Federal Register Notice: Soliciting Input or Suggestions on 2030 Census Preliminary Research
Federal Register Notice: Soliciting Public Input on 2030 Census Preliminary Research
Overview
As part of Design Selection Phase for the 2030 Census, the Census Bureau engaged with the public for ideas. For the first time, the public had the opportunity to formally give input on planning and designing the next census through a Federal Register Notice (FRN) titled, "Soliciting Public Input on 2030 Census Preliminary Research."
We sought public feedback on specific topics with the goal of helping ensure everyone is counted, especially historically undercounted populations. These topics included: reaching and motivating everyone to respond to the census, technology, new data sources, how we contact the public, and how we provide support to the public.
We received over 8,000 comments, which are contained within over 1,400 public submissions. The comment period was open from August 17, 2022 through November 15, 2022.

The 2030 Census Research Project Explorer can be used to learn about research that was created or expanded based on public input from this FRN. To find this research, use the link below and look for an orange marking on the top left corner of the projects.
Advisory Committee Feedback
Public comments from the FRN were provided to the Census Scientific Advisory Committee (CSAC) and the National Advisory Committee (NAC). The advisory committees were asked to review and prioritize the comments. Their prioritization recommendations were then delivered to the Census Bureau.
