OMB is working with the Census Bureau to develop an approach to provide limited use of the ACS frame for new follow-on surveys. Until this approach is finalized and Census is notified by OMB, the ACS may not be used to draw the sample for any new reimbursable work that other Federal agency's may request. It may, however, be used to enhance the current sample design and achieve sampling efficiencies for existing Census Bureau surveys (including those done under reimbursable agreement). It may also be used for those few surveys that either had previously been approved using the ACS (or previously referred to as the Census Supplementary Survey) frame such as the NIAAA's National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions or for surveys that previously drew sample directly from the decennial long form such as NSF's National Survey of College Graduates. Census is strongly encouraged to pursue consideration of developing GQ-specific forms and/or screeners that would result in a shorter, more relevant data collection for GQ individuals. Census is also strongly encouraged to continue exploring options to provide additional language assistance including the development of a special language brochure or informational materials that would provide greater assistance to non-English speaking respondents.
