Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal:
Integrated Coverage Measurement (ICM) and Post Enumeration Survey
(PES) Activities (Person Follow-Up Interview and Evaluation
Interview) and Initial Phase
New
collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
The Bureau of the Census developed the
ICM approach to improve statistical methodology for estimating
population coverage during the decennial census. The methodology
was first tested in the 1995 Census Test and refined in the 1996
Community Census. In the Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal, the Bureau
will conduct a dress rehearsal of both its ICM and PES
methodologies which can be used alternatively to measure coverage
of the Census. During Person Follow-Up, we reconcile differences
between ICM/PES person interview phase and the census initial
enumeration. The result will be the information needed to produce
the final estimates.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
