Request for Nonsubstantive Change to the
Special Census Program
Adding an Outbound Phone Data Collection Mode for The Special Census Program
OMB Control No. 0607-0368
U.S. Department of Commerce
U.S. Census Bureau
Purpose
This change only seeks to add outbound telephone calling as a data collection mode for the Special Census Program; it will not change any of the questions asked nor increase the burden hours from what OMB has previously approved. This change will enable staff, including field representatives and clerical staff in the Regional Office, to contact respondents by phone and conduct the enumeration over the phone. Currently, respondents can call the Special Census Office to provide their information, this change allows for outbound calling when self-response and field data collection response rates are low, and the data collection period is nearing the end.
