In support of the Census Bureaus
goals, the 2010 Coverage Followup (CFU) Telephone Operation will
serve to clarify initial enumeration responses in an effort to
improve within household coverage by identifying erroneous
enumerations and omissions. The CFU Telephone Operation, which will
be conducted April 26, 2010 through August 13, 2010, will be
administered through computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI).
Approximately 8.01 million households will be included in the 2010
CFU telephone universe. When anyone is identified as potentially
counted or omitted in error, we then ask questions to establish the
appropriate census residence of that person according to the
residence rules in effect for the 2010 Census.
This was a new data collection
effort in 2008, and is being reinstated for 2010 to accommodate a
larger workload due to a wider application of the operation.
