Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 192 / Friday, October 3, 1997 / Notices 51829

—Determine the public’s opinion of the

Federal government and the Census

Bureau in general, the Census

Bureau’s privacy and confidentiality

policies, and the extent to which the

Census Bureau adheres to its own

privacy guidelines.

—Assess change in the public’s

attitudes on privacy-related issues

using results from the 1995 JPSM,

1996 SPARU, and the 1998 SPA.

—Determine the public’s opinion of the

Census Bureau’s expanded use of

administrative records and possible

interest in collecting SSNs in the

future and the notion of an

‘‘administrative records census.’’ [As

an alternative methodology for 2010,

an administrative records census

design will be experimented with

during Census 2000.]

—Determine the public’s opinion of the

Census Bureau adopting and

communicating fair information use

principles.

The C2DR component of the 1998

SPA will compare privacy beliefs in

areas prior to and after being

‘‘sensitized’’ to the census. The C2DR

component will target a sample of

households in the Sacramento,

California and Columbia, South

Carolina C2DR sites. Comparing results

between the pre- and post-measurement

samples will help determine if

becoming sensitized to a census

(through the paid advertizing campaign

and other promotion and outreach

programs) has a significant effect on

privacy attitudes. The objectives of the

C2DR component are noted above, but

also includes:

—Based on a pre- and postmeasurement of sampled households

in the dress rehearsal sites, assess

variability in the public’s attitudes on

privacy-related issues.

Understanding how the public defines

privacy and how the public understands

the Census Bureau’s confidentiality

language and practices is important

information as privacy-related

principles and policy are developed.

Two broad observations stem from

comparing the 1995 JPSM and 1996

SPARU: first, there was little change in

attitudes towards data sharing and

secondly, in 1996 there was less trust in

government, greater concerns about

privacy, and a greater feeling of

helplessness in politically effecting

change. The surveys of the 1998 SPA

will add significant results to what we

have already learned.

II. Method of Collection

A contractor will conduct the national

survey with telephone interviewing

using an automated survey instrument

and a list-assisted random digit dialing

(RDD) sampling design. The RDD

methodology will incorporate a number

of peripheral survey techniques that

have shown to raise response rates.

Given concerns of the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) with

the trend of declining response rates

with and bias in general of RDD surveys,

the Census Bureau assessed (by

contract) the effectiveness of response

rate remedies, the appropriateness of

applying RDD methodology in

collecting privacy attitudinal data, and

the nature and extent of bias from under

coverage and nonresponse. By applying

results and recommendations from the

research to the 1998 SPA, the Census

Bureau will collect good data with a

maximal response rate and minimal bias

that maintains comparability with the

1995 JPSM and 1996 SPARU. The preand post-surveys of the C2DR

component will be administered by

telephone to a random sample of

households from the Census Bureau’s

master address file and will entail some

degree of personal visit interviews as

well.

III. Data

instrument will not have a form

households.

Code, Section 193.

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.

Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and/or

included in the request for OMB

approval of this information collection;

they also will become a matter of public
