property rights and business success led
to the addition of a question on whether
the business owned a copyright,
trademark, granted patent, or pending
patent.
We received separate clearance from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to test our proposed 2012 SBO
questionnaire. We intend to conduct
interviews with 83 businesses in three
rounds. Cognitive interviews began in
November 2011 and will continue
through June 2012. Upon completion of
each round of interviews, the interview
team meets and decides on the
recommended changes to the form. The
form is revised after each round and the
interview protocol is updated to reflect
the new version of the form. The third
round of testing is continuing as we
submit this presubmission notice.
II. Method of Collection
The Census Bureau will primarily use
a mailout/mailback survey form to
collect the data. Electronic reporting
will be available for the return of both
the SBO–1 and SBO–2 forms. The
Spanish versions of these forms will
only be available in paper format upon
request. The questionnaires will be
mailed from our National Processing
Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Two
mail follow-ups to nonrespondents will
be conducted at approximately onemonth intervals.
