Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Spatial, Address, and Imagery Data Program
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on Friday, July 29, 2021 during a 60-day comment
period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Commerce.
Title: Spatial, Address, and Imagery Data Program.
OMB Control Number: 0607-1008.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission, Request for an Extension of a
Currently Approved Collection.
Number of Respondents: 1,500 (500/year).
Average Hours per Response: 2.5 hours.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 3,750 (1,250/year). Please note, this
figure was miscalculated in the 60-day Federal Register Notice. It has
been corrected in this notice.
Needs and Uses: The Spatial, Address, and Imagery Data (SAID)
Program is a voluntary geographic partnership programs that collects
data to update and maintain the U.S. Census Bureau's geographic
database of addresses, streets, and imagery known as the Master Address
File/Topologically Integrated Geocoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER)
System. The MAF/TIGER System is vital for the Census Bureau's data
collection, processing, tabulation, and dissemination programs for the
United States and Puerto Rico.
The geographic framework within the MAF/TIGER System enables the
Census Bureau field personnel to navigate to the appropriate locations
for data collection. It enables the Census Bureau to define geographic
boundaries, including census blocks, and accurately link demographic
data from surveys and the decennial census to census blocks, locations,
and areas, such as counties, cities, and school districts for data
tabulation and dissemination.
The SAID Program supports the Census Bureau's ongoing demographic
surveys and 2030 Census planning efforts by continuing to improve
address coverage, collect and update street centerlines, and enhance
the overall quality and integrity of the MAF/TIGER System after major
Census update programs have concluded. The SAID Program provides the
Census Bureau with a continuous method to obtain current, accurate, and
complete address, street centerline, and imagery data.
Since its inception, the SAID Program has allowed the Census Bureau
to update addresses and street centerlines across the country, with
participation covering nearly 89 percent of the housing units in the
nation. Moving forward, the SAID Program will
[[Page 63333]]
continue to acquire addresses, street centerlines, and imagery in areas
targeted for housing unit growth or change to continue updating and
improving the MAF/TIGER System.
The SAID Program follows the process below:
<bullet> The Census Bureau invites partners in targeted areas each
fiscal year, including tribal, state, county, and local governments;
federal agencies; and other authoritative organizations.
<bullet> Partners are asked to provide a current address list with
associated location points and attributes, a street centerline file,
and/or imagery data for their jurisdiction that is no more than two
years old.
<bullet> Partners upload the requested data files using the Secure
Web Incoming Module (SWIM), deliver large imagery datasets on hard
drives, or the Census Bureau acquires the files/data though direct
download.
<bullet> The Census Bureau validates, then updates the MAF/TIGER
System with the address and street centerline data provided by partners
and uses the provided imagery for quality control and change detection.
<bullet> The Census Bureau uses these updated addresses, streets,
and imagery to support Census Bureau field operations, decennial census
operations, ongoing demographic survey response collection, and data
tabulation.
<bullet> The Census Bureau provides partners feedback regarding the
data they supplied, including an appropriate thank you letter and a
detailed, non-Title 13 address report and/or TIGER/Line shapefile.
Affected Public: Tribal, state, county, and local governments and
organizations as well as other federal agencies.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 16, 141, and 193.
