What is this survey all about?
The [Fill: SURVEY_NAME] collects information on topics such as housing, education, income and
jobs. This information was typically collected during the census every ten years. However, the [Fill:
SURVEY_NAME] is an ongoing, monthly survey which can provide more accurate and up-to-date
information continuously, not just every ten years.
This means that people who use the data - - businesses for example, or local, state or Federal
governments will have more timely information with which to make informed decisions.
You can also visit our WEB site to learn more about the [Fill: SURVEY_NAME]. The address is:

How will this information be used?
The data from all interviews is summarized so that no one person can be identified. The summary
statistics are available on the ACS Web Site. [Fill 1: Federal, state, and local/ Federal, Puerto Rico, and
municipio] governments use the data as an information base for planning, administering and evaluating
government programs.
Businesses use the data to make informed decisions. For example, a business may look at the
education level of the residents of a community to see if that community would have the appropriate
workforce for that business.
The housing quality of an area can be assessed from the housing data collected in the [Fill 2:
ACS/PRCS]. Using the income data, the poverty level of an area can be determined.

How was I selected?
Your address was randomly selected from a list of residential addresses in your
[Fill: county/ municipio].
Why don't you select someone else?
Your address was randomly selected from a list of addresses, so we can't substitute anyone else's
address for yours. One of the advantages of a random sample is that we can use it to measure the
whole population without having to actually interview every household. But in order for it to work,
you can't pick and choose -- the sample has to be truly random. Your participation is very important if
we're going to be able to produce accurate statistics from this survey.

IS THIS SURVEY AUTHORIZED BY LAW?
This survey is authorized by Title 13, Section 141, 193, and 221, of the United States Code. The U.S.
Census Bureau is required by law to keep your information confidential. The Census Bureau is not
permitted to publicly release your responses in a way that could identify this household. Per the
Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from cybersecurity risks
through screening of the systems that transmit your data.
IS THIS SURVEY LEGITIMATE?
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) oversees all Federal Government surveys. This office
gives clearance to conduct a survey by providing an approval number. The approval number must be
printed on every questionnaire. In addition, if requested, we must provide the approval number when
we call regardless if we reach a business or private address.
If someone calls claiming to be a Census Bureau employee and you are concerned whether
or not the survey is legitimate, ask the caller for the OMB approval number. If the caller
can’t provide the number, that very well could mean the purpose of the call is not legitimate.
The OMB approval number for the [Fill 1: ACS/PRCS] is: 0607-0810.
If the respondent has a copy of the [Fill 2: ACS-1/ACS-1 PR(SP)] questionnaire, read the statement
below.
For the [Fill 3: American/Puerto Rico] Community Survey, you can find the approval number on page
1 of the questionnaire in the bottom right corner.

Why can’t you get the information from other sources?
When it is possible to obtain data from other sources, the Census Bureau does use Administrative
Records. However, we have done extensive review of the Administrative Records available and have
found that they do not match our data needs. This is a function of the lack of availability of high
quality, National-level Administrative Records, as well as differences in the data definitions and
formats used by Administrative Records= sources and this survey.

I think this is a waste of taxes!!
There are many reasons why it's definitely NOT a waste of tax dollars. Government agencies,
businesses, and the general public rely on up-to-date statistics, like the information we are collecting in
the [Fill: SURVEY_NAME], to make informed decisions.
The [Fill: SURVEY_NAME] will provide more timely information for decision makers to plan
programs for everyone in your community.
For example -It will offer more accurate, timely and detailed demographic, housing and economic information
whenever a community needs facts about a town or local area.
It will also help businesses evaluate a community’s potential for the business to locate or expand in the
community.

Actually, the Census Bureau collects lots of information on a wide range of topics -- such as
housing quality, unemployment, crime, health, and education. The census which is
conducted every ten years is what most people know about, but we do hundreds of
thousands of other kinds of interviews every year with governments, businesses, and people.

HOW DO I BENEFIT BY COMPLETING THE ACS?
Communities, states, and federal agencies say they do not have the up-to-date information they need to
better understand community issues, respond to needs, and allocate programs and resources. A
community leader said, "Guessing is always fun, but seldom effective." The [Fill 1: American/Puerto
Rico] Community Survey will provide communities with up-to-date housing and population data every
year.
By responding to the [Fill 1: American/Puerto Rico] Community Survey, you are helping your
community establish community goals, identify community problems and solutions, locate facilities
and programs, and measure the performance of programs.
The [Fill 1: American/Puerto Rico] Community Survey data are used by:
Local governments:
- - for budgeting, evaluating programs, and planning for community development projects.
Community Programs:
- - such as for the elderly, scout programs, libraries, churches, banks, hospitals, and other
community organizations, to provide services to the community and to locate buildings,
services, and programs.
Transportation planners (using summarized journey-to-work information):
- - to plan for peak volumes of traffic to reduce traffic congestion, plan for parking, and to
develop strategies such as car pooling programs and flexible work schedules.
- - to decide where to build new roads or add capacity to existing roads.
- - to develop transit systems such as light rail or subways by projecting rider ship.
- - by businesses, for determining the location of new buildings and services, such as banks
selecting sites for ATM machines.
Utility companies
- - to understand their customer bases so they can project future needs. Every time you
turn on your water faucet or a light switch in your home, summarized census data are
behind the services you receive.
