SUMMARY:Input Opportunity: Group Quarters Advanced Contact Operation
DESCRIPTION:On November 4\, the Census Bureau published a Federal Register Notice (FRN) outlining plans to test updated decennial census Group Quarters Advanced Contact Operation (GQAC) methods in the 2026 Census Test. In this FRN\, the Bureau proposes a plan to rely primarily on electronic (Web-Based) exchange of information to prepare for the Group Quarter (GQ) enumeration\, with In-Office and then In-Person contact as back-up methods. The Bureau will determine whether use of a secure Web-Based portal to send and receive information from GQs during the Advance Contact phase will improve data quality and operational efficiency\, both for the GQAC and GQ Enumeration operations.  \nThe 60-day comment period ended on December 23\, 2024.\nRead & Comment\n

SUMMARY:Input Opportunity: Renewed Clearance for American Community Survey/Puerto Rico Community Survey
DESCRIPTION:On November 5\, the Census Bureau published a Federal Register Notice (FRN) presenting a routine request for extension of the American Community Survey (ACS) and Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Agencies must ask for renewed clearance for ongoing surveys and other data collection activities every three years. This FRN offers an important opportunity to build a strong public record in support of maintaining and strengthening the ACS as the nation’s premier source of demographic\, housing\, social\, and economic data. Learn more about the importance of the ACS here! \nThe 60-day public comment period ended on January 6\, 2025.\nAdvocates and community-based organizations were welcome to use this comment template from The Leadership Conference to draft and submit their own comments.\nIt is important that the Census Bureau and the Office of Management and Budget hear from a diverse range of stakeholders\, so please customize these suggested points to highlight why the ACS is important to your individual or organizational work. The deadline to submit comments is 11:59 p.m. ET on January 6\, 2025\, and we recommend submitting via the Federal Register website as well as via email to acso.pra@census.gov.\nRead & Comment\n
