SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request 

an extension of the current OMB 

approval to conduct a variety of smallscale questionnaire pretesting activities 

under this generic clearance. A block of 

hours will be dedicated to these 

activities for each of the next three 

years. OMB will be informed in writing 

of the purpose and scope of each of 

these activities, as well as the time 

frame and number of burden hours 

used. The number of hours used will 

not exceed the number set aside for this 

purpose. 

This research program will be used by 

the Census Bureau and survey sponsors 

to improve questionnaires and 

procedures, reduce respondent burden, 

and ultimately increase the quality of 

data collected in the Census Bureau 

censuses and surveys. The clearance 

will be used to conduct pretesting of 

decennial, demographic, and economic 

census and survey questionnaires prior 

to fielding them. Pretesting activities 

will involve one of the following 

methods of identifying measurement 

problems with the questionnaire or 

survey procedure: Cognitive interviews, 

focus groups, respondent debriefing, 

behavior coding of respondent/ 

interviewer interaction, and split panel 

tests. 

II. Method of Collection 

Any of the following methods may be 

used: Mail, telephone, face-to-face, 

paper-and-pencil, CATI, CAPI, Internet, 

or IVR.
