Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: American Community Survey
Methods Panel Tests, 2020 Specialized
Mail Materials Test.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0936.
Form Number(s): ACS–1(X) (2020),
ACS internet.
Type of Request: Non-Substantive
Change Request.
Number of Respondents: 2,016,000.
Average Hours per Response: 40
minutes for the average household
questionnaire.
Burden Hours: No additional burden
hours are requested under this nonsubstantive change request.
Needs and Uses: The American
Community Survey (ACS) collects
detailed socioeconomic data from about
3.5 million housing units in the United
States and 36,000 in Puerto Rico each
year. The ACS also collects detailed
socioeconomic data from about 195,000
residents living in Group Quarter (GQ)
facilities. An ongoing data collection
effort with an annual sample of this
magnitude requires that the ACS
continue research, testing, and
evaluations aimed at reducing
respondent burden, improving data
quality, achieving survey cost

efficiencies, and improving ACS
questionnaire content and related data
collection materials. The ACS Methods
Panel is a research program designed to
address and respond to issues and
survey needs.
Households in sample for the ACS in
2020 are legally required to respond to
both the ACS and the decennial census.
Receiving two sets of mailings in one
calendar year can be confusing to
respondents, which can increase the
perception that the ACS is burdensome
and intrusive and decrease the rate of
self-response. During the 2010 Census,
ACS response rates were higher than
usual in the first few months of the year
but were lower than usual in the spring
and summer months (Chesnut and Davis
2011, Baumgardner 2013). The
increased response rates early in the
year were attributed to the decennial
census communications campaign while
the decrease later in the year was
attributed to respondent confusion or
burden, as respondents had already
filled out the decennial census form.
To mitigate these issues, a set of
modified mail materials were developed
with language that directly addresses
the difference between the ACS and the
2020 Census, in order to differentiate
the two. These materials will be used
during the main response period for the
2020 Census, March through September.
The language modifications in the 2020
ACS materials are based on an
evaluation conducted by the Census
Bureau in 2010 to examine the use of
modified language, color, and branding
to create a distinct identity for the ACS
(Chesnut and Davis 2011). Additionally,
cognitive interviews of the 2020 ACS
modified materials were conducted in
the fall of 2018.
In order to assess the effect of the
modified messaging in the ACS
materials the Census Bureau is
proposing to conduct the 2020
Specialized Mail Materials Test. From
March through September, the ACS will
use mail materials that help clarify that
these mailings are not for the 2020
Census. This will be the control
treatment for the experiment and will be
sent to approximately 264,000 sampled
addresses each month. The
experimental treatment will not contain
the modified language but otherwise
will be the same as the control
materials. These materials will be sent
to approximately 24,000 sampled
addresses each month from March
through September and will also be
used for ACS production for the
remainder of the year (January,
February, and October through
December).
