We will conduct this study of the
State and Local government construction activities on a one time
basis. The Census Bureau will use the information collected for
evaluation purposes and survey improvement through the correction
of the State and local construction VIP estimate by the estimated
coverage rate. The consequence for not conducting an undercoverage
evaluation will be that the Census Bureau will produce less
accurate estimates for the State and local government construction
VIP.
