<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Earlier this month the AASHTO CTPP Oversight Board submitted a request <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">for a special tabulation of 3-year ACS tables. For those who might not <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">remember, just over a year ago the Oversight Board submitted a similar <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">request that met with some harsh disclosure and suppression rules. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">After an appeal of the rules failed, the Oversight Board set up a <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">subcommittee to develop a new request that hopefully would be more <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">favorably received by the Census Bureau's Disclosure Review Board. It <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">was believed that now that the disclosure proofing rules are known it <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">would be possible to design data tables that would yield the maximum <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">utility possible while still adhering to the rules.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">One of the major differences of the new request from last year's is that <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">modes used to go to work have been collapsed. In 2008 we were asking <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">for crosstabs using 5, 8 and 11 modes. With the 2009 request we are <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">asking for 3, 5, 6 and 10 modes. In addition to the collapsed modes the <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">number of variables crossed with "Means of Transportation to Work" has <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">been reduced from about 17 to 5. The 5 variables include travel time to <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
