Census ACS Office has done a reasonable job here. My take-away from the presentation I attended a few days ago is: The questionnaire reduction candidates (questions on the way out) are those with no federal use. If you have particular state government uses, metro planning uses, or academic uses for any particular questions, you might want to write a letter during this comment period.
