Terms of Clearance: Census should take steps to improve the tracking of all responses to the CIR, even those received by fax or obtained through telephone follow-up operations. Annual response rates therefore, should reflect actual data received for the collection year. Census should provide to OMB by Fall 2004 an update of the matrix in Attachment E-3 reflecting response rates for the` 2003 collection year. Also, Census should carefully evaluate the utility of continuing collections for forms that have less than a 70 percent response rate or an 80 percent coverage rate. By the end of calendar year 2003, Census should inform OMB of plans to improve response rates or discontinue collections with poor response rates.
