Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: 2008 Census Coverage Measurement, Initial Housing Unit Followup Operation. Form Number(s): DX–1303. Agency Approval Number: None. Type of Request: New collection. Burden Hours: 880. Number of Respondents: 16,000. Average Hours Per Response: 3 minutes. Needs and Uses: In preparation for the 2010 Census, the U.S. Census Bureau requests authorization to conduct the Census Coverage Measurement (CCM) Initial Housing Unit Followup Interview as part of the 2008 Census Dress Rehearsal. The CCM PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 37701 program for the dress rehearsal is a dry run to ensure that all planned coverage measurement operations are working as expected, integrated internally, and coordinated with the appropriate census operations. The 2008 Census Dress Rehearsal will be conducted in two sites, one urban, and the other, a mix of urban and suburban. San Joaquin County, California is the urban site. South Central North Carolina has been selected as the urban/suburban mix test site. This area consists of Fayetteville and nine surrounding counties (Chatham, Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, Richmond, and Scotland). The 2008 CCM Dress Rehearsal will be comprised of two samples selected to measure census coverage of housing units and the household population: The population sample (P sample) and the enumeration sample (E sample). The P sample is a sample of housing units and persons obtained independently from the census for a sample of block clusters. The E sample is a sample of census housing units and enumerations in the same block cluster as the P sample. The independent roster of housing units is obtained during the CCM Independent Listing, the results of which will be matched to census housing units in the sample block clusters and surrounding blocks. Discrepancies between the CCM Independent Listing and census housing unit matching are followed up in Initial Housing Unit Followup. A separate OMB package was submitted for the CCM Independent Listing field operation, and additional OMB packages will be submitted for subsequent CCM field operations. The CCM operations planned for the dress rehearsal, to the extent possible, will mirror those that will be conducted for the 2010 Census to provide estimates of net coverage error and components of coverage error (omissions and erroneous enumerations) for housing units and persons in housing units. The data collection and matching methodologies for previous coverage measurement programs were designed only to measure net coverage error, which reflects the difference between omissions and erroneous inclusions. During CCM Initial Housing Unit Followup, interviewers collect additional information for addresses unresolved after the matching operations. The CCM Initial Housing Unit Followup operation attempts to collect additional information that might allow a resolution of match codes for any differences between the independent listing results and the E:\FR\FM\11JYN1.SGM 11JYN1
