Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There were changes due to previous miscalculations in the burden estimate. This burden estimate accurately accounts for Puerto Rico sample sizes and responses. The full implementation of the ACS and PRCS GQ data collection began in 2006. Sample sizes approximated 200,000 persons through 2016 and around 170,000 persons starting in 2017. Refinements were made to the methodology for computing initial sample beginning with the 2017 sample. One of these refinements was to omit people in out-of-scope GQs from the initial sample size. The effect of these refinements is a smaller sample size.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $233,500,000
