Today, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs marked up S. 3167, Census Oversight Efficiency and Management Reform Act of 2010. The bill was introduced by Senators Carper (D-DE) and Coburn (R-OK) both members of the Committee. More information about the bill, as introduced, is available here.
This is the bill that would change the Census Bureau Director's position to a five-year term instead of the current at-will appointment.
Key Provisions of the Legislation Include:
Gives the Director the independence to report directly to the Secretary without being required to report through any other official at the Commerce Department.
Increases the independence of the Director by allowing the Director to submit his or her own opinion in testimony to Congress even if it differs from the administration.
Makes the Director of the Census Bureau a Presidential term appointment of five years, with the 10 year decennial cycle split into two, five-year phases - planning and operational, creating continuity across administrations.
Gives the Director authority over all personnel and activities in the exercise of all powers and duties of the Bureau.
Gives the Director the authority to establish advisory committees to provide advice with respect to any function of the Director.
Requires that the Census Director provide budget information to Congress, at the time the Director submits a budget request to the Commerce Secretary to be included in the President's budget request, prior to the Commerce Department's budget request submission to OMB, increasing transparency and oversight.
Requires the Director to submit to Congress a comprehensive annual report on the next decennial census, with a description of the Bureau's performance standards and a risk-assessment of each significant decennial operation.

Rule of Thumb
From James J. Hill Reference Library:
Per the website, "A rule of thumb is a homemade recipe for making a guess. It is an easy-to-remember guide that falls somewhere between a mathematical formula and a shot in the dark. Rules of thumb are a kind of tool. They help you appraise a problem or situation."
Rulesofthumb.org aims to be "the Google of guesswork" - a place to help people make an educated guess on a particular problem at hand, whatever it may be.

DOOR-TO-DOOR NONRESPONSE FOLLOW-UP BEGINS MAY 1ST
Census urges cooperation with enumerators to ensure everyone is counted
New York, NY – Beginning May 1, more than 600,000 Census takers, commonly referred to as enumerators, will knock on doors in communities across the United States, signaling the launch of the Nonresponse Follow-up operation (NRFU). NRFU operation tasks enumerators with visiting households that did not mail back their 2010 Census form to make sure everyone is counted once and in the right place. The U.S. Census Bureau is conducting this important operation to ensure that the 2010 Census is complete and accurate.
Enumerators are temporary workers hired from the local community by the U.S. Census Bureau. The census taker will have an ID badge with the Bureau of the Census seal, and may also be carrying a bag with “U.S. Census Bureau” on it. If asked, he or she will provide you with supervisor contact information and/or the Local Census Office phone number for verification.
Census takers will visit homes to ask the same ten questions that were included in the mailed out questionnaire. They will not ask respondents about immigration or citizenship status, Social Security numbers, or bank accounts and any financial information. They will not solicit any monetary contribution.
“Nonresponse follow-up is critical to achieving an accurate census,” says Lester A. Farthing, the U.S. Census Bureau’s New York regional director. “If an enumerator knocks on your door, please cooperate and answer ten simple questions so that your community can receive its fair share of federal funding and be fairly represented in government.”
Census takers will visit each address up to three times and may try to telephone up to three times. If a resident does not answer, the census taker will leave a door hanger with a number the resident can call to schedule an interview time. If contact is made by phone, the census worker will conduct the interview with the household member.
All personal information given to census takers is kept confidential and is protected by strict privacy laws. Census employees are sworn for life to protect personally identifiable information and face penalties of up to five years in prison, a fine up to $250,000 or both for disclosure. The Census Bureau is prohibited by law from sharing personal information with any other government agency or law enforcement.
Nonresponse follow-up operations will continue until July 10. For more information on Census takers and NRFU operations, visit 2010census.gov.

USA TODAY: 2010 Census Participation Rate hits 71%
“The percentage of households that have mailed back their Census forms could top the 2000 response rate — a major accomplishment in the face of growing suspicion of government, swelling population and increased diversity. The participation rate hit 71% Tuesday, just one point below the 2000 Census rate.” -- USA TODAY, Wednesday, April 21, 2010
The Census folks add:
America can be very proud of its participation in the 2010 Census. 71% is not the final mailback participation rate. The participation by more than 7 in 10 households will help save money and make the upcoming door-to-door count easier to complete.
You can continue to check the participation for the nation, your state and community.
Please read the Director’s Blog thanking 2010 Census partners for their support.

Advocates recommend moving census online
By Mike Chalmers
The News Journal (Delaware) (April 19, 2010)
Want to pay the electric bill online? There's a website for that.
Buy a swimsuit? Get the news? Book a hotel? Stay in touch with friends? Pay your taxes? There are websites for those, too.
But fill out your census form online?
Forget it. Time for pencil, paper and snail mail, the same way it's been done since 1960 and not too different from the way George Washington was counted in the first census in 1790.
In an increasingly online world, a paper-based census seems like an inefficient, costly and wasteful anachronism that should have been replaced by now.
The website unofficialcensus.org, which asks the same 10 questions as the real census, was launched last month to push for an online form by showing how simple it could be.
More HERE.
***
I noticed that the one thing the Unofficial Census doesn’t ask that the real Census does (besides phone number, which it doesn't need) is the relationship of the people on the form. This is a HUGE issue, especially when dealing with genealogy in 72 years, when the information will be made available.

Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
From HillSearch.org
Government resources sometimes prove extraordinarily useful, and we enjoy sharing positive examples of your tax dollar at work.
This new site from the FFIEC allows you to look up individual FDIC-insured institutions' Uniform Bank Performance Reports and Reports of Condition and Income (Call Reports), or download the available data in quantity.
You can also look to see how that bank performs in comparison to its peer group in different benchmarks, such as types of loans issued, balance sheet, summary ratios, and more.
While these reports have long been available publicly in one form or another, the new data center makes it much easier to search, access, and manipulate the information available - perfect for those researching the financial services industry as a whole, or needing in-depth details on the activities and financial "health" of an individual bank.
