The supporting statement for this generic clearance describes eight data collections that will be the basis for several research projects belonging to the 2010 Census Program for Evaluations and Experiments. The Census Bureau will use the research results to guide the design of the next decennial census and, as appropriate, other Census Bureau programs.
