observed between the administrative
records and the NRFU interview results
from self-responses and responses we
receive from neighbors or others who
are knowledge about the households
(referred to as proxy responses). We will
attempt to conduct an interview with a
sample of approximately 10,000 cases
from various groups (one example
comparison will be between cases that
self-responded and cases that
administrative records identified as
vacant) to provide additional data
points for which to analyze the
effectiveness of using administrative
records in NRFU.
The Census Bureau will conduct
NRFU with a combination of
enumerator-owned and governmentowned, commercially provided mobile
devices. The use of employee owned
equipment/services is commonly
referred to as ‘‘Bring Your Own Device’’
or BYOD. A sample of up to 5,000
households will be contacted at the end
of the field operation using this
methodology. The objectives of this
component of the test are to:
• Design and develop software
solutions, deployment, and support
processes that run on commercially
available employee owned mobile
devices (i.e., iPhone, Android);
• Deploy and support secure software
solutions that can be installed on
commercially available employee
owned mobile devices;
• Conduct interviews of respondents
using employee owned mobile devices;
and
• Capture lessons learned for future
operations.
It is important to note that the Census
data collection application, known as
COMPASS, collects, stores, and securely
transmits data for smart phones used by
Census enumerators. This application
requires a series of security measures to
be met in order for the enumerators to
collect, store, access, and transmit
sensitive information.
Focus groups will be conducted in the
geographic site of the test. Respondents
will be recruited into groups with regard
to their treatment and demographic
characteristics (e.g., age, education). For
example, respondents could be
recruited into one of the groups of 8–12
participants by age and education as
well as whether they were NRFU
respondents or non-respondents. Focus
groups would explore reactions to the
contact method, administrative record
use, any privacy or confidentiality
concerns and how the Census Bureau
might address these concerns through
micro- or macro- messaging.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The U.S. Census Bureau through its
network of Research Data Centers
(RDCs) supports and encourages
research activity using Census Bureau
microdata to improve Census Bureau
data and programs. The RDCs provide
access to researchers from universities,
federal and state agencies and other
research institutions meeting the
requirements of Title 13 United States
Code, 23(c) to non-publicly available

Census Bureau data files. The Center for
Economic Studies operates the RDC
network on behalf of the Census Bureau.
The objective of the Research Data
Centers (RDCs) is to increase the utility
and quality of Census Bureau data
products. The external research program
supported through the RDCs increases
the quality and utility of Census data in
several ways. First, access to microdata
encourages knowledgeable researchers
to become familiar with Census data
products and Census data collection and
processing methods. More importantly,
providing qualified researchers to
confidential microdata enables research
projects that are not possible without
access to respondent-level information.
This increases the value of data already
collected and promotes innovation on
new data products and methods.
Creative use of microdata can address
important policy questions without the
need for additional data collections.
In addition, the best means by which
the Census Bureau can check on the
quality of the data it collects, edits, and
tabulates is to make its microdata
records available in a controlled, secure
environment to sophisticated users who,
by employing the micro records in the
course of rigorous analysis, will uncover
the strengths and weaknesses of the
micro records. Each set of observations
results from many decision rules
covering definitions, classifications,
coding procedures, processing rules,
editing rules, disclosure rules, and so
on. The validity and consequences of all
these decision rules only become
evident when the Census Bureau’s
micro databases are tested in the course
of analysis. Exposing to the light of
research the conceptual and processing
assumptions that are embedded in the
Census Bureau’s micro databases
constitutes a core element in the Census
Bureau’s commitment to quality. The
CES and the RDCs conduct, facilitate,
and support microdata research.
Census Bureau RDC initially contact the
RDC Administrator, who is a Census
Bureau employee, at the center where
the research will occur. The researcher
discusses the proposed project with the
administrator to determine whether the
research fits with the Census Bureau’s
mission, is feasible, and is likely to
provide benefits to Census Bureau
programs under Title 13, Chapter 5 of
the U.S. Code.
Each researcher must register as a user
by means of an account in the system.
Only the RDC Administrator can request
the creation of a user account via a
request utility in the system. All
researchers must have an enabled and
unlocked user account in order to
submit preliminary and final proposals
through the Web application.
Working closely with the RDC
Administrator, researchers develop a
preliminary research proposal that
includes information about the
researcher(s), RDC location(s) where the
research will be conducted, purpose of
the research, funding source(s),
duration, requested dataset, a brief
narrative description of the research
project, and proposed Title 13, Chapter
5 benefits to the Census Bureau. This
information is entered into the CES
database via the Web application,
resulting in a project record with a
system generated unique identification
number.
Upon creation of the preliminary
proposal, the RDC Administrator
reviews it for accuracy and
completeness and advises the
submitting researcher of any needed
improvements. The Administrator must
approve the preliminary proposal before
the researcher may submit a final
proposal to CES.
The Proposal Process
Persons wishing to conduct research
at a Research Data Center must submit
a research proposal using the Center for
Economic Studies (CES) web
application (https://
www.ces.census.gov). Detailed
guidelines describe the research
proposal submission process. Two
distinct steps are required to submit a
research proposal. The first step is the
development of a preliminary proposal.
The second step is the submission of a
final proposal for review.
Final Proposal Submission
The final proposal consists of three
separate documents in Adobe Acrobat
Portable Document Format (PDF): (1) A
one-page abstract of the proposal, (2) the
project description (full proposal), and
(3) a statement of benefits to the Census
Bureau. The submitter uploads the final
documents using the Web application
and submits for formal RDC review via
a button link.
Document length varies by type. The
abstract is limited to one page. The
proposal narrative is limited to fifteen
pages single-spaced or thirty pages
double-spaced. The benefits statement
can range from five to as many as fifteen
pages depending upon proposal scale
and scope.

proposal to conduct research at a

agrees to submit a final project report
called a Post Project Certification (PPC).
The annual progress reports may vary in
length and content, but submitters are
urged to use the PPC format as
described below. The Post Project
Certification follows a fixed format and
may be generated as a template in Rich
Test Format (RTF) by the project
management system.
II. Method of Collection
User Account
Each researcher affiliated with a
project must have a user account in the
project management system. The system
contains an account management utility
for new account requests and approvals,
enabling and disabling accounts,
locking and unlocking accounts,
addition and subtraction of account
privileges, and for changes to account
information such as change of
affiliation, email address or name. Only
RDC Administrators and other
authorized Census Bureau staff can
submit requests using the account
manager tool. All requests for new user
accounts and for changes to existing
accounts must be routed through RDC
Administrators by researchers. Once a
researcher’s account has been enabled
and unlocked by Census staff, he or she
may gain access to the Web application
for the purposes of submitting new or
modified proposal documents, for
checking on the status of a proposal
under review, and for changing his or
her password, which expires after 45
days of inactivity.
Information collected and retained in
user accounts consists of first and last
name, email address (the user’s log on
ID to the system), organizational
affiliation, and whether a US citizen or
not.
Research Project Information Template
Researchers with an enabled user
account may create a research project
entry in the system by clicking on the
‘‘New Proposal’’ button. This action
opens a page containing a six item
prerequisite checklist to which the user
must agree before continuing to the next
page. The second page presents a
template where the user enters required
information about a research project he
or she wishes to conduct at a Census
Research Data Center. The requested
information consists of project title,
field of study (selected from a dropdown list) duration in months, funding
source, primary RDC location, brief
project description, proposed Title 13
benefits (from a drop-down list),
research personnel (selected from a
presented list of current user accounts),
E:\FR\FM\02SEN1.SGM
02SEN1
51952
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 169 / Tuesday, September 2, 2014 / Notices
and requested datasets (selected from a
presented list). The submitter then saves
the project information to the database.
The system assigns a unique project
number, sets the project’s status to
NEW, and sends an email to the RDC
Administrator. The Administrator may
approve the preliminary proposal,
request revisions, or reject it. Upon RDC
Administrator approval, the researcher
is invited to submit the required
proposal documents.
Research Project Documents
• Abstract—A one-page document
that summarizes the project’s objectives,
lists requested datasets, and identifies
the proposed Title 13 benefits to the
Census Bureau.
