x We can speed up counting without sacrificing com-
pleteness. As part of the revised plan, we will pro-
vide additional training courses and awards to cen-
sus workers to recognize the contributions of the
employees who have worked the most. We will also
keep the number of hours used on phones and tab-
lets used for population counting as much as pos-
sible.
x We will end on-site data collection by September
30, 2020. The self-response option will also close
on the same day to initiate data processing. Under
this plan, the Census Bureau is looking to maintain
similar household response levels as collected in
the previous Census, including public outreach to
communities where population counts are difficult.
x Accurate Data and Efficient Processing: After self-
response and field data collection has been entered
into our security system, we plan to review the
