Only questions pertaining to the needs of the legislation will be asked. The questionnaire content and data collection procedures will generally follow the American Community Survey (ACS) and Census 2010 procedures. Since data can be obtained for Hawaii from the ACS, it is not cost-effective to include Hawaii in the 2018 Survey of Compact of Free Association (COFA) Migrants. Because it would be cost prohibitive to design a survey resulting in reliable estimates of the small number of COFA migrants in American Samoa, the estimate for this area will be derived from existing Census 2010 data. Affected Public: Residents of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Frequency: One time. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.
