SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

In 1999 the American Community

Survey (ACS) will be conducted in 53

counties. Data from the ACS will

determine the feasibility of a continuous

measurement system that provides

socioeconomic data on a continual basis

throughout the decade. The Census

Bureau must provide a sample of

persons residing in Group Quarters

(GQs) the opportunity to be interviewed

for the ACS. GQs include places such as

student dorms, correctional facilities,

hospitals, nursing homes, shelters, and

military quarters. Obtaining

characteristic information from the GQs

will ensure that we include the

necessary people residing at GQs in the

1999 ACS.

A GQ screening operation is being

conducted in conjunction with 1998

ACS activities. This request revises the

existing GQ clearance for use in the

1999 ACS. Major changes are in the

estimated number of respondents and in

the estimated time per response. In 1998

we are screening a sample of the GQs in

eight counties. In 1999 we will screen

a sample of the GQs in 53 counties.

After completing one-third of the 1998

screening, we have learned that

screening averages about 20 minutes per

response instead of 10 minutes as

originally estimated. In 1999 we will

use the same questionnaire for screening

that we are using in 1998, Form ACS–

2(GQ), ACS GQ Screening.

We will telephone a sample of GQs in

the 53 counties where the 1999 ACS

will be conducted. We will verify/

update information such as GQ name,

address, type, and phone number. We

will screen to determine if the residents

stay for less than 30 days and have

another place to live. If so, the GQ will

be classified as out-of-scope for ACS

interviewing. If the GQ is in-scope, we

will screen to determine if we can

complete ACS interviews of the GQ

residents by mail, thus saving the

expense of personal visits. We will

obtain a list of rooms and/or residents

from which we can select a sample. All

ACS interviewing will be conducted

under OMB clearance number 0607–

0810.

II. Method of Collection

Telephone interviews will be

conducted from Census Bureau’s

National Processing Center in

Jeffersonville, Indiana.
