assisted Telephone Interview (CATI)
and Computer-assisted Personal
Interview (CAPI) modes only. At the
request of the Department of Veteran
Affairs, the Census Bureau revised the
veteran status and period of service
questions to simplify the reporting
categories. The new version will be used
by all collection modes. The 2010
Content Test results for the five existing
topics were presented to OMB in
September 2011. Reports describing
these results will be made available
publicly in early 2012.

II. Method of Collection
The Census Bureau will mail survey
materials to households selected for the
ACS. For households that do not return
a questionnaire, Census Bureau staff
will attempt to conduct interviews via
CATI. We will also conduct CAPI for a
sub sample of nonrespondents. A
content reinterview will be conducted
from a small sample of respondents.
In 2011 the Census Bureau conducted
two tests to assess the feasibility of
providing an Internet response option to
households that receive survey
materials by mail. These tests evaluated
various methods for providing an
Internet response option. One option
tested offering respondents the choice to
respond by Internet or mail. Another
method tested provided only
instructions to respond online initially,
and sent a follow-up paper
questionnaire to households that did not
respond online or did not have Internet
access. Implementing an Internet
response option may lead to cost
savings for administering the ACS as
well as improvements in the quality of
the data provided. Depending on the
results of the 2011 tests, the Census
Bureau is considering implementing an
Internet response option for the ACS in
2013. Reports describing the results of
the April 2011 test will be made
available publicly in early 2012.
For most types of GQs, Census Bureau
field representatives (FRs) will conduct
personal interviews with respondents to
complete questionnaires or, if necessary,
leave questionnaires and ask
respondents to complete. Information
from GQ contacts will be collected via
CAPI. A GQ contact reinterview will be
conducted from a sample of GQs
primarily through CATI. A very small
percentage of the GQ reinterviews will
be conducted via CAPI.
The Census Bureau staff will provide
Telephone Questionnaire Assistance
(TQA) and if the respondent indicates a
desire to complete the survey by
telephone, the TQA interviewer
conducts the interview.
