The U.S. Census Bureau seeks public comment by August 24, 2025 on “an electronic Decennial Census Temporary, Intermittent Applicant Information Collection to gather information from job seekers needed to fill temporary, intermittent Decennial Census Program positions, starting with the 2026 Census Test. Questions used to qualify and select applicants for positions are in the job application information section of the collection.”
The Federal Register Notice say the data collection will gather “basic information needed for all temporary, intermittent decennial positions, streamlining the application process for both the applicant and the Census Bureau, by allowing applicants to be considered for several positions with one set of application data. To further evaluate each applicant’s fit for positions, as part of the Decennial Census Temporary, Intermittent Applicant Information Collection, applicants will answer position related assessment/test and self-response interview questions.”
