SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 I. Abstract The Census Bureau plans to request clearance to conduct the Census Participation Survey to measure public knowledge, awareness, and perceptions about the 2010 Census. This research is designed to complement previous research conducted for Census 2000 as well as the Census Planning Database (a geographic summary file with Census 2000 response information) to inform the strategic direction of the 2010 Census Integrated Communications Plan (ICP). Every ten years, the Census Bureau is congressionally mandated to count everyone (citizens and non-citizens) residing in the United States. An accurate count is critical for many reasons including but not limited to: • Congressional reapportionment, • Redistricting congressional boundaries; • Community planning; and • Distribution of public funds and program development. The role of the ICP is to increase public awareness and motivate people to respond to the census promptly, saving millions of taxpayer dollars. The specific objectives of the ICP are: • Increase mail response; • Improve cooperation with enumerators; and • Improve overall accuracy and reduce differential undercount For the first time in Census 2000, the Census Bureau ran a paid advertising campaign to support Census data collection activities. This campaign was considered a very successful initiative and one of several reasons cited with helping to reverse declining mail response rates. In developing the 2000 campaign, the Census Bureau relied on one’s likelihood to engage in civic activities as a proxy to one’s likelihood to respond to the census. The campaign was built on the slogan, ‘‘This is your Future. Don’t leave it blank.’’ The intent of this slogan and related variations was to incite a sense of personal benefit, community benefit, and infer a sense of urgency. The target mail response rate for the 2010 Census has been set at 69 percent, higher than the 67 percent obtained in Census 2000. To support this goal, the ICP includes a communications campaign based on behavior during the 2000 Census and current knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, barriers, and motivations specific to 2010 Census participation. This model will provide contemporary insight into public motivations specific to the census. There are many commonalities to Census 2000 such as low Census favorability; lack of E:\FR\FM\14DEN1.SGM 14DEN1
