Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment 
Request; Current Population Survey (CPS) 2025 Field Test

    The Department of Commerce will submit the following information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the 
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed and 
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of 
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the 
Federal Register on September 30, 2024, during a 60-day comment period. 
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
    Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Commerce.
    Title: Current Population Survey, 2025 Field Test.
    OMB Control Number: 0607-XXXX.

    Needs and Uses: The 2025 Field Test's goal is to test the use of an 
internet self-response method to measure its success as a possible 
method of contact and interviewing with the goal of review accuracy, 
reporting, and representativeness. In addition, should it prove as a 
viable response method, the goal is to experiment with timing and 
contacts in order to refine procedures that best fit the needs of CPS. 
This is the first of two major field tests with the second in 2026, and 
an ultimate goal to phase in changes to the survey in 2027.
