The Census Bureau is requiring an independent evaluation of the 2010 Census Integrated Communication Campaign (2010 Census ICC) to determine if the goals of the 2010 Census ICC achieved it's goals, for assessing the success of 2010 Census and for planning of the 2020 Census. This evaluation will allow stakeholders and concerned parties, to determine if the reduced Nonresponse Followup burden due to the 2010 Census ICC justifies the significant investment in the program. The survey involves the general public based on probability methods that combine cross-sectional, time-series samples with longitudinal samples to maximize the statistical power of cross-sectional estimates and change over time.
We have made changes to the Wave 3 Questionnaire that do not affect burden. However, in fielding the first two waves of the 2010 Census ICP Evaluation, we have found that eligibility rates for selected supplemental samples are lower than originally expected. Because of this lower than expected eligibility rate, we will need to contact more households to screen for eligibility in Wave 3 than we had originally estimated. This will increase the overall burden of this collection by 334 hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
