SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The 2026 Census Test is the first of two major field tests planned to help the Census Bureau prepare for the 2030 Census. The 2026 Census Test is not an end-to-end test of all operations. Instead, it is a scaled-down version of the selected aspects of the census conducted in six field sites across the nation. The test also includes a nationally representative sample of households, who are able to respond to the test online, by phone, or by mail. The U.S. Census Bureau will test changes and enhancements planned for the 2030 Census in the real world and on a larger scale than research simulations allow. In 2028, a second test will serve as a dress rehearsal of census operations and handoffs between them. The goals of the 2026 Census Test are to test operational viability of new and revamped systems and methods researched and developed for the census, to identify, document, and address potential challenges; and to evaluate the efficacy of proposed changes to ensure the overall quality of the 2030 Census design. Some decisions, including names of operations and workload estimates, have yet to be made as the Census Bureau is finalizing the test plans; however, at this time, the Census Bureau can present aspects of the test that affect the public. Self-Response Self-Response collects respondent information via the internet, phone interviews, and paper questionnaires. A description of the self-response modes for housing units (HUs) follows in the next sections. An HU is a private residence for a person or small group of people (such as a family or group of roommates). Each housing unit must have a separate entrance that provides direct access to the outdoors or to a common space within a building (such as a hall, lobby, or stairwell) without having to pass through the living quarters of any other people. A living quarters is typically a structure that is intended for residential use. However, any structure or place where someone is living (or where someone is sleeping without having a usual home elsewhere) is also considered a living quarters, even if it is not intended for residential use. Internet Self-Response (ISR) Internet Self-Response (ISR) allows the public to respond online. ISR was E:\FR\FM\10JAN1.SGM 10JAN1
