    During the years preceding the 2020 Census, the Census Bureau is 
pursuing its commitment to reducing the cost of conducting the census 
while maintaining the quality of the results. The 2018 End-to-End 
Census Test is the last major test before the 2020 Census and will 
validate that the 2020 Census design is ready for production from a 
system, operational and architectural perspective. The Address 
Canvassing operation is the first operation in the 2018 End-to-End 
Census Test, with field activity beginning in the summer of 2017. The 
purpose of the Address Canvassing operation is (1) to deliver a 
complete and accurate address list and spatial database for enumeration 
and tabulation, and (2) to determine the type and address 
characteristics for each living quarter. The Address Canvassing 
operation consists of two major components: In-Office Address 
Canvassing and In-Field Address Canvassing. Only the latter component 
involves collection of information from residents at their living 
quarters.
    The following objectives are crucial to a successful Address 
Canvassing operation:
     Test the listing and mapping capabilities required by In-
Field Address Canvassing
     Validate the creation of In-Field Address Canvassing 
workload by In-Office Address Canvassing.
     Conduct a listing quality control operation during In-
Field Address Canvassing.
    The results of this test will inform the Census Bureau's final 
preparations for the Address Canvassing Operation in advance of the 
2020 Census.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, Sections 141 and 
193.

collections currently under review by OMB.
