The extended form is not authorized by the government, though.

Uh - huh? It’s designed, distributed and collected by the US Census Bureau, just like the short form. See my earlier link to the 2000 version.

The only real difference is that it isn’t distributed all at once, like the short form. Due to unprecedented animosity during the last (2000) census, the Bureau decided it would generate less controversy if its profile was lowered by sending it out continuously, reaching the same number of respondents but not all at once.
