SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The U.S. Census Bureau seeks an 

extension for the American Community 

Survey (ACS) and the Puerto Rico 

Community Survey (PRCS). 

Since its founding, the Census Bureau 

has balanced the demands of a growing 

country requiring information about its 

people and economy with concerns for 

respondents’ confidentiality and the 

time and effort it takes respondents to 

answer questions. Beginning with the 

1810 Census, Congress updated the set 

of questions asked in the 1790 and 1800 

Censuses by adding questions to 

support a range of public concerns and
