Short Statement: We mail the monthly questionnaires four times a year. For example, the February, March, and April questionnaires are all sent together in April. Respondents still complete the individual monthly questionnaires, since the forms themselves are not combined. Although the data continue to be collected and summarized monthly, mailing the survey quarterly lowers the overall workload for participants. No changes were made to the survey methodology or sampling design. This adjustment preserves consistent data collection while reducing the impact on respondents. The separate Monthly and Annual surveys have been discontinued.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $800,000
