Terms of Clearance: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act and 5 CFR 1320 the "Report on Shipments to Federal Government Agencies - MA-175" (OMB No. 0607-0149) is being withdrawn by the Census Bureau after consultation with the Department of Defense (DOD), the primary sponsor of the Section B of the proposed information collection. This withdrawal by Census and DOD is in response to public comments that the survey instrument represented an onerous respondent burden. The Census Bureau plans to resubmit the portion of the questionnaire concerning foreign sources of supply of goods at a later date. Census and DOD plan to work closely with the potential respondents on the survey collection design to minimize the respondent burden. OMB staff recognizes the legitimate need for information concerning foreign sources of supply and will work with the agencies and the achieved. OMB is simultaneously approving the MC-9675 (OMB No. 0607-0624), a substitute Census Bureau Survey for the proposed MA-175. The MC-9675 represents a burden reduction of at least 50% compared to the initial MA-175 proposed by Census. The MC-9675 is also proposed as a supplementary schedule for the 1987 Economic Census, which conforms to Title 13 requirements for mandatory surveys.
