DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Spatial, Address, and Imagery Data Program (SAID).
OMB Control Number: 0607-XXXX.
Form Number(s): N/A.
Type of Request: Regular submission.
Needs and Uses: The Spatial, Address, and Imagery Data (SAID)
Program, formerly known as the Geographic Support System Partnership
Program, is one of seven voluntary geographic partnership programs that
collect data to update the U.S. Census Bureau's geographic database of
addresses, streets, boundaries, and imagery known as the Master Address
File/Topologically Integrated Geocoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER)
System.
The data within the MAF/TIGER System supports the Census Bureau's
geographic framework for data collection, tabulation and dissemination.
This framework enables the Census Bureau field personnel to navigate to
the appropriate locations for data collection, and it enables the
Census Bureau to accurately link demographic data from surveys and the
decennial census to locations and areas, such as cities, school
districts, and counties for data tabulation and dissemination.
The data collected in the SAID Program is also used to define
geographic boundaries, including census blocks, and to place households
and group quarters in a specific census block. The SAID Program follows
the process below:
1. The Census Bureau invites participants, including tribal, state,
county, and local governments; federal agencies; and other
organizations each fiscal year.
2. Participants provide a current address data with associated
location points and attributes, spatial data, and/or imagery that is no
more than two years old.
3. Participants upload the requested data files to a Census Bureau
Secure File Transfer Protocol site, per Census Bureau procedures, or
provide a media from which the data can be acquired.
4. The Census Bureau updates the MAF/TIGER System with the address
and street centerline data provided by the participants and uses the
provided imagery for quality control and change detection.
5. The Census Bureau uses these updated addresses, streets, and
imagery to support Census Bureau field operations, surveys, and data
tabulation.
The SAID Program provides the Census Bureau with a continuous
method to obtain current, accurate, and complete address, spatial, and
imagery data. The SAID Program helps the Census Bureau maintain its
geographic framework for data collection, tabulation, and dissemination
between decennial censuses and to support ongoing programs, such as the
American Community Survey and the Population Estimates Program. Over
the past six years, the SAID Program, under the name of the Geographic
Support System Partnership Program, has enabled the Census Bureau to
update addresses and street centerlines across the country, with
participation covering nearly 94 percent of the housing units in the
nation. Moving forward, the SAID Program will continue to focus on
acquiring addresses, street centerlines, and imagery in targeted areas.
The Geographic Support System Partnership Program was previously
included in the Geographic Partnership Program Generic Clearance (OMB
Control Number 0607-0795).
Affected Public: Tribal, state, county, and local governments and
organizations.
