Attachment E - Low Burden advance letter

Dear Resident,

Your address has been randomly selected to participate in a survey for the federal government. This survey gives our country an up-to-date picture of how we live – including jobs, housing, and demographics.

Americans rely on information from this survey for the following:

• Improving roads and buildings

• Veteran’s programs

• Education, employment, and housing resources

• Helping the Federal Reserve to set the interest rates in our country

Because your household has been asked to participate in this survey on behalf of your community, it is vital that you complete this survey to help meet critical needs in your area.

The success of this survey depends on your participation. We cannot substitute another address for yours. Your address is part of a scientifically selected sample of addresses chosen throughout the country. Your answers represent hundreds of other U.S. households.

An official federal government representative will contact you soon to ask your household to complete this one time survey on the phone, which will take 10 minutes. If we cannot reach you, we will send you one more mail reminder to participate.

Thank you in advance for your participation in this important survey.
