Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 47 / Monday, March 10, 2008 / Notices
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.
From 1970—the first year
questionnaires were mailed to
households—to 1990, the mail response
rate declined from 78 percent to 65
percent. To halt the declining mail
response rate, the Census Bureau ran a
paid advertising campaign to support
data collection activities for the 2000
Census. This campaign was considered
a very successful initiative and one of
several reasons cited with helping to
reverse declining mail response rates.
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.
The Census Bureau is requesting
clearance for DraftFCB’s subcontractor,
MACRO International, Inc. to conduct
the Census Participation Survey to gain
an in-depth understanding of the
public’s opinions about the 2010
Census. Collecting this information
allows the Census Bureau to explore
underlying factors contributing to
public views of the 2010 Census;
identify census related behavioral
drivers and barriers; determine
communication channels for reaching
historically hard-to-count populations;
and analyze messages they should
convey to motivate the public to
participate—potentially saving
hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars
used to collect the census data.
The primary purpose of the Census
Participation Survey is to inform tactical
and strategic decisions for the ICP. This
research is designed to complement
previous participation 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). The data collected will not be
used to produce official Census Bureau
estimates of the population.
When possible, respondents to the
Census Participation Survey will be
matched to the Census Planning
Database (PDB) by tract number to link
to Census 2000 census participation and
hard-to-count data. In cases where a link

Jkt 214001
to tract can be made, we will further roll
cases back up into an eight-cluster
segmentation scheme based on the PDB.
The Census Participation Survey will
make use of three different sampling
frames described below:
Address Frame: No address
information is collected from the
respondent. The selected addresses are
sampled from the USPS’s Delivery
Sequence File (DSF) and geo-coded to
link to census tract.
RDD Landline Frame: No address
information is collected from the
respondent. Telephone numbers will be
reverse matched to local telephone
directories to identify as many
addresses as possible. These addresses
will be geo-coded to link to census tract.
For those with no match (unlisted
telephone numbers), we use the
estimated census tract based on the
telephone exchange and geographic
associations.
RDD Cell Phone Frame: For cell
phone respondents, we cannot
determine geographic location since cell
phone area codes are not always
geographically associated. Instead, we
will rely on demographic data such as
age, marital status, mobility, tenure, and
whether the household is cell-phone
only to assign interviews into segment.
The combined data will be used to
measure census awareness, attitudes,
knowledge, and likelihood to respond to
the census. This data will be used to
further define the audience
segmentation clusters to inform the
communications strategy. Further, the
data will be used to evaluate census
messaging alternatives and analyze
media consumption by audience
segmentation.
The Census Participation Survey also
serves as a baseline measure of 2010
Census for monitoring change in
awareness and intent to participate
during the build-up and execution of
Census 2010.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One-time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: The legal authority
under which this information is being
collected is the general authority of the
Census Bureau to undertake the
decennial Census in 2010, Title 13
U.S.C. 141.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
On August 20, 2007, the Department
of Commerce (the Department)
published in the Federal Register the
notice of initiation of the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on canned pineapple fruit from
Thailand for Vita Food Factory (1989)
Ltd. (Vita). See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests
for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 48613
(August 20, 2007). The period of review
for Vita is July 1, 2006 through June 30,
2007.
PO 00000
the last day of the anniversary month of
the order or suspension agreement for
which the administrative review was
requested, and final results of the
review within 120 days after the date on
which the notice of the preliminary
results is published in the Federal
Register. However, if the Department
determines that it is not practicable to
complete the review within the
aforementioned specified time limits,
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and
section 351.213(h)(2) of the
Department’s regulations allow the
Department to extend the 245–day
period to 365 days and to extend the
120–day period to 180 days.
Due to the need for further analysis of
Vita’s questionnaire response,
particularly with respect to Vita’s
reported selling agents and
commissions, the Department finds that
it is not practicable to complete the
preliminary results of this review within
the original time limit. Therefore, the
Department is extending the deadline
for completion of the preliminary
results of this administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on canned
pineapple fruit from Thailand by 120
days from April 1, 2008 until no later
than July 30, 2008.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.
