SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request
an extension of the current OMB
approval to conduct a variety of smallscale questionnaire pretesting activities
under this generic clearance. A block of
hours will be dedicated to these
activities for each of the next three
years. OMB will be informed in writing
of the purpose and scope of each of
these activities, as well as the time
frame and number of burden hours
used. The number of hours used will

This research program will be used by
the Census Bureau and survey sponsors
to improve questionnaires and

and ultimately increase the quality of
data collected in the Census Bureau
censuses and surveys. The clearance
will be used to conduct pretesting of
decennial, demographic, and economic
census and survey questionnaires prior
to fielding them. Pretesting activities
will involve one of the following
methods of identifying measurement
problems with the questionnaire or
survey procedure: Cognitive interviews,
focus groups, respondent debriefing,
behavior coding of respondent/
