SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau presently operates
a generic clearance covering activities
involving respondent burden associated
with updating our Master Address File
(MAF) and Topologically Integrated
Geographic Encoding and Referencing
(TIGER) Database (MTdb). The MTdb is
the Census Bureau’s integrated address
geographic database. We now propose to
extend the generic clearance to cover
update activities we will undertake
during the next three fiscal years.
Under the terms of the generic
clearance, we plan to submit a request
for OMB approval that will describe, in
general terms, all planned activities for
the entire period. We will provide
information to OMB at least two weeks
before the planned start of each activity
giving more exact details, examples of
forms, and final estimates of respondent
burden. We also will file a year-end
summary with OMB after the close of
each fiscal year giving results of each
activity conducted. The generic
clearance enables OMB to review our
overall strategy for MTdb updating in
advance, instead of reviewing each
activity in isolation shortly before the
planned start.
The Census Bureau used the
addresses in the MTdb for mailing and
delivering questionnaires to households
during the 2010 Census and will do so
for the 2020 Census. These addresses
are also used as a sampling frame for
our demographic current surveys. Prior
to Census 2000, the Census Bureau built
a new address list for each decennial
census. The MTdb built for the 2010
Census is designed to be kept up-todate, thereby eliminating the need to
develop a completely new address list
for future censuses and surveys. The
Census Bureau plans to use the MTdb

for post-Census 2010 evaluations and as
a sampling frame for the American
Community Survey and our other
demographic current surveys. The
TIGER component of the MTdb is a
geographic system that maps the entire
country in Census Blocks with
applicable address ranges or living
quarter location information. The MTdb
allows us to assign each address to the
appropriate Census Block, produce
maps as needed and publish results at
the appropriate level of geographic
detail. The following are descriptions of
activities we plan to conduct under the
clearance for the next three fiscal years.
The Census Bureau has conducted these
activities (or similar ones) previously
and the respondent burden remains
relatively unchanged from one time to
another.
Demographic Area Address Listing
(DAAL)
The Demographic Area Address
Listing (DAAL) program encompasses
the geographic area updates for the
Community Address Updating System
(CAUS), the area and group quarters
frame listings for many ongoing
demographic surveys (the Current
Population Survey, the Consumer
Expenditures Survey, etc.), and any
other operations which choose to use
the Automated Listing and Mapping
System (ALMI) for evaluations,
assessments, or to collect updates for
the MTdb. The CAUS program was
designed to address quality concerns
relating to areas with high
concentrations of noncity-style
addresses, and to provide a rural
counterpart to the update of city-style
addresses the Census Bureau will
receive from the U.S. Postal Services’s
Delivery Sequence File. The ongoing
demographic surveys, as part of the
2000 Sample Redesign Program, use the
MTdb as one of several sources of
addresses from which they select their
samples.
The DAAL program is a cooperative
effort among many divisions at the
Census Bureau; it includes automated
listing software, systems, and
procedures that will allow us to conduct
listing operations in a dependent
manner based on information contained
in the MTdb. The DAAL operations will
be conducted on an ongoing basis in
potentially any county across the
country. Field Representatives (FRs)
will canvass selected 2010 Census
tabulation blocks in an effort to improve
the address list in areas where
substantial address changes may have
occurred that have not been added to
the MTdb through regular update
operations, and/or in blocks in the area
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
or group quarters frame sample for the
demographic surveys. FRs will update
existing address information and, when
necessary, contact individuals to collect
accurate location and mailing address
information. In general, contact will
occur only when the FR is adding a unit
to the address list, and/or the
individual’s address is not posted or
visible to the FR. There is no predetermined or scripted list of questions
asked as part of this listing operation. If
an address is not posted or visible to the
FR, the FR will ask about the address of
the structure, the mailing address, and,
in some instances, the year the structure
was built. If the occupants of these
households are not at home, the FR may
attempt to contact a neighbor to
determine the best time to find the
occupants at home and/or to obtain the
correct address information.
DAAL is an ongoing operation. Listing
assignments are distributed quarterly
with the work conducted throughout the
time period. We expect the DAAL
listing operation will be conducted
throughout the entire time period of the
extension.
2020 Census Research and Testing
Program
The 2020 Census Research and
Testing program will conduct tests from
FY13 through FY15 to research
methodologies to improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of the 2020 Census.
Among the research is Test 22, a test
that will mainly involve the newly
developed MAF error model. The goal
of the MAF error project is to determine
the components of MAF error and to
develop an error model for use in
measuring MAF quality. The MAF error
project will use data from existing
programs as well as data from Test 22
to validate the recommended solution.
Test 22 is currently scheduled to be
conducted in fiscal year 2013.
The MAF error project is a
cooperative effort among many
divisions at the Census Bureau; it
includes automated software, systems,
and procedures that will allow us to
measure the quality of the MAF. Test 22
is currently a one-time project
scheduled for fiscal year 2013.
Enumerators (Listers) will canvass
blocks to provide complete list of
residential addresses. Listers will
update existing address information
and, when necessary, contact
individuals to collect accurate location
and mailing address information. In
general, contact will occur only when
the Lister is adding a unit to the address
list, and/or the individual’s address is
not posted or visible to the Lister.
Subsequent analysis will determine the

coverage of the address files, which will
allow for the creation of coverage
measures.
The listed activities are not
exhaustive of all activities that may be
performed under this generic clearance.
We will follow the approved procedure
when submitting any additional
activities not specifically listed here.
II. Method of Collection
The primary method of data
collection for most operations/
evaluations will be personal observation
or personal interview by Census Listers,
Verifiers, Enumerators or Field
Representatives using the operation/
evaluation’s listing form or
questionnaire. In some cases, the
interview could be by telephone
callback if no one was home during the
initial visit.

Foreign-Trade Zone 185—Culpeper
County, VA Application for
Reorganization Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the County of Culpeper,
grantee of FTZ 185, requesting authority
to reorganize the zone under the
alternative site framework (ASF)
adopted by the Board (15 CFR 400.2(c)).
The ASF is an option for grantees for the
establishment or reorganization of
general-purpose zones and can permit
significantly greater flexibility in the
designation of new ‘‘subzones’’ or
‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/
users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service
area’’ in the context of the Board’s
standard 2,000-acre activation limit for
a general-purpose zone project. The
application was submitted pursuant to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the
regulations of the Board (15 CFR part
400). It was formally docketed on
November 1, 2012.
FTZ 185 was approved by the Board
on May 22, 1992 (Board Order 578, 57
FR 23385, 6/3/92), and expanded on
December 22, 1997 (Board Order 945, 63
FR 205, 1/5/98), and on March 7, 2008
(Board Order 1550, 73 FR 14434, 3/18/
08). On April 20, 2010, the grant of
authority was reissued to the County of
Culpeper (Board Order 1677, 75 FR
24571, 5/5/10).
The current zone project includes the
following sites: Site 1 (78 acres)—
Culpeper Business and Office Park,
Route 29 and Route 666, Culpeper
County; Site 2 (104 acres)—Culpeper
County Industrial Airpark, Route 29
North, Elkwood; and, Site 3 (65 acres)—
REO Distribution Services, 1 Solutions
Way, Waynesboro.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be the Counties of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:43 Nov 06, 2012
Jkt 229001
Albemarle, Augusta, Bath, Caroline,
Culpeper, Fluvanna, Greene, Highland,
King George, Louisa, Madison, Nelson,
Orange, Page, Rappahannock,
Rockbridge, Rockingham, Shenandoah,
Spotsylvania, Stafford and Warren, as
described in the application. If
approved, the grantee would be able to
serve sites throughout the service area
based on companies’ needs for FTZ
designation. The proposed service area
is within and adjacent to the Front
Royal Customs and Border Protection
port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone project to
include all of the existing sites as
‘‘magnet’’ sites. The ASF allows for the
possible exemption of one magnet site
from the ‘‘sunset’’ time limits that
generally apply to sites under the ASF,
and the applicant proposes that Site 2
be so exempted. No subzones/usagedriven sites are being requested at this
time. The application would have no
impact on FTZ 185’s previously
authorized subzones.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Kathleen Boyce of the FTZ
Staff is designated examiner to evaluate
and analyze the facts and information
presented in the application and case
record and to report findings and
recommendations to the Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
address below. The closing period for
their receipt is January 7, 2013. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to January 22, 2013.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room
21013, U.S. Department of Commerce,
1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau presently operates a generic clearance covering
activities involving respondent burden associated with updating our
Master Address File (MAF) and Topologically Integrated Geographic
Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) Database (MTdb). The MTdb is the
Census Bureau's integrated address geographic database. We now propose
to extend the generic clearance to cover update activities we will
undertake during the next three fiscal years.
Under the terms of the generic clearance, we plan to submit a
request for OMB approval that will describe, in general terms, all
planned activities for the entire period. We will provide information
to OMB at least two weeks before the planned start of each activity
giving more exact details, examples of forms, and final estimates of
respondent burden. We also will file a year-end summary with OMB after
the close of each fiscal year giving results of each activity
conducted. The generic clearance enables OMB to review our overall
strategy for MTdb updating in advance, instead of reviewing each
activity in isolation shortly before the planned start.
The Census Bureau used the addresses in the MTdb for mailing and
delivering questionnaires to households during the 2010 Census and will
do so for the 2020 Census. These addresses are also used as a sampling
frame for our demographic current surveys. Prior to Census 2000, the
Census Bureau built a new address list for each decennial census. The
MTdb built for the 2010 Census is designed to be kept up-to-date,
thereby eliminating the need to develop a completely new address list
for future censuses and surveys. The Census Bureau plans to use the
MTdb
[[Page 66795]]
for post-Census 2010 evaluations and as a sampling frame for the
American Community Survey and our other demographic current surveys.
The TIGER component of the MTdb is a geographic system that maps the
entire country in Census Blocks with applicable address ranges or
living quarter location information. The MTdb allows us to assign each
address to the appropriate Census Block, produce maps as needed and
publish results at the appropriate level of geographic detail. The
following are descriptions of activities we plan to conduct under the
clearance for the next three fiscal years. The Census Bureau has
conducted these activities (or similar ones) previously and the
respondent burden remains relatively unchanged from one time to
another.
Demographic Area Address Listing (DAAL)
The Demographic Area Address Listing (DAAL) program encompasses the
geographic area updates for the Community Address Updating System
(CAUS), the area and group quarters frame listings for many ongoing
demographic surveys (the Current Population Survey, the Consumer
Expenditures Survey, etc.), and any other operations which choose to
use the Automated Listing and Mapping System (ALMI) for evaluations,
assessments, or to collect updates for the MTdb. The CAUS program was
designed to address quality concerns relating to areas with high
concentrations of noncity-style addresses, and to provide a rural
counterpart to the update of city-style addresses the Census Bureau
will receive from the U.S. Postal Services's Delivery Sequence File.
The ongoing demographic surveys, as part of the 2000 Sample Redesign
Program, use the MTdb as one of several sources of addresses from which
they select their samples.
The DAAL program is a cooperative effort among many divisions at
the Census Bureau; it includes automated listing software, systems, and
procedures that will allow us to conduct listing operations in a
dependent manner based on information contained in the MTdb. The DAAL
operations will be conducted on an ongoing basis in potentially any
county across the country. Field Representatives (FRs) will canvass
selected 2010 Census tabulation blocks in an effort to improve the
address list in areas where substantial address changes may have
occurred that have not been added to the MTdb through regular update
operations, and/or in blocks in the area or group quarters frame sample
for the demographic surveys. FRs will update existing address
information and, when necessary, contact individuals to collect
accurate location and mailing address information. In general, contact
will occur only when the FR is adding a unit to the address list, and/
or the individual's address is not posted or visible to the FR. There
is no pre-determined or scripted list of questions asked as part of
this listing operation. If an address is not posted or visible to the
FR, the FR will ask about the address of the structure, the mailing
address, and, in some instances, the year the structure was built. If
the occupants of these households are not at home, the FR may attempt
to contact a neighbor to determine the best time to find the occupants
at home and/or to obtain the correct address information.
DAAL is an ongoing operation. Listing assignments are distributed
quarterly with the work conducted throughout the time period. We expect
the DAAL listing operation will be conducted throughout the entire time
period of the extension.
2020 Census Research and Testing Program
The 2020 Census Research and Testing program will conduct tests
from FY13 through FY15 to research methodologies to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of the 2020 Census. Among the research is
Test 22, a test that will mainly involve the newly developed MAF error
model. The goal of the MAF error project is to determine the components
of MAF error and to develop an error model for use in measuring MAF
quality. The MAF error project will use data from existing programs as
well as data from Test 22 to validate the recommended solution. Test 22
is currently scheduled to be conducted in fiscal year 2013.
The MAF error project is a cooperative effort among many divisions
at the Census Bureau; it includes automated software, systems, and
procedures that will allow us to measure the quality of the MAF. Test
22 is currently a one-time project scheduled for fiscal year 2013.
Enumerators (Listers) will canvass blocks to provide complete list of
residential addresses. Listers will update existing address information
and, when necessary, contact individuals to collect accurate location
and mailing address information. In general, contact will occur only
when the Lister is adding a unit to the address list, and/or the
individual's address is not posted or visible to the Lister. Subsequent
analysis will determine the coverage of the address files, which will
allow for the creation of coverage measures.
The listed activities are not exhaustive of all activities that may
be performed under this generic clearance. We will follow the approved
procedure when submitting any additional activities not specifically
listed here.
II. Method of Collection
The primary method of data collection for most operations/
evaluations will be personal observation or personal interview by
Census Listers, Verifiers, Enumerators or Field Representatives using
the operation/evaluation's listing form or questionnaire. In some
cases, the interview could be by telephone callback if no one was home
during the initial visit.
