The decennial census is the cornerstone of our knowledge about our Nation, from apportioning the U.S. House of Representatives to providing the data used by communities, businesses, and people everywhere. The census is the only data gathering operation in the United States that is mandated by the U.S. Constitution (article 1, section 2) and the only one that produces a broad array of information on people and their housing at the smallest geographic levels.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
