(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:* National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). *Title:* Application for the Low-Power Television and Translator Digital-to-Analog Conversion Program. *Form Number(s):* DTV-4. *OMB Approval Number:* None. *Type of Review:* Regular submission. *Burden Hours:* 4,000. *Number of Respondents:* 4,000. *Average Hours per Response:* 1. *Needs and Uses:* The Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005

(Act)permits low-power television and translator stations to continue to broadcast in analog after February 17, 2009, the date on which full-power television facilities are required to convert to digital broadcasting. Most low-power television or translator stations extend the service area of a full-power television station by receiving the full-power station's off-air signal and then rebroadcasting the programming on another channel. After the full-power television station discontinues analog broadcasting on February 17, 2009, the low-power television station must be able to receive the full-power station's digital off-air signal. The Act directs NTIA to administer a program through which an eligible low-power television or translator station may receive compensation toward the cost of the purchase of a digital-to-analog conversion device that enables the conversion of the incoming digital signal of its corresponding full-power television station to analog format for transmission on the station's analog channels. The application makes possible the required review process for selecting applicants are funded. *Affected Public:* Business or for-profit organizations; not-for-profit institutions; individuals or households; state, local, or tribal government. *Frequency:* One-time-only. *Respondent's Obligation:* Required to obtain or retain a benefit. *OMB Desk Officer:* Jasmeet Seehra,

DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before September 24, 2007. ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments to Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance Officer, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at *DHynek@doc.gov* ). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or copies of the information collection instrument(s) and instructions should be directed to Neal E. McArthur, 4600 Silver Hill Rd., Room 5H036B, Suitland, MD 20746 (or via the Internet at *Neal.E.McArthur@census.gov* ). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The BC-170A, BC-170B, and the BC-170D are used to collect information such as personal data and work experience from job applicants. Selecting officials review the information shown on the form to evaluate an applicant's eligibility for employment and to determine the best-qualified applicants to fill Census jobs. The three forms are tailored to the particular job type for which application is made. The BC-170 series of forms is used throughout the census and intercensal periods for the special census, pretests, and dress rehearsals for short-term time limited appointments. Applicants completing the form for census related positions are applying for temporary jobs in office and field positions (clerks, enumerators, crew leaders, supervisors). In addition, the BC-170 may be used as an alternative when applying for temporary/permanent office and field positions (clerks, field representatives, supervisors) on a recurring survey in one of the Census Bureau's twelve Regional Offices

(ROs)throughout the United States. During the decennial census, the BC-170 is intended to expedite hiring and selection in situations requiring large numbers of temporary employees for assignments of a limited duration. The use of this form is limited to only situations which require the establishment of a temporary office and/or involve special, one-time or recurring survey operations at one of the ROs. The form has been demonstrated to meet our recruitment needs for temporary workers and requires significantly less burden than the Office of Personnel Management

(OPM)Optional Forms that are available for use by the public when applying for Federal positions. II. Method of Collection The information is collected in paper format at the time of testing for temporary and permanent positions. Potential employees being tested complete the application at that time. III. Data *OMB Number:* 0607-0139. *Form Numbers:* BC-170A, BC-170B, and BC-170D. *Type of Review:* Regular submission. *Affected Public:* Individuals or households. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 3,000,000. *Estimated Time per Response:* 15 minutes. *Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:* 750,000. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* $0. *Respondent's Obligation:* Required to obtain or retain a benefit. *Legal Authority:* Title 13 U.S.C. Section 23. IV. Request for Comments *Comments are invited on:*

(a)Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility;

(b)the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden (including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information;

(c)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

Abstract The Business and Professional Classification Report survey, (Form SQ-CLASS) collects information about new businesses to properly classify them for Census Bureau economic surveys. The survey samples businesses with newly assigned Employer Identification Numbers

(EINs)from the Internal Revenue Service

(IRS)quarterly, on the SQ-CLASS form. This survey is conducted only once for each new business that is sampled. The SQ-CLASS form collects minimum data about a business on such areas as: primary business activity, EIN verification, company structure, size, and business operations. This information is used to replenish the Census Bureau survey universe with properly classified new businesses, updated administrative information, and current business data, which reduce respondent burdens to Census surveys and assure high quality economic estimates. The Census Bureau plans only minimal changes to the form and instruction sheet. The wording of the questions and instructions for both sales and inventory will be reworded to be in line with the Census Bureau's monthly and annual surveys. II. Method of Collection The information will be collected by mail, fax, and telephone follow-up. III.
