Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 26, 2012 / Notices
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with
CY 2014. The new question would be
in addition to and not a replacement of
the current ACS health insurance
question. In response to this request, the
Census Bureau conducted qualitative
testing in 2012 of an additional question
related to subsidized premiums for
health insurance. Based on the results of
that testing, the Census Bureau is
considering adding this topic to the ACS
questionnaire in 2014.
The Census Bureau is also
considering a modification to the ACS
question on race for implementation in
2014. Based on testing conducted in
parallel with the 2010 Census called the
Alternative Questionnaire Experiment,
the Census Bureau saw no negative
impact in modifying the categories to
the race question by removing the term
‘‘Negro’’ from the category ‘‘Black,
African American, or Negro.’’ Given this
finding, and previous negative feedback
provided to the Census Bureau on the
inclusion of this term in this category,
the Census Bureau is proposing
removing this term from this category in
the 2014 ACS.
In an effort to enhance the value of
data on vacant housing units, the
Census Bureau is considering the
expansion of the vacancy status
categories from which Field
Representatives (FRs) can choose as
they try to determine the status of
vacant housing units. Data users have
expressed a strong interest in knowing
the composition of the ‘‘Other Vacant’’
category, which can be as high as 30
percent of vacant housing units and
which may contain a substantial
number of housing units in the so-called
‘‘shadow inventory’’ of housing units
that may come on the market at some
point for rent or for sale.
II. Method of Collection
The Census Bureau will mail survey
instruction materials to households
selected for the ACS. The materials will
instruct the residents to complete the
ACS questionnaire online. For
households that do not complete the
online questionnaire, Census Bureau
staff will then mail out a questionnaire
package. For households that complete
neither an online form nor a paper form,
Census Bureau staff will attempt to
conduct interviews via Computer
Assisted Telephone Interviewing
(CATI). Census Bureau staff will also
conduct Computer-Assisted Personal
Interviewing (CAPI) for a sub sample of
households that do not respond. The
Census Bureau conducts a content reinterview from a small sample of
respondents.
For most types of GQs, Census Bureau
FRs will conduct personal interviews

with respondents to complete
questionnaires or, if necessary, leave
questionnaires and ask respondents to
complete. Census Bureau staff collects
information from GQ contacts via CAPI.
Census Bureau staff will conduct a GQ
contact re-interview from a sample of
GQs primarily through CATI and a very
small percentage 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.
