Testimony of Todd J. Zinser, Inspector General, Department of Commerce, before the Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, Federal Services, and International Security, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, United States Senate Tuesday, February 23, 2010: The 2010 Census: Update of Schedule, Cost, Risk Management, and Communications Activities

  • 2010 Census: Quarterly Report to Congress, February 2010, Final Report No. OIG-19791-3: “During this period, we report that the Census Bureau experienced delays with development and
    testing of its Paper-based Operations Control System (PBOCS). This system is critical for field operations and requires swift corrective action to minimize adverse impacts on these operations. With respect to cost, we report cost inefficiencies related to address canvassing and note that Census should implement internal controls and carefully monitor similar costs during upcoming field operations. Finally, we found that the Census Bureau has finalized 4 of 13 program-level contingency plans and continues work on reviewing the remaining ones.
