Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Specimen Submission.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0090.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act of 2002 (AHPA) is
the primary Federal law governing the
protection of animal health. The law
gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad
authority to detect, control, or eradicate
pests or diseases of livestock or poultry.
Disease prevention is the most effective
method for maintaining a healthy
animal population and for enhancing
the United States’ ability to globally
compete in the trade of animals and
animal products. VS Forms 10–4 and
10–4A, Specimen Submission are
critical components of APHIS’ disease
surveillance mission. They are used
routinely when specimens (such as
blood, milk, tissue, or urine) from any
animal (including cattle, swine, sheep,
goats, horses, and poultry) are submitted
to APHIS’ National Veterinary Services
Laboratories (NVSL) for disease testing.
VS Form 5–38, Parasite Submission
form, is completed by State
veterinarians or other State
representatives, accredited
veterinarians, private laboratories,
research institutions, and owners or
producer.
Need and Use of the Information:
Using APHIS form VS 10–4, State or
Federal veterinarians, accredited
veterinarians, or other State and Federal
representatives will document the
collection and submission of specimens
for laboratory analysis. The form
identifies the individual animal from
which the specimen is taken as well as
the animal’s herd or flock; the type of
specimen submitted, and the purpose of
submitting the specimen. The National
Tick Surveillance Program is based on
the information submitted on VS Form
5–38, in addition to critical surveillance
information needed for the Cattle Fever
Tick Eradication Program. This
information identifies the individual
submitting the tick samples. Without
the information APHIS would not have
the critical information necessary to

surveillance program.

I. Abstract
During the years preceding the 2020
Census, the Census Bureau will pursue
its commitment to reduce the costs of
conducting a decennial census, while
maintaining our commitment to quality.
In the 2018 Fiscal Year, the Census
Bureau will be performing a 2018 Endto-End Census Test. This last major test
before the 2020 Census has the stated
purpose (1) to test and validate 2020
Census operations, procedures, systems,
and field infrastructure together to
ensure proper integration and
conformance with functional and nonfunctional requirements, and (2) to
produce a prototype of geographic and
data products.
The Address Canvassing operation,
beginning in the summer of 2017, is the
first operation in the 2018 End-to-End
Census Test. The purpose of the
Address Canvassing operation is (1) to
deliver a complete and accurate address
list and spatial database for enumeration
and tabulation, and (2) to determine the
type and address characteristics for each
living quarter.
The following objectives are crucial to
a successful Address Canvassing
operation:
• Test the listing and mapping
capabilities required by In-Field
Address Canvassing.
• Validate the creation of In-Field
Address Canvassing workload by InOffice Address Canvassing.
• Conduct a listing quality control
operation during In-Field Address
Canvassing.
Background
For the 2010 Census, Address
Canvassing field staff, referred to as
listers, traversed almost every block in
the nation to compare what they
observed on the ground to the contents
of the Census Bureau’s address list.
Listers verified or corrected addresses
that were on the list, added new
addresses to the list, and deleted
addresses that no longer existed. Listers
also collected map spot locations (i.e.,
Global Positioning System coordinates)
for each structure and added new
streets.
In addition to Address Canvassing,
the Census Bureau conducted the Group
Quarters Validation (GQV) operation
after the Address Canvassing operation
and prior to enumeration for the 2010
Census. The purpose of the GQV
operation was to improve the Group
Quarters (GQ) frame. A GQ is a place
where people live or stay, in a group
living arrangement that is owned or
managed by an entity or organization
providing housing and/or services for
PO 00000

the residents. This is not a typical
household-type living arrangement, and
residency is commonly restricted to
those receiving specific services. Types
of GQs include such places as college
residence halls, residential treatment
centers, skilled-nursing facilities, group
homes, military barracks, correctional
facilities, and workers’ dormitories.
For the 2010 Census GQV operation,
field staff visited a specific address to
determine if it was a GQ, housing unit,
transitory location (TL), a nonresidential unit, or if it was nonexistent.
If the address was a GQ or TL, the lister
collected additional information needed
for subsequent enumeration operations
such as contact name. In support of a
more efficient census design strategy,
the 2020 Census will not conduct a
separate operation to validate GQ
information. Instead, the 2020 Census
will validate GQ information during the
Address Canvassing operation. This
includes the collection of a contact
name and phone number, as well as
data about the type of GQ and the
number of potential residents, which
will be needed in enumeration
operations during the census. The
Address Canvassing Operation
component of the 2018 End-to-End
Census Test will be a test of the Address
Canvassing field procedures planned for
the 2020 Census Address Canvassing, as
well as a validation study of the InOffice Address Canvassing that is
planned. These processes are described
in more detail below.
2020 Census Address Canvassing: InOffice Address Canvassing
In-Office Address Canvassing is the
process of using empirical geographic
evidence (e.g., imagery, comparison of
the Census Bureau’s address list to
partner-provided lists) to assess the
current address list and make changes
where necessary. This component
detects and captures change from high
quality administrative and third-party
data, reducing the In-Field Address
Canvassing workload.
In-Office Address Canvassing starts
with Interactive Review (IR), which is
an imagery-based review to assess the
extent to which the number of
addresses—both housing units and
GQs—in the census address list are
consistent with the number of addresses
visible in current imagery. It also
assesses the changes between the
current imagery and an older vintage of
imagery (around the time of 2010
Census Address Canvassing).
Results from IR inform the Active
Block Resolution (ABR) process, which
seeks to research and update areas
identified with growth, decline,
