data from the public in American 

Samoa, the Commonwealth of the 

Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and 

the U.S. Virgin Islands (collectively 

referred to as the Island Areas) as part 

of the 2010 Census. The United States 

Constitution mandates that a census of 

the Nation’s population be taken every 

ten years. In Title 13, U.S. Code, the 

Congress gave the Secretary of 

Commerce (delegated to the Director of 

the Census Bureau) authority to 

undertake the decennial census. The 

geographic scope of the decennial 

census is specified in Title 13 U.S.C., 

Section 191 as covering the 50 states, 

the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, 

the U.S. Virgin Islands of the United 

States, the Commonwealth of the 

Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and 

any other areas as may be determined by 

the Department of State. In the 2010 

Census, the Census Bureau also will 

enumerate the Pacific Island Area of 

American Samoa. Census data are used 

to determine funding allocations for the 

distribution of federal and state funds 

each year. 

From the 2010 Census of the Island 

Areas, the Census Bureau will collect 

demographic, social, economic, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau will conduct the 

2010 Census Program for Evaluations 

and Experiments (CPEX) to evaluate the 

current census and to build a 

foundation on which to make early and 

informed decisions for planning the 

next census in 2020. Program planners 

designed CPEX to measure the 

effectiveness of the 2010 Census design 

(including operations, systems, and 

processes), in addition to determining 

how the design impacts data quality. 

The intent of this public notice is to 

present the plan for and to invite 

comments on one CPEX project: The 

2010 Census Integrated Communication 

Program (ICP) Evaluation. 

In September 2007, the Census 

Bureau contracted the services of 

Draftfcb, Inc., a marketing 

communications agency, to create, 

produce and implement an integrated 

marketing and communications 

campaign in support of the 2010 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 3, 2009 / Notices 9215 

Census. The contract, known as the 

2010 Census Integrated Communication 

Campaign (ICC), was awarded as an 

Indefinite Delivery—Indefinite Quantity 

(IDIQ), multiple-year contract (one 12- 

month base year and three 12-month 

option years), with an estimated value 

of $207 million. 

The 2010 Census ICC is the second 

time that the decennial census has 

involved a paid advertising campaign. 

Evaluations of the Census 2000 paid 

advertising campaign indicated that the 

effort contributed to increasing mail 

returns of census forms, thereby 

reducing costs of the Non-Response 

Follow-Up operation. The 2010 Census 

ICC contract is a major public 

expenditure and has great potential to 

affect the quality and overall cost of the 

2010 Census. For these reasons, a 

rigorous and independent evaluation of 

the 2010 Census ICC is essential for 

assessing the success of the 2010 Census 

and planning for the 2020 Census. 

The 2010 Census ICC also includes 

partnerships, the Census in Schools 

effort, and other related outreach 

programs and activities to the public. 

The Census Bureau partnership 

campaign involves the Census Bureau 

partnering with state and local 

organizations, including churches and 

social organizations, to help U.S. 

residents learn about the Census, and be 

encouraged to participate by people 

they trust rather than the government 

collecting the data. The Census in 

Schools campaign is an effort to reach 

families through their school-age 

children. 

In the fall of 2008, after an open 

competition, the Census Bureau 

awarded a contract to the National 

Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the 

University of Chicago to conduct an 

evaluation of the 2010 Census ICC. 

NORC is tasked with conducting an 

independent evaluation of the 

integrated marketing communication 

campaign to determine if the campaign 

is achieving its goals. The purpose of 

the evaluation is to assess the impact of 

the entire campaign in addition to 

determining the contribution of each of 

its components: Paid media/advertising, 

partnerships, the Census in Schools 

program, and related outreach to the 

public. NORC has developed an 

evaluation strategy to determine if the 

following three goals were achieved by 

the 2010 Census ICC. 

(1) Increased mail response; 

(2) Reduced differential undercount; 

and 

(3) Improved cooperation with 

enumerators. 

NORC’s evaluation of the 

effectiveness of the overall campaign 

also involves assessing the extent to 

which the campaign moves people 

toward the goal of responding to the 

census. This may consist of measuring 

the effectiveness of specific messages for 

target audiences, measuring increases in 

awareness of the census and changes in 

attitudes toward the census (survey 

research), and measuring changes in 

intention to return the census form and 

actual return of the form (survey 

research; modeling). These are general 

measures of effectiveness, and when 

used together, provide a good indicator 

of how well a campaign does in support 

of the overall objectives. 

NORC’s evaluation will objectively 

measure whether campaign strategies 

and tactics were effective in raising 

awareness, changing attitudes and/or 

beliefs, and influencing behavior. In 

assessing the overall effectiveness of the 

campaign, NORC will also identify and 

measure the impact of key phenomena 

pertaining to the 2010 Census, but 

outside the scope of the official ICP. 

This includes acknowledgement and 

measurement of breaking events. 

Finally, NORC will compare the 

knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about 

the Census held by Americans before, 

during, and after the 2010 Census ICC 

implementation with those held at 

similar points in time relative to the 

Census 2000. 

Populations of Interest: The Census 

Bureau and Draftfcb have identified two 

classifications of the U.S. population 

that undergird much of the design and 

implementation of the 2010 Census ICC. 

These two classifications figure 

prominently in the sample design and 

analysis plan for the 2010 Census ICP 

Evaluation. First, the Census Bureau has 

identified five race/ethnicity 

populations of particular priority in 

census outreach efforts. These are: Black 

Africans and African-Americans, 

Hispanics of any race, Native Hawaiians 

and other Pacific Islanders, American 

Indians and Alaska Natives, and Asians. 

In addition, Draftfcb and the Census 

Bureau have devised an audience 

segmentation that classifies all census 

tracts in the United States into one of 

eight segments that share similar 

socioeconomic and other demographic 

characteristics as well as propensity to 

complete the census form. The eight 

audience segments are: Advantaged 

Homeowners, All Around Average I, All 

Around Average II, Economically 

Disadvantaged, Ethnic Enclave I, Single 

Unattached Mobiles, Economically 

Disadvantaged II, and Ethnic Enclave II. 

The audience segments provide the 

basis for 2010 Census ICC decisions 

regarding resources, media selection, 

and tailored messages. 

Evaluation Design 

NORC’s proposed evaluation design 

involves the following key elements: 

conduct surveys of the general public 

based on probability methods that 

combine cross-sectional, time-series 

samples with longitudinal samples to 

maximize the statistical power of crosssectional estimates and change over 

time and in response to 2010 Census 

ICC efforts. NORC will conduct hybrid 

(cross-sectional/longitudinal) surveys 

with probability samples of United 

States households, oversampling 

minority populations and other target 

segments, at three points in time— 

[Wave 1] during the earliest phases of 

partnership activity, in mid-2009 to 

assess baseline levels of all measures of 

public attention and intentions that will 

be the focus of the 2010 Census ICC; 

[Wave 2] during the expected peak of 

2010 Census ICC activity from January 

through May 2010; and [Wave 3] during 

the post mailout period from May 

through August 2010. 

Exposure to components of the 2010 

Census ICC will be estimated using 

several data sources in addition to 

survey data. These data sources will 

permit exploration of relationships 

between intensity of campaign activity 

and changes in awareness, attitudes, 

and intentions among the general public 

and key population subgroups. Data 

sources will include ratings and 

impressions data for the paid 

advertising campaign, and the Census 

Bureau’s Integrated Campaign 

Partnership Database (ICPD) data for 

measuring partnership activity. NORC 

also plans to merge actual data on 

household participation in the 2010 

Census with the survey records of 

households in the 2010 Census ICP 

Evaluation survey sample for a more 

detailed and accurate record of 

households’ census participation, 

including mailback status, cooperation 

with enumerators, and other indicators 

of census actions regarding these 

households’ 2010 participation. Each of 

these alternative data sources will be 

essential in corroborating, triangulating 

with, or providing alternative measures 

of exposure to the self-reported 

campaign exposure measures collected 

through surveys. 

NORC will collaborate with Census 

Bureau staff to compile aggregate-level 

data on the 2010 Census ICC effort and 

Census results to analyze the 

relationships between measures of 

planned and actual 2010 Census ICC 

activity (by component) and aggregate 

Census participation results (mail 

response, enumerator response, nonresponse) in 1990, 2000, and 2010 to 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

9216 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 3, 2009 / Notices 

identify trends over time in target 

segments and for hard-to-count areas. 

To improve the ability of the NORC 

design to detect a relationship between 

campaign exposure and response, there 

will also be ‘observational case-control 

studies.’ In these studies, additional 

cases will be added in geographical 

areas selected as matched pairs. These 

pairs will be similar on sociodemographic and psychosocial 

characteristics but may be likely to 

experience planned or unplanned 

variations in the implementation of 

2010 Census ICC components. The pairs 

will be determined during the course of 

the 2010 Census ICP Evaluation using 

evidence gathered from Draftfcb strategy 

and implementation, Waves 1 and 2 

data from this evaluation, as well as the 

ancillary data mentioned above. The 

objective is to compare public exposure 

to the persuasive messages delivered 

through 2010 Census ICC components 

and to measure the resulting differential 

impact (if any), improving the clarity of 

the evidence for 2010 Census ICC 

effects. 

Combining and interpreting results 

from multiple analytical approaches 

will improve the capacity of the design 

to answer the key evaluation questions 

concerning the impact of the 2010 

Census ICC and its components, and the 

return on investment of 2010 Census 

ICC resources with respect to the three 

primary outcomes of interest. As 

needed, qualitative data collection may 

further inform or illuminate puzzles 

within the analysis activity. 

Sample Selection 

The 2010 Census ICP Evaluation data 

collection plan calls for 3,000 cases each 

in Waves 1 and 2, and 4,200 cases in 

Wave 3. Approximately 1,500 cases in 

each of Waves 2 and 3 will come from 

a longitudinal panel of Wave 1 cases, 

while the remaining cases in the Wave 

will be selected for the first time. 

In Waves 1 and 2, equal numbers of 

cases will come from each of the five 

race/ethnicity populations and the 

remaining non-targeted group. The 

sample size of 500 per race/ethnicity 

group used in the 2000 Partnership and 

Marketing Program Evaluation (PMPE), 

the analogous evaluation from the 2000 

Census, resulted in design effects 

around 2.0 and standard errors of 3.2 

percent (on a binary proportion of 50 

percent). The same sample sizes are 

planned for the 2010 Census ICP 

Evaluation. For Wave 3, the sample size 

will grow to 900 for each of the three 

largest race/ethnicity groups (nontargeted, non-Hispanic Black African 

and African-American, Hispanic of any 

race). This will not only decrease the 

standard errors for this wave, but will 

also permit selection of additional 

respondents into the sample to support 

the observational study design 

described above. 

The three largest race/ethnicity 

groups will be fielded together as a core 

sample from a nationally representative 

sample of households selected using 

NORC’s 2000 National Frame. The three 

additional samples are of sufficiently 

rare populations that they must be 

selected separately. 

Three Supplemental Samples 

For the remaining three race/ethnicity 

populations, manipulating the tracts 

and segments selected will not be 

sufficient to meet the target sample 

sizes. Therefore, NORC will have to 

field independent samples. Asian and 

Native Hawaiian samples can be drawn 

from addresses in NORC’s National 

Frame, but American Indian/Alaska 

Native reservation samples will require 

fresh listing. 

American Indians/Alaska Native (AIAN) 

According to the 2000 Census, there 

were 3,420,171 persons living in the 

United States that were non-Hispanic 

and AIAN (alone or in combination with 

another race), and 998,199 living on the 

651 U.S. reservations (29.3 percent of 

the AIAN population). For costefficiency, NORC will select Waves 1, 2, 

and 3 samples from 20 reservations out 

of the 283 reservations with at least 250 

AIANs. 

Asians 

According to the 2000 Census, there 

were 11,266,934 persons in the United 

States that were non-Hispanic and 

Asian (alone or in combination with 

another race). Of these, 17.0 percent live 

in the five U.S. cities with the largest 

Asian populations, and 29.3 percent live 

in the 40 cities with the largest Asian 

populations that also satisfy a density of 

10 percent. NORC will select Waves 1, 

2, and 3 samples from 40 cities within 

its National Frame (some, like Fremont, 

CA, are not the central city for a 

metropolitan statistical area). 

Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander 

(NHOPI) 

According to the 2000 Census, there 

were 860,965 persons living in the 

United States who were non-Hispanic 

and NHOPI (alone or in combination 

with another race). Of these persons, 

32.8 percent live in the state of Hawaii, 

and 23.32 percent of Hawaii residents 

are NHOPI; less than 1 percent of 

residents are NHOPI in all other states. 

The state with the largest NHOPI 

population outside of Hawaii is 

California, which contains 25.4 percent 

of U.S. NHOPIs, but only 0.64 percent 

of California residents are NHOPI. The 

state with the next largest NHOPI 

population is Washington, which has 

4.8 percent of U.S. NHOPIs, but only 

0.70 percent of Washington residents 

are NHOPI. NORC will select Waves 1, 

2, and 3 samples from all five counties 

in Hawaii. 

The Census Bureau is discussing the 

sampling strategies for these three 

supplemental samples with NORC and 

may propose an alternative approach. 

Analysis 

The 2010 Census ICP Evaluation 

questionnaires will cover such topics as: 

Demographics; general media use and 

other activities that might lead to 

exposure to the 2010 Census ICC; 

knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about 

the Census; intent to participate; actions 

taken upon receipt of the Census form 

or interactions with Census enumerators 

(depending on the timing of the wave); 

and self-reported exposure to 2010 

Census ICC activities, including 

unaided and aided awareness and 

confirmed recall questions. 

Analyses will include cross-sectional 

examinations of each wave’s data 

independently, as well as repeated 

cross-section and longitudinal analyses 

across waves. By incorporating various 

other data sources, NORC will be able 

to estimate campaign evaluation-style 

models for assessing the impact of 

various components of the 2010 Census 

ICC. Analyses will focus on the general 

public, the five hard-to-enumerate 

groups, and the eight audience 

segments. For each of these subpopulations, NORC will discuss the 

various research questions described 

above. 

II. Method of Collection 

Pre-Testing of Survey Instruments 

At least 75 percent of the 

questionnaire items for all three waves’ 

instruments have previously been 

administered in national surveys 

cleared by Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB). Chiefly, the source 

instruments are from the 2000 PMPE 

and the Census Barriers, Attitudes, and 

Motivations Survey (fielded in 2008, by 

Macro International Inc. for DraftFCB). 

Additional pre-testing of the proposed 

instruments will be conducted under 

the generic OMB clearance provided to 

the Census Bureau for CPEX data 

collection. All three draft questionnaires 

will be pre-tested using cognitive 

interviewing techniques and then for 

accuracy of timing estimates. 

Convenience sample respondents will 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 3, 2009 / Notices 9217 

be recruited from the general public, the 

five hard-to-enumerate populations 

identified as priorities by the Census 

Bureau, and the eight ‘audience 

segments’ defined at the census-tract 

level. 

A key tool for improved quality of 

self-reported media exposure data is the 

use of confirmed recall items in which 

respondents are not only asked to report 

on ad viewing, but also on the details of 

the ad content. This question type will 

be of great value in the Waves 2 and 3 

questionnaires, when the paid 

advertising campaign will be in full 

swing. Final advertisements will not be 

developed, however, until closer to the 

time of campaign implementation. 

Specific questionnaire items will be 

developed and pre-tested after final 

advertisements are available for review. 

Templates of these question formats will 

be submitted with the original OMB 

package, but specific questions will be 

submitted to OMB for review after the 

formal clearance process has been 

completed. 

Survey Schedule 

Three surveys are proposed: 

Wave [dates] Sample size and composition Comments 

1 [Summer/Fall 2009] ...................... 3,000 evenly distributed across 6 

race/ethnic groups.

2 [January 10–May 15, 2010] ......... 3,000 evenly distributed across 6 

race/ethnic groups.

1,500 cases (evenly distributed across race/ethnic groups) who completed Wave 1 as well. 

3 [May 15–August 31, 2010] ........... 4,200, of which 3,000 evenly distributed across 6 race/ethnic 

groups.

+ 1,500 cases (evenly distributed across race/ethnic groups) who 

completed Wave 1 (and possibly Wave 2) as well. 

+ 1,200 cases in selected sites for ‘observational case control’. 

Mixed-Mode Data Collection 

NORC will employ an address-based 

sampling design that marries the 

comprehensive coverage of address lists 

with the cost effectiveness of telephone 

data collection. Through telephone 

number matching services and advance 

letter requests to sampled addresses, 

NORC will begin the data collection 

effort by telephone, expecting to obtain 

phone numbers for approximately 60 

percent of the selected sample. Cases 

will then also be solicited for web 

completion, or completion by mail and 

by paper-and-pencil Self-Administered 

Questionnaire. A sub-sample of all cases 

not completed will be fielded in-person. 

Telephone interviewing will make use 

of Computer-Assisted Telephone 

Interviewing technologies, while inperson data collection will make use of 

paper and pencil questionnaires. 

Telephone and in-person data collection 

will be conducted in the languages of 

the 2010 census form: English, Spanish, 

Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and 

Russian.
