Confidentiality and Public Data Use
Responses will be treated as voluntary and will have confidentiality protection under applicable Census Bureau statutes. NCSES will publish a public release file that is designed to protect respondent confidentiality and make national estimates and congressionally mandated reports available online.
30-Day Comment Window; Item Requests
The notice opens a 30-day public comment period for the proposed 2025 NSCG information collection, and several commenters urged adding a sexual orientation question. NCSES said it will use the Census Bureau's American Community Survey sexual orientation research findings, when completed, to inform future NSCG data collection plans.
