DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission For OMB Review; Comment Request
DOC has submitted 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 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
Agency: Bureau of the Census.
Title: Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal: Integrated Coverage Measurement
and Post Enumeration Survey Activities (Person Follow-up Interview and
Evaluation Interview) and Initial Phase Evaluation Activities
(Administrative Record Coverage and Multiple Response).
Form Number(s): DX-1301, DX-1301.EI, DX-1301.PSA, and DX-1301(P).
Agency Approval Number: None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden: 6,173 hours.
Number of Respondents: 20,190.
Avg Hours Per Response: 18 and a half minutes.
Needs and Uses: In the Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal, the Census
Bureau will conduct a dress rehearsal of both its Integrated Coverage
Measurement (ICM) and Post Enumeration Survey (PES) methodologies that
can be used alternatively to measure coverage of the census for housing
units and people. During Person Follow-up, we reconcile differences
between ICM/PES person interview phase and the census initial
enumeration. The result will be the information needed to produce the
final estimates of the coverage for the Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal.
The evaluation activities include analyzing the effectiveness of the
ICM/PES data collection process and the potential coverage improvement
from utilizing alternate response options and administrative records in
census operations.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, Section 141.
OMB Desk Officer: Nancy Kirkendall, (202) 395-7313.
