A P P E N D I x C : P e r f o r m a n c e M e a s u r e s D e f i n i t i o n s S t r a t e g i c O b j e c t i v e 1 . 3 Enhance the supply of key economic and demographic data to support effective decision-making of policymakers, businesses, and the American public Performance Outcome: Meet the needs of policymakers, businesses, non-profit organizations, and the public for current and benchmark measures of the U.S. population, economy, and governments (ESA/CENSUS) Performance Measure: Achieve pre-determined collection rates for Census Bureau censuses and surveys in order to provide statistically reliable data to support effective decision-making of policymakers, businesses, and the public This measure focuses on the reliability of census data in that maintaining a high level of response for both demographic and economic surveys ensures that information from the Economics and Statistics Administration’s (ESA) Census Bureau surveys and censuses is always reliable and widely accepted by customers over the long term. Reliability of Census Bureau statistics is essential for the Census Bureau to enhance the supply of key economic and demographic data to support effective decisionmaking of policymakers, businesses, the American public, and others. Data Source Frequency Data Storage Internal Controls Data Limitations Actions to be Taken Census Bureau censuses and surveys are the initial collection source. Internal control files and systems are the source of the response rate data. Response rates are tied to data collection. Frequency varies by survey or census. All data are stored in Census Bureau databases and are published in public press releases. Quality assurance analyses, Automated Data Processing (ADP) routines, and peer reviews. Data that are released must adhere to Title 13 requirements to protect respondents’ confidentiality. Continue quarterly reviews of performance data. Performance Measure: Release data products for key Census Bureau programs on time to support effective decision-making of policymakers, businesses, and the public Ensuring that data products are released on schedule is essential for the Census Bureau to enhance the supply of key economic and demographic data to support effective decision-making of policymakers, businesses and the American public. The Census Bureau acknowledges an important distinction between release of the Economic Indicators and the other survey and census data products. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Statistical Directive Number 3 requires that data for the principal economic indicators be released within prescribed time periods. The impact of not meeting release dates for the economic indicators is much more serious, so two separate targets are noted. Data Source Frequency Data Storage Internal Controls Data Limitations Actions to be Taken Actual data releases by Census Bureau programs. The frequency of data releases varies. Release dates are often published in advance. Data release information is stored in Census Bureau systems and public data releases. Performance data are verified by comparing actual release dates with scheduled release dates. Methodological standards for surveys are publicly reported. Data that are released must adhere to Title 13 requirements to protect respondents’ confidentiality. Continue quarterly reviews of performance data. 368 F Y 2 0 0 7 P E R F O R M A N C E A N D A C C O U N T A B I L I T Y R E P O R T
A P P E N D I x C : P e r f o r m a n c e M e a s u r e s D e f i n i t i o n s Performance Measure: Correct street features in the TIGER (geographic) database – number of counties completed to more effectively support: Census Bureau censuses and surveys, facilitate the geographic partnerships between federal, state, local and tribal governments, and support the E-Government initiative in the President’s Management Agenda Correctly locating every street in the Master Address File and Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing System (MAF/TIGER) is integral to providing geographic products and services that meet the accuracy expectations of the 2010 Census field data collection staff, the Census Bureau’s data product customers, and the needs of the U.S. Geological Survey/ The National Map. Many local and tribal governments that participated in the Census 2000 geographic partnership programs and many potential customers for MAF/TIGER geographic products indicated that they would not consider future geographic partnerships or use without substantial improvements in location accuracy. Investing in the identification and correct location of new housing units and streets or roads in small towns and rural areas will ensure uniform address and street coverage in the MAF/TIGER database and in the Census Bureau’s data products, both for the American Community Survey (ACS) and the 2010 Decennial Census. The global positioning system (GPS) alignment will not be done for some remote areas of Alaska where handheld computers will not be used for the census. Alaska officials have been informed of these plans. Data Source Frequency Data Storage Internal Controls Data Limitations Actions to be Taken MAF/TIGER activity schedule As scheduled Census Bureau MAF/TIGER database The Census Bureau compares actual completion dates with scheduled dates. None Continue quarterly reviews of performance data. Performance Measure: Complete key activities for cyclical census programs on time to support effective decision-making by policymakers, businesses, and the public and meet constitutional and legislative mandates Due to the cyclical nature of these programs, it is important to track annual key activities that support the programs. Census tracks the internal activities that are considered to be the most important in meeting the long-term goals of the cyclical census programs. Data Source Frequency Data Storage Internal Controls Data Limitations Actions to be Taken Activity schedules kept by each of the cyclical census programs. Ongoing, based on activity schedules The Census Bureau program offices maintain activity schedules and performance data. The Census Bureau compares actual completion dates with scheduled dates. Performance data are reviewed quarterly. None Continue quarterly reviews of performance data. F Y 2 0 0 7 P E R F O R M A N C E A N D A C C O U N T A B I L I T Y R E P O R T 369
