Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 54353 [05-18187]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 14, 2005 / Notices A coverage measurement program evaluates the coverage of the Decennial Census enumeration. Coverage error includes: —Components of Coverage Error—The two components of census coverage error are census omissions (missed persons) and erroneous inclusions. The latter includes duplicates, and persons who should not have been enumerated at a particular address (per our residence rules). —Net Coverage Error—Reflects the difference between omissions and erroneous inclusions. A positive net error indicates an undercount, while a negative net error indicates an overcount. The purpose of the 2006 CCM test is not to evaluate the coverage of the 2006 Census Test per se, but rather to test ways of improving previous coverage measurement methods. The CCM operation will evaluate improvements to CCM data collection methods and new approaches tested in 2006 to provide better CCM data and more accurate measures of coverage error for the 2010 Census. The focus of the 2006 CCM Test is to test improved matching operations and data collection efforts designed to obtain more accurate information about where a person should have been enumerated according to our residence rules. An additional objective for the 2006 CCM Test is to determine if we can conduct coverage measurement interviews before all census data collection is complete, and do so without contaminating the census and adversely affecting coverage measurement. This contamination would have a small effect on the census, but a more serious effect on coverage measurement. There are several operational and data quality advantages of conducting coverage measurement interviews as close to census day as possible, but we do not want to do this if it will seriously affect measurement of coverage error. The 2006 CCM operations will use a sample of approximately 5,000 housing units in selected census tracts in Travis County, Texas; and 500 housing units on the Cheyenne River Reservation, offreservation Trust Lands in South Dakota. The first operation of the CCM will be the PI operation. After data collected from the PI operation is matched to data collected by the short form enumeration in the CCM sample areas, certain cases will be sent for another CCM interview called the Person Followup Interview. A separate request for clearance will be submitted for that operation. VerDate Aug<18>2005 16:17 Sep 13, 2005 Jkt 205001 We also will conduct a quality control operation—PI Reinterview (PIRI). For this operation a random sample of approximately 500 housing units in selected census tracts in Travis County, Texas; and 50 housing units on the Cheyenne River Reservation, offreservation Trust Lands in South Dakota will be selected. The purpose of the operation is to confirm that the PI enumerator conducted a PI with an actual household member or a valid proxy respondent. If the PIRI staff detects falsified information by the original enumerator, all cases worked by the original enumerator are reworked by reassigning the cases to a different PI enumerator.
