Question SINT2c
should be revised to include a response category "Privacy and
security concerns." Question QSINT6 should be revised to include a
response category "Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)." Census should
provide to OMB a draft questionnaire of any future CPS Supplement
on Computer Use early in the development process prior to final
programming and testing of the instrument. This will facilitate
coordination, review, and possible changes to the instrument in
order for Census to have sufficient time to implement such
changes.
