given birth to (if any), 
the year the first child was born, and the marital or cohabitation 
status at the time the first child was born.
    Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
    Title: Current Population Survey, Fertility Supplement.
    OMB Control Number: 0607-0610.
    Form Number(s): There are no forms. We conduct all interviews on 
computers.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, without change, of a previously 
approved collection for which approval has expired.
    Number of Respondents: 30,000.
    Average Hours per Response: Approximately 1 minute per response.
    Burden Hours: 500.
    Needs and Uses: This survey provides information used mainly by 
government and private analysts to project future population growth, to 
analyze child spacing, 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, United States Code, Sections 8(b), 141, 
and 182; and Title 29, United States Code, Sections 1-9 authorize the 
Census Bureau to collect this information.
    This information collection request may be viewed at 
www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce 
collections currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202)395-5806.
