This Notice and Request for Public Comments is an opportunity for members of the public to provide input as to what question additions, revisions, or deletions NTIA should consider in updating the survey instrument. Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before September 17, 2020. Written comments may be submitted by email to data@ntia.gov.
