Terms of Clearance:
Census must forward all explanatory materials to OMB prior to fielding. Census should send OMB a summary of proposed changes based on the forthcoming CNSTAT report prior to offically requesting OMB approval for changes. OMB is reducing the re- quested burden hours by 5,000 with the understanding that Census, in consultation with NSF, may request various research projects to improve data quality and survey design. These requests will be submitted via a change worksheet that includes the increased burden hours and describes the research plan or study design. If available, Census should submit a general research plan each year that describes the series of upcoming studies. Census is also given approval to add a question to the upcoming survey that will obtain updated information on length of time respondent requires to complete the survey. Census shall provide this information to OMB prior to fielding the 2005 survey (in 2006).
