The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on November 

17, 2017 (Vol. 82, No. 221, p. 54317– 

54320) during a 60-day comment 

period. This notice allows for an 

additional 30 days for public comments. 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: American Community Survey 

Methods Panel Tests: Regional Office 

internet Letter Test and Initial Mailing 

Pressure Seal Test. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0936. 

Form Number(s): ACS–1, ACS 

internet, ACS CAPI. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Request for a Nonsubstantive Change of 

a Currently Approved Collection. 

Number of Respondents: 182,400. 

Average Hours per Response: 40 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: No additional burden 

hours are requested under this 

submission. 

Needs and Uses: The American 

Community Survey (ACS) collects 

detailed socioeconomic data from about 

3.5 million housing units in the United 

States and 36,000 in Puerto Rico each 

year. The ACS also collects detailed 

socioeconomic data from about 195,000 

residents living in group quarters. 

Residents of sampled housing units are 

invited to self-respond to the ACS 

through a series of up to five mailings, 

sent over a period of approximately six 

and a half weeks. The Census Bureau 

selects a subsample of the housing units 

that do not respond by internet, mail, or 

through the Telephone Questionnaire 

Assistance (TQA). This subsample of 

housing units is assigned to the 

Computer-Assisted Personal Interview 

(CAPI) nonresponse follow-up data 

collection mode. During CAPI, field 

representatives call or visit these 

subsampled addresses to attempt to 

complete an interview. 

An ongoing data collection effort with 

an annual sample of this magnitude 

requires that the ACS continue research, 

testing, and evaluations aimed at 

reducing respondent burden, improving 

data quality, reducing data collection 

costs, and improving the ACS 

questionnaire content and related data 

collection materials. The ACS Methods 

Panel is a research program designed to 

address and respond to issues and 

survey needs. This request documents 

two Methods Panel tests: The Initial 

Mailing Pressure Seal Test and the 

Regional Office internet Letter Test. 

The Initial Mailing Pressure Seal Test 

is designed to test the use of a pressure 

seal mailer in the first mailing sent to 

sampled housing units. The purpose of 

the test is to understand the effect on 

self-response of sending a pressure seal 

mailer instead of the initial mail 

package that is currently sent. Evidence 

from mailings sent in 2020 suggest that 

the pressure seal mailer may be more 

effective at soliciting an internet 

response than a mail package containing 

a letter, brochure, and instruction card. 

However, several confounding factors 

could have caused an increase in selfresponse other than the mail type. First, 

the 2020 Census was conducting the 

nonresponse follow-up operation and 

advertising about the importance of 

responding to the 2020 Census, which 

some respondents confuse with the 

ACS. Second, the initial mail package 

lets respondents know that if they are 

unable to complete the survey online, 

then we will send a paper questionnaire 

in a few weeks. This message was 

omitted from the pressure seal mailer. 

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, 

we were unable to mail paper ACS 

questionnaires to all nonresponding 

households. We theorize that telling 

respondents that they will have another 

opportunity to respond later delays 

response. Finally, the internet User ID 

in the initial mail package is included 

on the instruction card, not in the letter. 

In the pressure seal mailer, the User ID 

is included very clearly in a call-out 

box. We theorize that making the log-in 

instructions clear and easy to find 

increases internet response. 

The proposed test will include four 

experimental treatments and a control: 

An initial mail package (control), a 

modified initial mail package, and three 

variations of the pressure seal mailer. 

Addresses not part of the test will 

receive the initial mail package. The 

experimental design of this test allows 

the Census Bureau to assess the impact 

of using a pressure seal mailer instead 

of an initial mail package and how 

information about a paper questionnaire 

being mailed impacts response rates. 

To field this test, the Census Bureau 

plans to use the ACS production sample 

(clearance number: 0607–0810). Thus, 

there is no increase in burden from this 

test since each treatment will include 

the same number of mailings and result 

in the same burden estimate per 

interview (40 minutes). The Census 

Bureau proposes this test to be 

conducted in late spring or summer of 

2021 (pending operational constraints) 

and adhere to the same data collection 

protocols as production ACS. 

The ACS sample design randomly 

assigns housing units in each monthly 

sample panel to one of 24 groups of 

approximately 12,000 addresses each. 

Each group, called a methods panel 

group, is representative of the full 

monthly sample. Each monthly sample 

is a representative subsample of the

entire annual sample and is 

representative of the sampling frame. 

The Census Bureau proposes to use two 

randomly selected methods panel 

groups for each treatment. Hence, each 

treatment will have a sample size of 

approximately 24,000 addresses. In 

total, approximately 96,000 addresses 

will be used for the four experimental 

treatments and 24,000 for the control. 

The remaining ACS sample will receive 

production materials. 

The Census Bureau proposes to 

evaluate the experimental treatments by 

comparing self-response rates overall 

and by mode. For each comparison, a 

two-tailed t-test will be used to measure 

the impact on the evaluation measure in 

either direction with 80 percent power 

at the a = 0.1 level. The sample size will 

be able to detect differences of 

approximately 1.74 percentage points 

between the self-response return rates 

between two experimental treatments. 

To assess the costs of implementing any 

of the experimental treatments, we will 

also conduct a cost analysis. 

The Regional Office internet Letter 

Test is designed to test content changes 

to a letter used to encourage online selfresponse during CAPI. This letter is sent 

as a pressure-seal mailer from the 

Census Bureau’s National Processing 

Center to all mailable sampled 

addresses in the CAPI universe. 

The changes to the pressure seal letter 

proposed for this test are (1) the message 

on the outside of the pressure seal 

mailer (options include either a ‘‘Past 

Due’’ message or ‘‘Required by Law’’) 

and (2) whether to include information 

about TQA as a response option, or only 

mention the internet. The experimental 

design isolates each of the content 

factors being studied. There is one 

control, which uses production 

materials, and three experimental 

treatments. 

To field this test, the Census Bureau 

plans to use the ACS production sample 

(clearance number: 0607–0810). There is 

no increase in burden from this test 

because each treatment will include the 

same number of mailings and result in 

the same burden estimate per interview 

(40 minutes). The Census Bureau 

proposes that this test be conducted in 

the summer of 2021 (pending 

operational constraints) and adhere to 

the same data collection protocols as 

production ACS. 

The Census Bureau proposes to use 

six randomly selected methods panel 

groups for each treatment. Each 

treatment will have a sample size of 

approximately 15,600 addresses. In 

total, approximately 46,800 addresses 

will be used for the three experimental 

treatments and 15,600 for the control. 

All mailable CAPI cases are included in 

the experiment. 

The Census Bureau proposes to 

evaluate the experimental treatments by 

comparing self-response rates during 

CAPI and overall CAPI response rates, 

as well as refusal rates and other 

interview outcomes. The TQA call 

volume will also be monitored. For each 

comparison, a two-tailed test will be 

used so that the Census Bureau can 

measure the impact on the evaluation 

measure in either direction with 80 

percent power at the a = 0.1 level. The 

sample size will be able to detect 

differences of approximately 1.74 

percentage points between the selfresponse return rates between two 

experimental treatments. A cost analysis 

will also be conducted.
