built 305 days ago
Between fall 1997 and spring 1998, the Census Bureau opened 12 regional census centers (RCCs) as temporary sites near the 12 permanent regional offices, to provide additional space to manage the large Census 2000 work load. These RCCs support the address list development activities and the reviews by tribal and local governments.

Since the introduction of the CPS, the Bureau of the Census has redesigned the CPS sample several times. These redesigns have improved the quality and accuracy of the data and have satisfied changing data needs. The Census Bureau completely implemented the most recent changes in July 1995.

As discussed above, the Supreme Court will decide in its 1998-1999 term whether the Census Bureau may employ sampling techniques in conducting Census 2000. This section describes the bureau’s plan, which has not yet been approved, to reach households that do not respond to the census.

In the summer of 1995, Congress cut the budget of the Census Bureau by millions of dollars in its program to reduce federal expenditures. Bureau officials said the cuts would inhibit the bureau's ability to test new census techniques and technology that they hoped would increase the accuracy of the year 2000 census. Continuing public pressure and lawsuits over census figures could lead to new methods or new funding.

The Census Bureau will provide additional ways to be counted by advertising how one can provide their answers to 1-800 census operators, or by obtaining an unaddressed census form at walk-in community assistance centers, tribal offices, etc. Census forms will be translated and available in other languages, such as Spanish, Japanese and others.
