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 (44
U.S.C. chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Comparing Health Insurance Measurement Error (CHIME).
OMB Control Number: 0607-XXXX.
Form Number(s): No forms; respondent information collected by
telephone interview.
Type of Request: Regular submission.
Number of Respondents: 5,000 Households.
Average Hours per Response: 13 minutes.
Burden Hours: 3,028 hours.
Needs and Uses: The goal of the study is to assess measurement
error in health coverage estimates that is ascribable to the
questionnaire across the CPS and ACS health insurance modules using
administrative records as a truth source. Both ``absolute'' reporting
accuracy (the survey report compared to the administrative record data)
and ``relative'' reporting accuracy (comparing absolute accuracy across
questionnaire treatments) will be evaluated. The analysis will be used
to understand the magnitude, direction and patterns of misreporting for
three main purposes: (1) To provide Census program staff with empirical
data to develop and refine edits and/or to include research notes for
data users so they can make their own adjustments for misreporting; (2)
to equip the wider research community with information that could serve
as a guide for deciding which among the various surveys best suits
their needs; and (3) to contribute to the general survey methods
research literature on measurement error. Analysis will also inform
reporting accuracy of health coverage related to the Affordable Care
Act (ACA). Specifically, for coverage that is known to be obtained from
the marketplace, we will explore whether respondents report that
coverage, the source they cite (direct-purchase, government, etc.), and
the accuracy with which they answer a question on subsidized premiums.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, sections 141, 182
and 193.

collections currently under review by OMB.
