Census. The CCM program will provide 

estimates of net coverage error and 

components of coverage error 

(omissions and erroneous enumerations) 

for housing units and persons in 

housing units. The data collection and 

matching methodologies for previous 

coverage measurement programs were 

designed only to measure net coverage 

error, which reflects the difference 

between omissions and erroneous 

inclusions. 

The 2010 CCM will be comprised of 

two samples selected to measure census 

coverage of housing units and the 

household population: The population 

sample (P sample) and the enumeration 

sample (E sample). The primary 

sampling unit is a block cluster, which 

consists of one or more contiguous 

census blocks. The P sample is a sample 

of housing units and persons obtained 

independently from the census for a 

sample of block clusters. The E sample 

is a sample of census housing units and 

enumerations in the same block cluster 

as the P sample. The results of the 

housing unit matching operations will 

be used to determine which CCM and 

Census addresses will be eligible to go 

to the CCM Person Interview (PI) 

Operation. The PI Operations will 

contain approximately 205,000 sample 

addresses. The Person Interview 

Reinterview Operation will be a sample 

of those cases with an estimate of 30,750 

sample addresses. 

The automated PI instrument will be 

used to collect the following 

information for persons in housing units 

only: 

1. Roster of people living at the 

housing unit at the time of the CCM PI 

Interview. 

2. Census Day (April 1, 2010) address 

information from people who moved 

into the sample address since Census 

Day. 

3. Other addresses where a person 

may have been counted on Census Day. 

4. Other information to help us 

determine where a person should have 

been counted as of Census Day (relative 

to Census residence rules). For example, 

enumerators will probe for persons who 

might have been left off the household 

roster; ask additional questions about 

persons who moved from another 

address on Census Day to the sample 

address; collect additional information 

for persons with multiple addresses; 

and collect information on the addresses 

of other potential residences for 

household members. 

5. Demographic information for each 

person in the household on Interview 

Day or Census Day, including name, 

date of birth, sex, race, Hispanic Origin, 

and relationship. 

6. Name and above information for 

any person who has moved out of the 

sample address since Census Day (if 

known). 

We also will conduct a quality control 

operation—PI Reinterview (PIRI) on 15 

percent of the PI cases. The purpose of 

the operation is to confirm that the PI 

enumerator conducted a PI interview 

with an actual household member or a 

valid proxy respondent and conduct a 

full person interview when falsification 

is suspected. If PIRI results indicate 

falsified information by the original 

enumerator, all cases worked by the 

original enumerator are reworked by 

reassigning the cases to a different PI 

enumerator. 

In addition to the CCM PI Operation, 

CCM will conduct a Recall Bias Panel 

Study that will be conducted using an 

automated instrument over the phone. 

The study will examine recall bias in 

the CCM with respect to residence 

during the 2010 Census cycle. One of 

the recurring questions regarding the 

2010 CCM is whether conducting the 

CCM Person Interview (PI) and CCM 

Person Followup (PFU) operations, later 

than in previous post-enumeration 

surveys, will cause degradation on the 

data collection of respondent moves 

since Census Day (April 1, 2010) and 

the information on alternate addresses 

for the residents. The main goal of the 

study is to provide initial insight into 

the issue of recall bias for the CCM PI 

and PFU. This initial study will 

measure if we can detect a problem as 

our contact moves away from Census 

Day, but will not be able to detect if the 

reporting errors cancel each other out. 

Therefore, if no problem is found, we 

will not be able to conclude that there 

is not a problem with recall bias. The 

plan is to design and implement further 

studies of this issue for CCM in the 2020 

Decennial testing life cycle. 

Four panels of random digit dialing 

(RDD) respondents will be interviewed 

during May, June and September 2010, 

and February 2011. These time periods 

represent the current timing for 2010 

Census Nonresponse Followup, 

Coverage Followup, CCM Person 

Interview (PI), and the CCM Person 

Followup (PFU) operations. The study 

will collect the sample information as 

the CCM PI operation. The study will 

include 10,000 numbers per panel for a 

total of 40,000 individuals that can be 

contacted. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: One time. 

Respondent’s Obligation: PI 

Operation: Mandatory. 

Recall Study: Voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

proposes to continue its collection of 

socio-economic data from commercial 

fishermen in Florida’s stone crab and 

lobster fisheries. The survey intends to 

collect economic information about 

revenues, variable and fixed costs, 

capital investment and other auxiliary 

and demographic information. The data 

gathered will be used to describe 

economic performance and to evaluate 

the socio-economic impacts of future 

federal regulatory actions. The 

information will improve fishery 

management decisionmaking and satisfy 

legal requirements under Executive 

Order 12866, the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (U.S.C. 1801, et seq.), the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, the Endangered Species 

Act, the National Environmental Policy 

Act, and other pertinent statutes. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Southeast Fisheries Science 

Center plans to conduct approximately 

150–225 voluntary, in-person interviews 

from approximately 1,000 commercial 

stone crab and lobster fishermen who do 

not live in the Florida Keys. A stratified 

random sampling strategy will be 

employed, with strata defined by 

county. Approximately 160 interviews 

have been completed in counties along 

the west coast of Florida. The next 

phase of the project intends to collect 

data in counties along the east coast of 

Florida. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0560. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

225. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 75. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology.
