The School Enrollment Supplement is jointly sponsored by the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). A number of questions in this supplement may appear in the American Community Survey (ACS) and in other demographic surveys. However, this supplement’s comprehensive set of questions does not duplicate any other single information collection, and ensures the historical continuity of a data series that spans over 5 decades. This data series provides basic information on enrollment status of various segments of the population necessary as background for policy formulation and implementation. The CPS October supplement is the only annual source of data on public/private elementary and secondary school enrollment and characteristics of private school students and their families, which are used for tracking historical trends and for policy planning and support. The basic school enrollment questions have been collected annually in the CPS for 50 years. Consequently, this supplement is the only source of historical data—at the national level— on the age distribution and family characteristics of college students, and on the demographic characteristics of preprimary school enrollment. As part of the federal government’s efforts to collect data and provide timely information to local governments for policymaking decisions, this supplement provides national trends in enrollment and progress in school. Discontinuance of these data would mean not complying with the federal government’s obligation to provide data to decision makers on current educational issues and would disrupt a data series that has been in existence for 50 years.

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau is committed to conducting a 2020 Census that costs less while maintaining high quality results. Field data collection activities are a significant cost driver in the decennial census. Field data collection activities include creating and updating address lists, updating maps, enumerating households and persons, collecting data on vacant housing units, and conducting quality control operations. In previous censuses, these activities required the use of a large temporary field staff with limited training using manual or paper forms and systems. Advances in technology may create new opportunities to perform field data collection tasks in an automated environment. The Census Bureau plans to research and learn the use of new technologies to test their capabilities in performing data collection activities. As part of the learning process, the Census Bureau plans to conduct operations using new technologies. This research E:\FR\FM\30JYN1.SGM 30JYN1
