U.S. Census Bureau Executive Summary

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 budget request reflects the resources needed for the U.S. Census Bureau to support the Department of Commerce’s Science and Information general goal 14, “To improve understanding of the US economy, society and environment by providing timely, relevant, trusted and accurate data, standards and services enabling entities to make informed decisions.” The Census Bureau’s mission is to serve as the leading source of quality data about the Nation’s people and economy. We honor privacy, protect confidentiality, share our expertise globally, and conduct our work openly. The Census Bureau performance goals are to provide timely, relevant, and accurate current and benchmark measures of the U.S. population, economy, and governments in order to facilitate this mission. Budget and Financial Management Discretionary Domestic Spending: The Census Bureau requests appropriations for domestic discretionary spending totaling $1.0 billion. Mandatory Domestic Spending: The Census Bureau expects to receive $30.0 million in mandatory domestic spending in FY 2012 for the State Children’s Health Insurance Program and the Survey of Program Dynamics. Reimbursable Program Funding: The Census Bureau anticipates that it will receive $274.4 million in reimbursable funding from other federal and non-federal organizations to perform work for those entities. Administrative Savings The Administration is pursuing an aggressive government-wide effort to curb non-essential administrative spending called the Administrative Efficiency Initiative. In order to be good stewards of taxpayer money the Federal Government should continue to seek ways to improve the efficiency of programs without reducing their effectiveness. As such, the President directed each agency to analyze its administrative costs and identify savings where possible. After reviewing its administrative costs, the Census Bureau has identified $20,000,000 in administrative savings, of which $991,000 is savings identified through the Department’s Working Capital Fund (see the Departmental Management Working Capital Fund section for more details). The Census Bureau has targeted a number of areas to achieve its savings. Acquisition plans for FY 2012 account for $9,920,000 in savings. In the area of human capital, the Census Bureau expects to reduce its costs by $6,397,000 through position management and control and reduced workers compensation costs. Another $1,357,000 in administrative savings has been identified in logistics plans and in general administrative support by limiting discretionary travel and printing. The Census Bureau has also identified $1,335,000 in savings tied to IT related items, through the closing of a data center established for the 2010 Census ahead of schedule. The $20,000,000 in administrative savings identified above represent real reductions to the Census Bureau’s funding level and will help reduce overall spending by the Federal government.

FY 2012 Program Changes The requested funding reflects the resources needed to implement program enhancements and cyclical changes in operational requirements between FY 2011 and FY 2012 for the 2010 Census, the Economic Census, and the Census of Governments. It also includes program increases to revitalize Government Statistics, to begin research and testing for the 2020 Census, and a planned decrease in the Survey of Income and Program Participation. • American Community Survey (ACS) (Base Funding 2,544 FTE and $247.5 million; Program Change

122 FTE and $5.2 million): Fiscal Year 2012 funds will continue the implementation of the ACS at a fully expanded sample size of 3.5 million housing units, including data quality improvement activities. This program change reflects a decrease of $3.7 million and 8 FTE for administrative savings

• Economic Census (Base Funding 601 FTE and $113.5 million; Program Change 61 FTE and $10.8

million): The Census Bureau conducts the economic census every five years. It is integral to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimates of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and industry inputs and outputs. It provides decision-makers with comprehensive, detailed, and authoritative facts about the structure and functioning of the U.S. economy. It is the foundation of the nation’s economic statistics programs, providing core information on virtually all non-farm businesses and related data on business expenditures, commodity flows, minority and women-owned businesses, and other topics. Fiscal Year 2012 is the third year of the six-year 2012 Economic Census funding cycle. The focus of activity for FY 2012 is the development of the collection instruments and processing systems to be used in the 2012 Economic Census. Specific activities include outreach with over 1,500 of the largest companies about the census, development and creation of electronic tools and the Business Help Site to service respondent needs, conduct of a classification mailing in preparation of the census mail list, creation of the mail frame through the processing of 100+ million administrative records, printing of millions of report forms, and development of the processing systems to be used in the 2012 Economic Census. This program change reflects a decrease of $1.9 million and 4 FTE reflecting administrative savings.

• 2020 Decennial Census program (Base Funding 0 FTE and $0; Program Change 284 FTE and $67.0

million): Fiscal Year 2012 is the first year of a three-year research and testing phase of the 2020 Census. The request for FY 2012 will be used to initiate the research and testing phase for the 2020 Census. The FY 2012 key program activities lay the foundation for managing and testing new decennial census systems and methods. Consequently, the 2020 Census program management, systems engineering, and research and testing efforts in FY 2012 center on:

• Finalizing critical plans for ensuring integrated and effective management of the 2020 Census

program, such as risk management; • Completing systems engineering activities for laying the foundation to development standards

and methods as well as beginning architectural development, placing the IT infrastructure for the 2020 Census within the Census Bureau’s architecture;

• Developing qualitative and field test plans for operationalizing and assessing the research agenda;

• Developing study plans and conducting qualitative tests for evaluating response options, including electronic modes;

• Developing administrative records research plans and supporting alternative systems to focus on decennial needs;

• Benchmarking the integrated IT infrastructure and field automation logic and high-level requirements for early prototyping; and

CEN-4

Page 8

• Developing study plans and concept models for measuring the error in the Master Address File in support of the Geographic Support program.

This program change reflects a decrease of $2.3 million and 12 FTE representing administrative savings.

• Census of Governments (Base Funding 61 FTE and $8.2 million; Program Change 17 FTE and $2.3

million): The Census Bureau conducts a census of governments every five years. Like the Economic Census, it is integral to the BEA’s estimates of GDP. It is the only source of comprehensive and uniformly classified data on the economic activities of more than 90,000 state and local governments, which account for about 12 percent of GDP and nearly 16 percent of the U.S. workforce. The 2012 Census of Governments consists of three components: government organization, public employment, and government finances. Fiscal Year 2012 funding is requested primarily for data collection and processing in the organization component; data preparation and initiation of data collection and processing in the employment component; and the preparation for and start of data collection and processing in the finance component. Key objectives of the FY 2012 work are the identification of the universe, collection of data about the universe characteristics, and the start of employment and finance data collection.

This program change reflects a decrease of $0.4 million representing administrative savings.

• Revitalize Government Statistics (Base Funding 10 FTE and $1.2 million; Program Change 19 FTE

and $2.9 million): The Census Bureau requests an increase to revitalize the Government Statistics program by developing new methodologies for measuring revenues, expenditures, and financial assets for publicly sponsored defined contribution pension plans and for measuring costs and liabilities for other post-employment benefits (OPEB) (e.g. health insurance) for public employees. Little information exists on the full scale of unfunded liabilities associated with public pensions and OPEBs, nor are there comprehensive official statistics on these data. Developing new collection efforts in this area will provide public policymakers with a new data source in which to assess trillions in estimated liabilities of state and local governments.

• Current Population Survey (Base Funding 110 FTE and $11.6 million; Program Change 36 FTE and

$5 million): The Census Bureau proposes an increase of $5 million to support the development of a supplemental statistical poverty measure from the Current Population Survey to complement the current official measure. The initiative will work in conjunction with a complementary initiative being proposed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A more comprehensive supplemental measure of poverty will enhance analysts’ and policymakers’ perspectives on modeling changes to their programs and improving the evaluation of the effectiveness of programs for the disadvantaged.

• Enhancing the Federal Statistical System’s Ability to Use Administrative Records (Base Funding 0

FTE and $0; Program Change 40 FTE and $9.0 million): This program initiative will allow us to enhance the ability of the Federal statistical system to utilize administrative records. We will expand the Census Bureau’s administrative records infrastructure to support various cross-cutting administrative records initiatives, including a 2010 Census simulation and a health pilot project involving the National Center for Health Statistics. The Economic Research Service (ERS) will also partner with researchers to analyze food security issues and program participation using relevant state-level administrative data. The Census Bureau shares an interest in these issues, which will improve our understanding of Title 13 nutrition assistance survey data, and may enhance the Supplemental Poverty Measure. The ERS proposes several projects using linked administrative data. These pilot projects are designed to address existing barriers to more complete use of administrative data while at the same time contributing substantive topical knowledge in critical fields.

CEN-5

Page 9

• Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) (Base Funding 519 FTE and $51.4 million;

Program Change -34 FTE and -$1.0 million): The Census Bureau requests a decrease to reflect the completion of the Event History Calendar field tests. The remaining funding will allow the Census Bureau to continue collecting SIPP at the full sample size, and continue the reengineering process.

2010 Decennial Census program (except ACS – see description above) (Base Funding 3,028 FTE and $469.1 million; Program Change -2,238 FTE and -$290.9 million): As mandated in the U.S. Constitution, the decennial census provides the official population counts for determining the allocation to states of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, and for determining how the districts are defined for those seats. The program also provides data for small geographic areas and population groups that federal agencies need to implement legally mandated programs. In FY 2012, activities will focus on continuing the evaluations, assessments, and experiments related to 2010 Census operations; conducting the Count Question Resolution Program; developing and disseminating the 2010 Census data products; working to archive response data and questionnaire images; conducting ongoing maintenance and support of the Data Access and Dissemination System (DADS), including continued incremental implementation of the DADS II system; and conducting closeout activities of 2010 Census contracts. This program change reflects a decrease of $6.1 million and 36 FTE representing administrative savings.

Program Terminations and Reductions In order to fund higher priority programs within the Census Bureau and the Department of Commerce, the FY 2012 request includes the following terminations and reductions, which are described in greater detail in the budget submission. • Terminate Current Industrial Reports – a decrease of $4.0 million (-35 FTE)

• Reduce Demographic Surveys Sample Redesign – a decrease of $1.5 million (-9 FTE)

• Terminate Foreign Research and Analyses – a decrease of $1.5 million (-12 FTE) • Terminate Federal Financial Statistics – a decrease of $0.7 millon (-6 FTE)

• Reduce Data Processing Systems – a decrease of $1.7 million (-0 FTE)

• Reduce Measuring E-business – a decrease of $1.5 million (-0 FTE)

• Terminate Statistical Abstract – a decrease of $2.9 million (-24 FTE)

• Terminate Demographic Call Center – a decrease of $0.9 million (-5 FTE)

• Terminate Population Distributions – a decrease of $1.2 million (-6 FTE)

Other Program Highlights The Census Bureau programs described below provide important data about the Nation’s population and economy on an ongoing basis. Wherever possible, the Census Bureau seeks to improve the functioning of these programs within existing funds. Economic Programs Highlights/Overview • Current economic statistics (amount includes program change described above) –

1,252 FTE and $184.6 million: More than 100 annual, quarterly, and monthly surveys provide key national economic statistics on a current basis, including business, construction, manufacturing, federal expenditures, and general economic statistics. The Census Bureau’s trade statistics collection program provides the closely watched monthly trade numbers. Federal agencies, like the Federal Reserve Board and the BEA and other stakeholders, are major users of these data. These data also are used to develop the GDP, production indices, and economic projections. These data allow users to gauge competition, calculate market share, prepare operating ratios, and analyze changes in the Nation’s economic structure. This funding level reflects administrative savings of $0.4 million and 4 FTE.

Demographic Programs Highlights/Overview • Current demographic statistics (amount includes program change described above) –

712 FTE and $78.5 million: The current demographic statistics programs collect demographic information on diverse topics such as income and poverty, health insurance coverage, housing, voting, families, and childcare. This funding level reflects administrative savings of $0.2 million and 2 FTE. Intercensal demographic estimates – 71 FTE and $10.1 million: The intercensal demographic estimates program provides decision-makers with annual population estimates for states, counties, cities, and towns in the years between decennial censuses. Annually, hundreds of billions in federal funds are distributed based on these estimates. The requested funding level includes no program changes for FY 2012. This funding level reflects administrative savings of $0.5 million.

• Demographic surveys sample redesign (amount includes program change described

above) – 62 FTE and $9.9 million: The demographic surveys sample redesign activity updates the samples for the major recurring household surveys to reflect America’s mobile population and complex socioeconomic environment. Fiscal Year 2012 funding is requested to continue efforts to focus on shifting the demographic surveys sample redesign towards using a continually updated Master Address File and American Community Survey data to select household survey samples, rather than relying on the once-a-decade availability of decennial census data. This funding total reflects administrative savings of $0.4 million.

CEN-7

Page 11

Mandatory Demographic Programs: The following mandatory funding for demographic programs is anticipated in FY 2012: • Survey of program dynamics – 57 FTE and $10.0 million:

This program provides socioeconomic data and information, which can be used by federal and state public policymakers to evaluate the effects of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 that established the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program.

• State children’s health insurance program – 217 FTE and $20.0 million: This program provides statistically reliable annual data for each state on the number of low-income children who do not have health insurance coverage. These data are used to allocate funds to states.

Other Census Bureau Programs - Highlights/Overview There are several other Census Bureau programs that do not fall within either the demographic or economic areas. These programs are highlighted below. • Survey development and data services (amount includes program change described

above) – 47 FTE and $11.6 million: The survey development and data services program funds research into survey design and estimation, time series analysis, error reduction, privacy protection, and special experimental and evaluation studies. These activities continually improve the Census Bureau’s survey and census activities and provide statistical information to the public. This funding total reflects administrative savings of $26 thousand.

• Geographic support – 361 FTE and $67.7 million: The Census Bureau has developed the computer-based Geographic Support System, which integrates large volumes of information from many external sources to establish and maintain accurate geographic boundaries, address ranges, and other map information. These data are stored in an address list and associated geographic databases. This information must be updated on a regular basis to meet the needs of the economic census, the current demographic statistics programs, and the intercensal demographic estimates program. This funding total reflects administrative savings of $1.4 million and 1 FTE.

• Data processing systems (amount includes program change described above) – 0 FTE and $32.4 million: The data processing systems activity funds information technology services supporting Census Bureau enterprise needs. Economies of scale are achieved through centralized information technology contracts and services in accordance with Department of Commerce guidelines and a comprehensive Information Technology Plan. This saves taxpayers money, while helping the Census Bureau to accomplish its mission. This funding total reflects administrative savings of $1.7 million.

Reimbursable Programs The Census Bureau also conducts work on a reimbursable funding basis for other federal agencies, such as the collection of labor force and consumer expenditure data for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, data on experience of crime for the Department of Justice, education data for the Department of Education,

Section 4 Priorities and Management Challenges The FY 2012 request reflects the following Census Bureau priorities/objectives: • To meet constitutional and legislative mandates by implementing a reengineered 2010 Decennial Census Program designed to take advantage of opportunities for innovations made possible through the expanded use of technology, major changes in the business process for data collection, and the use of focused coverage improvement procedures. • To make fundamental changes to the design, implementation, and management of the decennial census to meet the following goals of the 2020 Census: 1) a complete and accurate census, 2) embraced and valued results, 3) an efficient census, and 4) a well-managed census. • To meet the needs of policymakers, businesses, non-profit organizations, and the public for current measures of the U.S. population, economy, and governments. • To support the economic and political foundations of the U.S. by producing benchmark measures of the economy and population for the administration and equitable funding of Federal, state, and local programs. • To support innovation, promote data use, minimize respondent burden, respect individual privacy, and ensure confidentiality. The Census Bureau faces a number of key challenges in continuing to provide timely, reliable, and confidential data about the economy and population of the United States. The following challenges are viewed as among the most significant because of their importance to the Census Bureau mission: Privacy and Confidentiality Concerns: Public perception of both government and non-government intrusion into personal and business information privacy is increasingly negative. As technology provides greater abilities to collect, process, and disseminate data, it also presents greater challenges to protect data from improper access and use. Any concerns about privacy of information in the Internet age, confidentiality of information provided to the government, and intrusiveness of government programs are challenges to the Census Bureau in collecting personal information in its surveys and censuses. The Economy: Measuring the ever-evolving and rapidly changing economy is becoming increasingly difficult as firms adopt new organizational structures and relationships, embrace new ways of doing business, and streamline their internal and external processes. These changes often alter traditional record keeping practices, posing additional data collection challenges.

Exhibit 3A

Funding Constraints: Demands on the federal budget during the next few years will be substantial. The Census Bureau’s challenge will be to demonstrate the critical importance of accurate information to the government, the economy, and the public, in light of this fiscal environment. Workforce and Workplace Management: Many Census Bureau employees are eligible for early or regular retirement. Recruiting, developing, and retaining the next generation of employees will require planning to ensure that specialized technical and managerial knowledge, as well as the Census Bureau’s corporate culture, values, and institutional knowledge, are transferred.
