In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, this collection is approved through 12/31/87
except for questions H1 through H5. Approval is further conditioned
on modifications described in Census memoranda to OMB dated June 2,
1987, June 15, 1987 and July 10, 1987. (Copies of the revised
questionnaires should be sent to OMB when they are printed.) For
the disapproved housing items the practical utility of the
information and the need to collect it via the decennial census
have not been demonstrated.
