A.8. Abstract:

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the US Census Bureau are jointly sponsoring the 2011 FedCASIC Workshop March 22-24, 2011 at BLS. The workshop provides government survey professionals with an opportunity to share ideas and experiences related to the use of computers in data collection and processing. Attendance is open to representatives of Federal agencies and Federal contractors who provide software support to Federal CASIC surveys.


Organizers of the conference would like to seek feedback from everyone who either pre-registered or attended the conference without pre-registering, in order to improve the conference for next year. We would like to find out what people thought of the sessions and get suggestions for topics for next year. We will also gather demographic information about the attendees so we can better understand the groups of people who attend.


Our sample will be everyone who registered for or attended the conference. The survey will use a skip pattern so that those who were not able to attend will not be asked for feedback on this year’s sessions, but will be asked for their ideas for next year.


We will allow three weeks for the data collection (from survey invitation to the closing of the survey). We will send potential respondents the survey invitation via email. We will follow-up on email addresses that bounce and send the survey invitation to corrected email addresses. We will also send two follow-up emails to non-respondents or respondents with incomplete surveys, one during the second week, and one during the third week.


All of our responses will be collected via web (using Survey Monkey). We will include the required warning about storing data on a third-party server. We expect that it would take the respondents an average of five minutes to complete the survey. The following statement is on the survey:


“Your participation in this survey is voluntary. We estimate that it will take you 5 minutes to complete this survey. We are collecting this information under OMB Number 1225-0059. Without this currently-approved number, we could not conduct this survey. (Expiration: November 30, 2012).”


We are only using the results of this survey for planning purposes. We will share the results with those planning the conference from the Census Bureau.


We are not employing statistical methods because they are not relevant to the goals of the survey.

  • The initial invitation email

  • The first and second follow-up emails
