A prototype of the ACS Summary File (SF) will be released Feb. 14, 2007
on
the ACS Web site. This is a postponement of two weeks from the release
date announced in the Dec. 28, 2006, ACS Alert, Number 44.
Details on accessing the files and accompanying technical documentation
will be released via ACS Alert on Feb. 14.
The Census Bureau and American Community Survey Office hopes this
prototype

files
and provide the Census Bureau with useful comments. Feedback may be
sent
to: cmo.acs(a)census.gov.
*2006 ACS Content Test Reports Now Available
In 2006, the Census Bureau conducted the first test of new and modified
content since the ACS reached full implementation levels of data
collection. The 2006 ACS Content Test report series presents the
results
of that testing that will help determine the content for the 2008 ACS.
There are 21 reports in the series, which may be found on the Census
Bureauâs Web site at: <http://www.census.gov/acs/www/AdvMeth/index.htm
.

The ACS is a key component in the Census Bureauâs 2010 Decennial
Census
Program, which also consists of early planning and modernization of
geographic operations and a short-form only for the 2010 Census.
