Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 14, 2005 / Notices 54353 

A coverage measurement program 

evaluates the coverage of the Decennial 

Census enumeration. 

Coverage error includes: 

—Components of Coverage Error—The 

two components of census coverage 

error are census omissions (missed 

persons) and erroneous inclusions. 

The latter includes duplicates, and 

persons who should not have been 

enumerated at a particular address 

(per our residence rules). 

—Net Coverage Error—Reflects the 

difference between omissions and 

erroneous inclusions. A positive net 

error indicates an undercount, while 

a negative net error indicates an 

overcount. 

The purpose of the 2006 CCM test is 

not to evaluate the coverage of the 2006 

Census Test per se, but rather to test 

ways of improving previous coverage 

measurement methods. The CCM 

operation will evaluate improvements to 

CCM data collection methods and new 

approaches tested in 2006 to provide 

better CCM data and more accurate 

measures of coverage error for the 2010 

Census. 

The focus of the 2006 CCM Test is to 

test improved matching operations and 

data collection efforts designed to obtain 

more accurate information about where 

a person should have been enumerated 

according to our residence rules. 

An additional objective for the 2006 

CCM Test is to determine if we can 

conduct coverage measurement 

interviews before all census data 

collection is complete, and do so 

without contaminating the census and 

adversely affecting coverage 

measurement. This contamination 

would have a small effect on the census, 

but a more serious effect on coverage 

measurement. There are several 

operational and data quality advantages 

of conducting coverage measurement 

interviews as close to census day as 

possible, but we do not want to do this 

if it will seriously affect measurement of 

coverage error. 

The 2006 CCM operations will use a 

sample of approximately 5,000 housing 

units in selected census tracts in Travis 

County, Texas; and 500 housing units 

on the Cheyenne River Reservation, offreservation Trust Lands in South 

Dakota. The first operation of the CCM 

will be the PI operation. After data 

collected from the PI operation is 

matched to data collected by the short 

form enumeration in the CCM sample 

areas, certain cases will be sent for 

another CCM interview called the 

Person Followup Interview. A separate 

request for clearance will be submitted 

for that operation. 

We also will conduct a quality control 

operation—PI Reinterview (PIRI). For 

this operation a random sample of 

approximately 500 housing units in 

selected census tracts in Travis County, 

Texas; and 50 housing units on the 

Cheyenne River Reservation, offreservation Trust Lands in South Dakota 

will be selected. The purpose of the 

operation is to confirm that the PI 

enumerator conducted a PI with an 

actual household member or a valid 

proxy respondent. If the PIRI staff 

detects falsified information by the 

original enumerator, all cases worked by 

the original enumerator are reworked by 

reassigning the cases to a different PI 

enumerator. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: One time. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., 141
