Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 54353-54354 [05-18188]

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.

ACTION: Notice of Determination.

Chapter 35). Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Title: U.S. Fishermen Fishing in Russian Waters. SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) is conducting the Annual Wholesale Trade Survey. The Census Bureau has determined that it needs to collect data covering annual sales; e-commerce sales; and year-end inventories, purchases, commissions, and operating expenses. These data are important inputs to the Bureau of Economic Analysis’s (BEA) preparation of National Income and Products VerDate Aug<18>2005 16:17 Sep 13, 2005 Jkt 205001 AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Accounts and its annual input-output tables. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John R. Trimble, Chief, Annual Wholesale and Special Projects Branch, Service Sector Statistics Division, on (301) 763– 7223 or by e-mail at John.R.Trimble@census.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Annual Wholesale Trade Survey is a continuation of similar wholesale trade surveys conducted each year since 1978 for distributors, and since 2003, for manufacturers’ sales branches and offices (MSBOs). This survey provides, on a comparable classification basis, annual sales, e-commerce sales, purchases, commissions and operating expenses, and year-end inventories for 2004. These data are not available publicly on a timely basis from nongovernmental or other governmental sources. The Census Bureau will require a selected sample of firms operating wholesale establishments in the United States (with sales size determining the probability of selection) to report in the 2005 Annual Wholesale Trade Survey. We will furnish report forms to the firms covered by this survey and will require their submission within 30 days after receipt. The sample will provide, with measurable reliability, statistics on the subjects specified above. The Census Bureau is authorized to take surveys that are necessary to furnish current data on the subject covered by the censuses authorized by Title 13, United States Code, Sections 182, 224, and 225. This survey will provide continuing and timely national statistics data on wholesale trade for the period between economic censuses. For 2005, the survey will, as it has in the past for distributors and MSBOs, operate as a separate sample of wholesale companies. The data collected in this survey will be similar to that collected in the past and within the general scope and nature of those inquiries covered in the economic census. The data collected in this survey will provide a sound statistical basis for the formation of policy by various government agencies. These data also apply to a variety of public and business needs. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) unless that collection of information displays a current valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
