CONSENT FORM

The U.S. Census Bureau routinely conducts research on how we, and our partners, collect information in order to produce the best statistics possible.

You have volunteered to take part in a study of data collection procedures. In order to have a complete record of your comments, your interview will be recorded. We plan to use your feedback to improve the design and layout of survey forms for future data collections. Only staff involved in this product design research will have access to the recording.

This survey is conducted by the Census Bureau under the authority of Title 13 U.S.Code (U.S.C.), Section 8(b), on behalf of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, whose collection authority is 12 U.S.C. Sections 1819(a), 1820(a) and 1831(z). Routine uses of these data are limited to those identified in the Privacy Act System of Record Notice titled “COMMERCE/CENSUS-4, Economic Survey Collection.” The U.S. Census Bureau will protect the data and information collected from disclosure, in accordance with applicable law. Additionally, per the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from cybersecurity risks through screening of the systems that transmit your data.

We estimate that completing this interview will take 60 minutes on average, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. You may send comments regarding this estimate or any other aspect of this survey, including suggestions for reducing the time it takes to complete this survey to [email protected].

This collection has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This eight-digit OMB approval number, 0607-0725, confirms this approval and expires on 12/31/2022. Without this approval, we could not conduct this study.

I have volunteered to participate in this U.S. Census Bureau study, and I give permission for my audio recordings to be used for the purposes stated above.
