In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act and 5 CFR 1320 the census questionnaire on Sources and Consequences of Undercount is approved on the condition that questions 1,2 and 3 are deleted. Census has not demonstrated the practical utility for items 1,2 and 3. Moreover, presenting respondents with erroneous statements about uses of census data risks diminishing their confidence and confidentiality of these data and thus their cooperation in the 1990 census.
