DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.
    Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
    Title: Spatial, Address, and Imagery Data Program (SAID).
    OMB Control Number: 0607-XXXX.
    Form Number(s): N/A.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Needs and Uses: The Spatial, Address, and Imagery Data (SAID) 
Program, formerly known as the Geographic Support System Partnership 
Program, is one of seven voluntary geographic partnership programs that 
collect data to update the U.S. Census Bureau's geographic database of 
addresses, streets, boundaries, and imagery known as the Master Address 
File/Topologically Integrated Geocoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) 
System.
    The data within the MAF/TIGER System supports the Census Bureau's 
geographic framework for data collection, tabulation and dissemination. 
This framework enables the Census Bureau field personnel to navigate to 
the appropriate locations for data collection, and it enables the 
Census Bureau to accurately link demographic data from surveys and the 
decennial census to locations and areas, such as cities, school 
districts, and counties for data tabulation and dissemination.
    The data collected in the SAID Program is also used to define 
geographic boundaries, including census blocks, and to place households 
and group quarters in a specific census block. The SAID Program follows 
the process below:
    1. The Census Bureau invites participants, including tribal, state, 
county, and local governments; federal agencies; and other 
organizations each fiscal year.
    2. Participants provide a current address data with associated 
location points and attributes, spatial data, and/or imagery that is no 
more than two years old.
    3. Participants upload the requested data files to a Census Bureau 
Secure File Transfer Protocol site, per Census Bureau procedures, or 
provide a media from which the data can be acquired.
    4. The Census Bureau updates the MAF/TIGER System with the address 
and street centerline data provided by the participants and uses the 
provided imagery for quality control and change detection.
    5. The Census Bureau uses these updated addresses, streets, and 
imagery to support Census Bureau field operations, surveys, and data 
tabulation.
    The SAID Program provides the Census Bureau with a continuous 
method to obtain current, accurate, and complete address, spatial, and 
imagery data. The SAID Program helps the Census Bureau maintain its 
geographic framework for data collection, tabulation, and dissemination 
between decennial censuses and to support ongoing programs, such as the 
American Community Survey and the Population Estimates Program. Over 
the past six years, the SAID Program, under the name of the Geographic 
Support System Partnership Program, has enabled the Census Bureau to 
update addresses and street centerlines across the country, with 
participation covering nearly 94 percent of the housing units in the 
nation. Moving forward, the SAID Program will continue to focus on 
acquiring addresses, street centerlines, and imagery in targeted areas. 
The Geographic Support System Partnership Program was previously 
included in the Geographic Partnership Program Generic Clearance (OMB 
Control Number 0607-0795).
    Affected Public: Tribal, state, county, and local governments and 
organizations.
