respondents to self-respond to the
Special Census questionnaire.
Respondents will have a number of
weeks to respond to the Special Census
questionnaire using the internet selfresponse instrument. At the start of the
Special Census, the Census Bureau will
send an invitation letter to known
housing units in the Governmental
Unit’s Special Census area with
information needed to respond online.
Reminder letters and postcards will be
sent to each known housing unit to
encourage self-response and provide
information needed to do so.
After the end of the Special Census
self-response period, the Census Bureau
will conduct follow-up operations in the
field to enumerate housing units that
did not respond using the internet selfresponse instrument as well as housing
units that did not receive mailed
materials. These housing units will be
contacted by a field representative who
will conduct a Special Census interview
using a paper questionnaire. The field
operations will also enumerate group
quarters and transitory locations in the
Governmental Unit’s Special Census
area using a paper questionnaire. During
the field operations, Special Census
field representatives will conduct listing
to verify the current address lists for the
Special Census area and add, delete, or
update the addresses of living quarters
as needed, based on their observation of
housing units, transitory locations, and
group quarters. The Special Census
questionnaires will collect the same
information that was gathered during
the 2020 Census.
Several quality assurance measures
will be implemented for each Special
Census to ensure that high-quality data
are gathered using the most efficient and
cost-effective procedures. These include
edits incorporated into the online
questionnaire and the ability to validate
potentially erroneous responses in the
field. Independent quality assurance
checks, such as initial field
representative observation and review of
completed questionnaires, will be
conducted by field supervisors and
office staff. Quality control field
supervisors will conduct the Dependent
Quality Check to verify that production
field representatives performed all
listing and mapping tasks completely
and accurately. Reinterview of a sample
of field questionnaires will also be
implemented by a quality control field
representative to ensure the quality of
the data collected in the field.
The 2020 Census disclosure
avoidance methodology will be used
with a few changes for the Special
Census Program. The minimum
statistical area for which any partial
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:08 Oct 20, 2022
Jkt 259001
Special Censuses can be conducted is a
2020 Census tabulation tract. This is
different from the 2010 Special Census
Program where partial Special Censuses
were done by block. Due to this change
in methodology, only Governmental
Units whose jurisdictions encompass
one or more 2020 Census tracts will be
able to request a partial Special Census.
Furthermore, this methodological
change necessitates that a block or tract
can only be included in a Special
Census one time between 2023 and
2028. A Governmental Unit may request
multiple partial Special Censuses, but
they cannot be of overlapping areas.
Finally, the geography included in the
Special Census will impact which data
products the Governmental Units
receive based on disclosure avoidance
considerations. Some Governmental
Units will not receive the full suite of
data products; however, for those
impacted Governmental Units, the
Census Bureau will define the allowable
data products that the Governmental
Unit will receive prior to signing the
Memorandum of Agreement.
Governmental Units that request a
Special Census will receive the data
files by email once data processing and
disclosure avoidance have been
completed for the Special Census. The
data will also be posted at
data.census.gov for public use. These
data will not be used to update official
2020 Census data products and
apportionment counts, but they may be
used to update data in the Census
Bureau’s Population Estimates Program.
Changes from the 60-day Federal
Register Notice include the change in
the estimated number of respondents
and respondent burden hours. In
addition, the application fee has been
eliminated; the Special Census Program
will no longer require Governmental
Units to pay a fee when submitting a
Special Census Cost Estimate Request
form.
As the Census Bureau develops
automated tools and methods for data
collection and listing for the 2030
Decennial Census, the Special Census
Program may incorporate this additional
automation throughout the decade.
Updates to the operational design will
be implemented no earlier than 2026.
The incorporation of additional
automation may increase data collection
quality and efficiency, resulting in a
cost savings for Governmental Units, but
the extent of those cost savings is
currently unknown.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; State, Local, or Tribal
government.
Frequency: As requested by
Government Units. Each tract or block

(between 2023 and 2028).
