"FDCA Project Background

The U.S. Decennial Census of Population and Housing calls for enumeration of the people every 10 years. There are currently 2 main aspects of a decennial census, collection of respondent data from paper form mailings, the Internet, and telephone, and then collection of respondent data by enumerators sent into the field. The latter is called field data collection. The automation support for these activities reflects the scope of the FDCA contract.
The process begins in 2007, when the Census Bureau will conduct initial activities for a dress rehearsal of nearly all operations planned for the 2010 Census, including the field data collection operations. This represents the final operational test of the entire complement of methods, procedures, and automation prior to the field data collection for the decennial census in 2010.
For the 2010 Census, significant preparatory operations begin in late 2007, with the opening, staffing, and automation and telecommunications build-out for 12 temporary Regional Census Centers (RCC) and the Puerto Rico Area Office (PRAO). Office build out of approximately 450+ temporary Local Census Offices (LCOs), which will eventually support 27,000+ office staff, who will monitor, manage, and control approximately 500,000 mobile field staff will continue through 2009. From this framework of RCCs, the PRAO, LCOs, and mobile field staff, the field data collection process begins with an operation called Address Canvassing. The Census Bureau conducts Address Canvassing to ensure a complete address list for conducting census data collection operations. The FDCA contract provides both the office and field automation support required for Address Canvassing. The Census Bureau conducts approximately 18 distinct field operations for the collection of census data. The Census Bureau has designed these operations to collect data from people who did not respond to the initial mailings, or to enumerate special populations or people residing in special situations, such as the military, college dormitories, shelters, etc. The Non-Response Follow-Up (NRFU) operation reflects an operation in this category, which also will utilize significant automation support from FDCA. Following the field data collection operations, the Census Bureau conducts a final set of evaluation operations. These operations are generally used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the response data and the effectiveness of field data collection operations. Census Coverage Measurement (CCM) is a vital operation within this category designed to measure the coverage error of the enumeration of persons and living quarters in a decennial census. FDCA will provide the automation support required to conduct the type of complex interview required for the CCM operation.
