Am i required to fill out the 2006 American Community Survey I recieved in the mail ?

yes





Because it is part of the census, responding to the


American Community Survey is required by law. This


is analogous to the mandatory civic responsibility to


serve on a jury if called. The duty to


respond is set forth in Sections 141


and 193 of Title 13 of the United States


Code. This federal law also guarantees


confidentiality of the respondent’s


survey responses and imposes severe


penalties for a Census Bureau employee


who reveals individual data.
