The Census Bureau, part of the Department of Commerce, is gathering public comments on a new information collection effort related to the 2025 Field Test for the Current Population Survey (CPS). This test aims to try out an internet self-response method to improve how the survey is conducted. The test involves 50,000 households and each response should take about 10 minutes. The Census Bureau is interested in using feedback to refine their approach before potentially implementing changes in 2027. Public comments are welcome until 30 days after the notice's publication.
Simple Explanation
The Census Bureau wants to test a new way of collecting information using the internet to see if it's better for their surveys. They are asking for ideas from people to make it better for lots of families by 2027.
