A National Research Council ad hoc steering committee will organize a public workshop for the U.S. Census Bureau to discuss concerns of the public and Congress about the actual and perceived burden of the continuous American Community Survey (ACS), which replaced the previous decennial census long-form sample. The workshop will consider burden from the questionnaire and communication and follow-up procedures with respondents. The workshop will also address approaches that promise to reduce burden, some of which may also improve accuracy and/or reduce costs. Among such approaches are: modifying the frequency of asking questions or whether questions are asked of the full sample or a subset (matrix sampling); replacing survey questions with data from administrative records or other sources; optimizing the appeal of communications to respondents to encourage response; and tailoring questionnaires for special populations, such as those in group quarters. A summary of the workshop discussions will be prepared by a designated rapporteur for review and public release. Presentation materials and an audio recording will be posted on the Internet.
