OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR

June 15, 2015

Dear Resident:
We are contacting you regarding a brief, one-time survey called the 2015 Census Test.
The goal of this survey is to develop new methods to make the next census easier, more
convenient, and less costly for taxpayers. Sometime in the next few weeks, a Census
Bureau representative may contact you to ask a few simple questions about your
household.
Your cooperation in this research is required by law. Results from the next census will
determine congressional representation as required by the U.S. Constitution. Accurate
data are crucial in deciding how federal and state funds are distributed each year,
including funding for highways, schools, health facilities and many other programs you
and your neighbors use and need.
If you would like more information, please visit www.census.gov/survey_participants or call
our toll-free number at 1–866–226–2836.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

John H. Thompson
Director

OMB No. xxxx-xxxx: Approval Expires xx/xx/xxxx
