SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Abstract

The Bureau of the Census developed

the ICM approach for measuring

coverage during the decennial census.

The Independent Listing will obtain a

complete housing unit inventory of all

addresses within the 1998 ICM Dress

Rehearsal sites just before the 1998

Dress Rehearsal commences. Currently,

we are planning on using two

Independent Listing forms, DX–1302

and DX–1302A. The DX–1302 will

contain experimental questions

designed to enhance our address listing

procedures. We will compare the results

using Form DX–1302 with those from a

control listing form that did not contain

the experimental questions, Form DX–

1302A, to see if the experimental

questions improved our coverage of

addresses. The Independent Listing will

undergo a quality assurance operation to

ensure that the work performed is of

acceptable quality and to verify that the

correct block was visited.

The listings will be matched to the

census list of addresses; the unmatched

cases will be sent to the field for

reconciliation using the Housing Unit

Follow-up Form, DX–1303. For quality

assurance purposes, a sample of the

follow-up cases will be verified to

ensure that the follow-up enumerators

visit the block clusters, resolve the

cases, and correctly follow procedures.

The resultant address listing will be

used in the next phase of the ICM, the

ICM Person Interview. The forms and

procedures to be used in this phase of

the ICM in the 1998 Dress Rehearsal

will be included in a separate

submission.
