SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Bureau of the Census
(Census Bureau) is requesting public
comment on the proposed procedures
for developing the specific components
of an address list review program,
known as the Local Update of Census
Addresses (LUCA) program. The Census
Bureau will use the LUCA program to
help develop the housing unit and
group quarters (e.g., college dormitory,
nursing home, correctional facility, etc.)
address information that it will need to
conduct the 2010 Decennial Census.
The program will be available to tribal,
state, and local governments, and the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico (or
their designated representatives), in
areas for which the Census Bureau
performs a precensus address
canvassing operation (excluded are
sparsely settled areas in the states of
The Census Address List Improvement
Act of 1994
The Census Address List
Improvement Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–
430, Oct 31, 1994, 108 Stat. 4393)
mandates the procedures to be used by
the Census Bureau for developing the
decennial census address list, and
address lists for other censuses and
surveys conducted by the Census
Bureau. The Act’s provisions direct the
Secretary of Commerce to: (1) Publish
standards defining the content and
structure of address information that
tribal, state, and local governments may
submit to be used for developing a
national address list; (2) develop and
publish a timetable for the Census
Bureau to receive, review, and respond
to submissions; and (3) provide a
response to the submissions regarding
substantial number of small entities.
The major factors considered for this
certification were:
1. If approved, the action may result
in additional reporting, recordkeeping
or other compliance requirements for
small entities.
2. If approved, the action may result
in authorizing small entities to furnish
the services to the Government.
3. There are no known regulatory
alternatives which would accomplish
the objectives of the Javits–Wagner–
O’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in
connection with the services proposed
for deletion from the Procurement List.

the Census Bureau’s determination for
each address. The Act provides that
OMB’s Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
acting through the Chief Statistician and
in consultation with the Bureau of the
Census, shall develop an appeals
process for tribal, state, and local
governments to appeal determinations
of the Census Bureau. The Act also
directs the U.S. Postal Service to
provide the Secretary of Commerce with
address information, as may be
determined by the Secretary to be
appropriate for use by the Census
Bureau.
The Act authorizes the Census Bureau
to provide designated officials of tribal,
state, and local governments (who agree
to pledges and conditions of
confidentiality) with access to census
addresses information. Prior to Census
2000, the Census Bureau was limited to
providing block summary totals of
addresses to tribal, state, and local
governments. Census 2000 marked the
first decennial census where tribal and
local governments, which signed the
required confidentiality agreement,
were able to review the census address
list.
The 2010 Census LUCA Program
Process
The Census Bureau is using the 2010
Census LUCA program to help develop
the address information it needs to
conduct the 2010 Census. The 2010
Census LUCA program is available to
tribal, state, and local governments (or
their designated representatives) in
areas for which the Census Bureau is
developing its address list in advance of
the 2010 Census. Jurisdictions or parts
of jurisdictions with special
enumeration needs are not eligible to
receive 2010 Census LUCA materials.
These areas may include remote,
sparsely populated areas, and/or resort
areas.
Beginning in January 2007, the
Census Bureau mailed pre-invitation
letters and LUCA information booklets
(called the Advance Notification
package) to tribal, state, and local
governments eligible to participate in
the nationwide 2010 Census LUCA
program. The purpose of the Advance
Notification package is to provide tribal,
state, and local governments with
samples of the LUCA program materials
and lead-time to begin planning their
strategy for participation in the 2010
Census LUCA program. In August 2007,
the Census Bureau plans to mail the
LUCA invitation letters and registration
materials to tribal, state, and local
governments, formally inviting them to
participate in the 2010 Census LUCA

program. The Census Bureau plans a
telephone follow-up to non-responding
governments, followed by a final
reminder/closeout letter in November
2007 to all non-responding
governments.
The 2010 Census LUCA program
differs from the Census 2000 LUCA
program. One notable change is that, for
the first time, states will be invited to
participate and review the Census
Bureau’s address list for the entire state
(with the exception noted in the next
paragraph), selected substate areas, and
selected address types. When conflicts
arise between the geographic
assignment and depiction of the same
address from different levels of
government, the Census Bureau will
attempt to validate the most local level
of government’s version of the address.
Another change from Census 2000
LUCA concerns the suppression from
the state and local LUCA address list of
all addresses contained within the
boundary of any American Indian
reservation or off-reservation trust land
recognized by the federal government.
These addresses appear only on LUCA
materials provided to participating
tribal governments. This is in keeping
with the Census Bureau’s recognition of
the unique government-to-government
relationship between the federal
government and federally-recognized
tribal governments. The Census Bureau
encourages tribal governments to
coordinate their work with non-tribal
governments in overlapping areas, to
ensure that all addresses are identified
for census purposes. If a tribal
government chooses not to participate
in the LUCA program, the Census
Bureau encourages the tribe to delegate
authority to review the address list to a
state, county, or local government.
Using information gathered from
various surveys and evaluations of the
Census 2000 LUCA program, the Census
Bureau has streamlined the 2010 Census
LUCA program. For the 2010 Census
LUCA program, all eligible LUCA
participants will review their entire
address list at one time, instead of in
phases based on address type as was
done for the Census 2000 LUCA
program. Each tribal, state, and local
government that participates in the 2010
Census LUCA program will have 120
calendar days, from the time it receives
its materials, to conduct its review of
the census address list and maps.
Tribal, state, and local governments
will be required to return their
completed registration package to the
Census Bureau, postmarked by
November 19, 2007, to be eligible for the
full 120-day review period. The last date
that the Census Bureau will accept 2010

Census LUCA registration packages
from tribal, state, and local governments
is December 31, 2007. Participants who
register late will have a shorter review
period. The latest date will be April 4,
2008 (receipt date), for which LUCA
participants can return their submission
to the Census Bureau in order for the
Census Bureau to review and process
the submission in time for the
nationwide Address Canvassing
Operation.
For the 2010 Census LUCA program,
participants can choose from one of
three options described below.1
Participants will receive review
materials in either paper or computerreadable formats, or may use Census
Bureau-supplied software to update
their jurisdiction’s map features and
address list. Jurisdictions with more
than 6,000 addresses will be required to
participate using a computer-readable
address list.
A nationwide field check, called the
Address Canvassing Operation, is
planned for February 2009 through June
2009 to verify the census address list,
including the qualifying updates
supplied by 2010 Census LUCA
participants. During this operation,
Census Bureau field staff will add,
delete, and correct entries on the census
address list and make needed
corrections to the census maps. Census
Bureau LUCA feedback to LUCA
participants will be based on the results
of Address Canvassing.
Section 3 of the Census Address List
Improvement Act of 1994 requires the
Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), in consultation with the Census
Bureau, to develop an Appeal process
outside DOC to resolve any
disagreements that may remain after
participating governments receive the
Census Bureau’s Detailed Feedback/
Final Determination materials. The
Census Bureau and OMB will jointly
publish, at a later date, a separate
Federal Register Notice describing the
Appeal process.
Described below are the three
participation options for the 2010
Census LUCA program.
Option 1—Title 13 Full Address List
Review
The Full Address List Review option
will require that the participant sign the
Confidentiality Agreement in
accordance with Title 13, United States
Code. Jurisdictions selecting this option
1 Puerto Rico participants will be restricted to
Option 1 because of address matching complexities
unique to Puerto Rico.

should first determine that they have
the time and resources to review and
comment on the 2010 Census LUCA
Address List. This option is also the
only option that governments can
choose if their jurisdiction contains only
noncity-style addresses (e.g., rural
route/box number, post office box,
general delivery, descriptive addresses),
because it is the only option that allows
the participant to challenge the count of
addresses in a census block, as
described below.
The Full Address List Review
participants will receive the 2010
Census Address List, the Address Count
List (a count of addresses within each
census block), and maps or digital shape
files of their jurisdiction. Participants
who select this option must have the
means to secure the census address list
and maps or shapefiles containing
confidential Title 13 information, as
described in the 2010 LUCA Security
Guidelines, which will be included in
the invitation package to be shipped to
all eligible governments in August 2007.
The 2010 Census Address List and the
Address Count List will be available as
a paper or computer-readable product.
The Census Bureau maps will be
available in paper format for tribal and
local governments (not state), or shape
files for use in their Geographic
Information System (GIS). Alternatively,
the participant may choose to use the
Census Bureau-supplied software that
combines the census address list and
shape files within an easy-to-use GIS
tool. Details regarding this software are
contained within the promotional
materials that eligible tribal, state, and
local governments have been sent and
will also be covered in the training
workshops to be held in summer/fall of
2007.
Although the 2010 Census Address
List will contain city-style (house
number and street name, used for mail
delivery or E–911) as well as noncitystyle addresses, participants can only
add and/or provide updates (including
deletions) for city-style addresses. Each
address added by a participant must be
‘‘geocoded,’’ that is, associated with a
census tract and census block number
identifying its location. The census tract
and census block numbers appear on
the Census Bureau-supplied maps,
digital shape files, and the Census
Bureau-supplied GIS software tool.
The Census Bureau limits address
updates to city-style addresses because
noncity-style addresses are not usually
locational and are subject to change.
However, participants may challenge
the address count for a census block on
the Address Count List regardless of the
type of addresses it contains.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Participants do this by providing what
they believe is the correct number of
addresses for the census block.
Participants cannot provide both
updates for individual addresses on the
2010 Census Address List and challenge
the count of addresses on the Address
Count List for the same census block.
As is true for all three options, the
LUCA participant may make updates
and/or corrections to the features and
boundaries on the Census Bureau maps
(with one exception: State participants
cannot update boundaries unless they
are the designated reviewer for a county,
township, city, town, or reservation).
The Census Bureau maps will be
available to participants in paper
format, or as digital shape files for use
in their GIS. Alternatively, participants
may choose to use the Census Bureausupplied software that combines the
Address List, the Address Count List,
and shape files within an easy-to-use
GIS tool.
A nationwide field check, called the
Address Canvassing Operation, is
planned for February 2009 through June
2009 to verify the census address list,
including the qualifying updates
supplied by 2010 Census LUCA
participants. During this operation,
Census Bureau field staff will add,
delete, and correct entries on the
confidential census address list and
make needed corrections to the census
maps.
Option 2—Title 13 Local Address List
Submission
The Title 13 Local Address List
Submission option will require that the
participant sign the Confidentiality
Agreement in accordance with Title 13,
United States Code. Participants who
select this option must have the means
to secure the census address list and
maps or shapefiles containing Title 13
information, according to the 2010
LUCA Security Guidelines (included in
the invitation package and on the Web).
Title 13 Local Address List Submission
is a new 2010 Census LUCA option
intended for those participants who may
not have the time or resources to update
the 2010 Census LUCA Address List,
but who wish to submit their local
address list for Census Bureau use. For
Option 2, the 2010 Census Address List
and the Address Count List will be
available only as computer-readable
products. The Census Bureau maps are
available to participants in paper format
or as shape files for use with their GIS.
Alternatively, participants may select
the Census Bureau-supplied software
that combines the census Address List,
Address Count List, and shape files
within an easy-to-use GIS tool.

Option 2 LUCA participants will
receive the 2010 Census LUCA Address
List containing city-style and noncitystyle addresses and the Address Count
List. These materials are to be used for
reference purposes only. Option 2
LUCA participants must submit their
local city-style address list in a Census
Bureau-defined computer-readable
format. The Census Bureau cannot
accept a LUCA participant’s local
address list in paper format and cannot
accept computer-readable local address
lists containing noncity-style addresses.
Each address submitted by a participant
must be ‘‘geocoded,’’ that is, associated
with a census tract and census block
number identifying its location. The
census tract and census block numbers
appear on the Census Bureau-supplied
maps, digital shape files, and the Census
Bureau-supplied GIS software tool.
As is true for all three options, the
LUCA participant may make updates
and/or corrections to the features and
boundaries on the Census Bureau maps
(with one exception: State participants
cannot update boundaries unless they
are the designated reviewer for a county,

Alternatively, participants may choose

including the qualifying updates
supplied by 2010 Census LUCA
participants. During this operation,
Census Bureau field staff will add,
delete, and correct entries on the census
address list and make needed
corrections to the census maps.
Option 3—Non-Title 13 Local Address
List Submission
Non-Title 13 Local Address List
Submission is a new LUCA option for
the 2010 Census. It is intended for those
participants who may not have the time
or resources to update the 2010 Census
LUCA Address List and/or are unable to
meet Title 13 security requirements, but
who wish to submit their local address
list for Census Bureau use. The NonTitle 13 Local Address List Submission
option will not require the participant to
sign the Confidentiality Agreement,
since they will not be receiving Title 13
data. Instead, participants will receive
only the 2010 Census LUCA Address
Count List in computer-readable format,
which they may use for reference

format or as shape files for use in their
GIS. Alternatively, participants may
choose to use the Census Bureausupplied software that combines the
census Address Count List and shape
files within an easy-to-use GIS tool.
Option 3 LUCA participants must
submit their local city-style address list
in a Census Bureau-defined, computerreadable format. The Census Bureau
cannot accept Option 3 LUCA local
address lists in paper format and cannot
accept noncity-style addresses
contained in a computer-readable local
address list. Each address submitted by
a participant must be ‘‘geocoded,’’ (i.e.,
associated with a census tract and
census block number identifying its
location). The census tract and census
block numbers appear on the Census
Bureau-supplied maps, digital shape
files, and the Census Bureau-supplied
GIS software tool.
As is true for all three options, the
LUCA participant may make updates
and/or corrections to the features and
boundaries on the Census Bureau maps
(with one exception: State participants
cannot update boundaries unless they
are the designated reviewer for a county,
township, city, town, or reservation).
The Census Bureau maps will be

including the qualifying updates
supplied by 2010 Census LUCA
participants. During this operation,
Census Bureau field staff will add,
delete, and correct entries on the census
address list and make needed
corrections to the census maps.
LUCA Feedback Process for Option 1—
Title 13 Full Address List Review
The Census Bureau will review and
computer-match each participantsubmitted address and provisionally
update the census address list with the
qualifying submissions, and then verify
the addresses during the Address
Canvassing Operation. The Address
Canvassing Operation will ensure that
all the addresses exist and that they are
in the correct census block.
The Census Bureau will provide 2010
Census LUCA Feedback materials to
each tribal, state, and local government
that submitted an acceptable list of city-

Address Canvassing Operation.
The 2010 Census LUCA Feedback
materials will document which 2010
Census LUCA address submissions the
Census Bureau could and could not
verify in the Address Canvassing
Operation. The 2010 Census LUCA
Feedback materials, which will be
provided in the media originally
requested by the participant, include:
(1) A 2010 Census LUCA Feedback
Report covering the specific address
updates submitted by the participant
and actions taken on those addresses by
the Census Bureau.
(2) An updated 2010 Census LUCA
Feedback Address List that contains all
of the census addresses verified by the
2010 Census Address Canvassing

participants. This list will document the
block count provided by the participant
and the final block count from the
Address Canvassing Operation.
(5) A set of updated Census Bureau
maps or shape files covering the
participating jurisdiction.
If participants disagree with the 2010
Census LUCA Address List or Address
Count Feedback materials, they may file
an appeal through the process that will
be established by OMB outside DOC.

[Docket Number: 070306047-7048-01]
Procedures for Participation in the 2010 Decennial Census Local
Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program
AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) is requesting public
comment on the proposed procedures for developing the specific
components of an address list review program, known as the Local Update
of Census Addresses (LUCA) program. The Census Bureau will use the LUCA
program to help develop the housing unit and group quarters (e.g.,
college dormitory, nursing home, correctional facility, etc.) address
information that it will need to conduct the 2010 Decennial Census. The
program will be available to tribal, state, and local governments, and
the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico (or their designated
representatives), in areas for which the Census Bureau performs a
precensus address canvassing operation (excluded are sparsely settled
areas in the states of Alaska and Maine). The LUCA program includes
federally recognized American Indian tribes with reservations and/or
off-reservation trust lands, states, and general-purpose local
governments, such as cities and townships, for which the Census Bureau
reports data. This notice provides information about the three proposed
options available to participants for reviewing and annotating the 2010
Census LUCA materials, as well as a description of the feedback
materials that will be provided to participants following their
participation. A future notice will announce the establishment outside
the Department of Commerce (DOC) of the Census Address List Appeals
process that will be established by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for the 2010 Census LUCA Operation. The Census Bureau and the OMB
will publish a separate Federal Register Notice seeking comments on
this Appeal process at a later date.
DATES: Any comments, questions, suggestions, or recommendations
concerning these proposed procedures should be submitted in writing by
August 6, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Please send any correspondence about the 2010 Census LUCA
program procedures to Ms. Teresa Angueira, Associate Director for
Decennial Census, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about the Census
Bureau's 2010 Census LUCA program, contact Mr. Robert A. LaMacchia,
Chief, Geography Division, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994
The Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-430,
Oct 31, 1994, 108 Stat. 4393) mandates the procedures to be used by the
Census Bureau for developing the decennial census address list, and
address lists for other censuses and surveys conducted by the Census
Bureau. The Act's provisions direct the Secretary of Commerce to: (1)
Publish standards defining the content and structure of address
information that tribal, state, and local governments may submit to be
used for developing a national address list; (2) develop and publish a
timetable for the Census Bureau to receive, review, and respond to
submissions; and (3) provide a response to the submissions regarding
[[Page 34435]]
the Census Bureau's determination for each address. The Act provides
that OMB's Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, acting through the Chief Statistician and in consultation with
the Bureau of the Census, shall develop an appeals process for tribal,
state, and local governments to appeal determinations of the Census
Bureau. The Act also directs the U.S. Postal Service to provide the
Secretary of Commerce with address information, as may be determined by
the Secretary to be appropriate for use by the Census Bureau.
The Act authorizes the Census Bureau to provide designated
officials of tribal, state, and local governments (who agree to pledges
and conditions of confidentiality) with access to census addresses
information. Prior to Census 2000, the Census Bureau was limited to
providing block summary totals of addresses to tribal, state, and local
governments. Census 2000 marked the first decennial census where tribal
and local governments, which signed the required confidentiality
agreement, were able to review the census address list.
The 2010 Census LUCA Program Process
The Census Bureau is using the 2010 Census LUCA program to help
develop the address information it needs to conduct the 2010 Census.
The 2010 Census LUCA program is available to tribal, state, and local
governments (or their designated representatives) in areas for which
the Census Bureau is developing its address list in advance of the 2010
Census. Jurisdictions or parts of jurisdictions with special
enumeration needs are not eligible to receive 2010 Census LUCA
materials. These areas may include remote, sparsely populated areas,
and/or resort areas.
Beginning in January 2007, the Census Bureau mailed pre-invitation
letters and LUCA information booklets (called the Advance Notification
package) to tribal, state, and local governments eligible to
participate in the nationwide 2010 Census LUCA program. The purpose of
the Advance Notification package is to provide tribal, state, and local
governments with samples of the LUCA program materials and lead-time to
begin planning their strategy for participation in the 2010 Census LUCA
program. In August 2007, the Census Bureau plans to mail the LUCA
invitation letters and registration materials to tribal, state, and
local governments, formally inviting them to participate in the 2010
Census LUCA program. The Census Bureau plans a telephone follow-up to
non-responding governments, followed by a final reminder/closeout
letter in November 2007 to all non-responding governments.
The 2010 Census LUCA program differs from the Census 2000 LUCA
program. One notable change is that, for the first time, states will be
invited to participate and review the Census Bureau's address list for
the entire state (with the exception noted in the next paragraph),
selected substate areas, and selected address types. When conflicts
arise between the geographic assignment and depiction of the same
address from different levels of government, the Census Bureau will
attempt to validate the most local level of government's version of the
address.
Another change from Census 2000 LUCA concerns the suppression from
the state and local LUCA address list of all addresses contained within
the boundary of any American Indian reservation or off-reservation
trust land recognized by the federal government. These addresses appear
only on LUCA materials provided to participating tribal governments.
This is in keeping with the Census Bureau's recognition of the unique
government-to-government relationship between the federal government
and federally-recognized tribal governments. The Census Bureau
encourages tribal governments to coordinate their work with non-tribal
governments in overlapping areas, to ensure that all addresses are
identified for census purposes. If a tribal government chooses not to
participate in the LUCA program, the Census Bureau encourages the tribe
to delegate authority to review the address list to a state, county, or
local government.
Using information gathered from various surveys and evaluations of
the Census 2000 LUCA program, the Census Bureau has streamlined the
2010 Census LUCA program. For the 2010 Census LUCA program, all
eligible LUCA participants will review their entire address list at one
time, instead of in phases based on address type as was done for the
Census 2000 LUCA program. Each tribal, state, and local government that
participates in the 2010 Census LUCA program will have 120 calendar
days, from the time it receives its materials, to conduct its review of
the census address list and maps.
Tribal, state, and local governments will be required to return
their completed registration package to the Census Bureau, postmarked
by November 19, 2007, to be eligible for the full 120-day review
period. The last date that the Census Bureau will accept 2010 Census
LUCA registration packages from tribal, state, and local governments is
December 31, 2007. Participants who register late will have a shorter
review period. The latest date will be April 4, 2008 (receipt date),
for which LUCA participants can return their submission to the Census
Bureau in order for the Census Bureau to review and process the
submission in time for the nationwide Address Canvassing Operation.
For the 2010 Census LUCA program, participants can choose from one
of three options described below.\1\ Participants will receive review
materials in either paper or computer-readable formats, or may use
Census Bureau-supplied software to update their jurisdiction's map
features and address list. Jurisdictions with more than 6,000 addresses
will be required to participate using a computer-readable address list.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Puerto Rico participants will be restricted to Option 1
because of address matching complexities unique to Puerto Rico.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A nationwide field check, called the Address Canvassing Operation,
is planned for February 2009 through June 2009 to verify the census
address list, including the qualifying updates supplied by 2010 Census
LUCA participants. During this operation, Census Bureau field staff
will add, delete, and correct entries on the census address list and
make needed corrections to the census maps. Census Bureau LUCA feedback
to LUCA participants will be based on the results of Address
Canvassing.
Section 3 of the Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994
requires the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in consultation
with the Census Bureau, to develop an Appeal process outside DOC to
resolve any disagreements that may remain after participating
governments receive the Census Bureau's Detailed Feedback/Final
Determination materials. The Census Bureau and OMB will jointly
publish, at a later date, a separate Federal Register Notice describing
the Appeal process.
Described below are the three participation options for the 2010
Census LUCA program.
Option 1--Title 13 Full Address List Review
The Full Address List Review option will require that the
participant sign the Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with Title
13, United States Code. Jurisdictions selecting this option
[[Page 34436]]
should first determine that they have the time and resources to review
and comment on the 2010 Census LUCA Address List. This option is also
the only option that governments can choose if their jurisdiction
contains only noncity-style addresses (e.g., rural route/box number,
post office box, general delivery, descriptive addresses), because it
is the only option that allows the participant to challenge the count
of addresses in a census block, as described below.
The Full Address List Review participants will receive the 2010
Census Address List, the Address Count List (a count of addresses
within each census block), and maps or digital shape files of their
jurisdiction. Participants who select this option must have the means
to secure the census address list and maps or shapefiles containing
confidential Title 13 information, as described in the 2010 LUCA
Security Guidelines, which will be included in the invitation package
to be shipped to all eligible governments in August 2007. The 2010
Census Address List and the Address Count List will be available as a
paper or computer-readable product. The Census Bureau maps will be
available in paper format for tribal and local governments (not state),
or shape files for use in their Geographic Information System (GIS).
Alternatively, the participant may choose to use the Census Bureau-
supplied software that combines the census address list and shape files
within an easy-to-use GIS tool. Details regarding this software are
contained within the promotional materials that eligible tribal, state,
and local governments have been sent and will also be covered in the
training workshops to be held in summer/fall of 2007.
Although the 2010 Census Address List will contain city-style
(house number and street name, used for mail delivery or E-911) as well
as noncity-style addresses, participants can only add and/or provide
updates (including deletions) for city-style addresses. Each address
added by a participant must be ``geocoded,'' that is, associated with a
census tract and census block number identifying its location. The
census tract and census block numbers appear on the Census Bureau-
supplied maps, digital shape files, and the Census Bureau-supplied GIS
software tool.
The Census Bureau limits address updates to city-style addresses
because noncity-style addresses are not usually locational and are
subject to change. However, participants may challenge the address
count for a census block on the Address Count List regardless of the
type of addresses it contains. Participants do this by providing what
they believe is the correct number of addresses for the census block.
Participants cannot provide both updates for individual addresses on
the 2010 Census Address List and challenge the count of addresses on
the Address Count List for the same census block.
As is true for all three options, the LUCA participant may make
updates and/or corrections to the features and boundaries on the Census
Bureau maps (with one exception: State participants cannot update
boundaries unless they are the designated reviewer for a county,
township, city, town, or reservation). The Census Bureau maps will be
available to participants in paper format, or as digital shape files
for use in their GIS. Alternatively, participants may choose to use the
Census Bureau-supplied software that combines the Address List, the
Address Count List, and shape files within an easy-to-use GIS tool.
A nationwide field check, called the Address Canvassing Operation,
is planned for February 2009 through June 2009 to verify the census
address list, including the qualifying updates supplied by 2010 Census
LUCA participants. During this operation, Census Bureau field staff
will add, delete, and correct entries on the confidential census
address list and make needed corrections to the census maps.
Option 2--Title 13 Local Address List Submission
The Title 13 Local Address List Submission option will require that
the participant sign the Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with
Title 13, United States Code. Participants who select this option must
have the means to secure the census address list and maps or shapefiles
containing Title 13 information, according to the 2010 LUCA Security
Guidelines (included in the invitation package and on the Web). Title
13 Local Address List Submission is a new 2010 Census LUCA option
intended for those participants who may not have the time or resources
to update the 2010 Census LUCA Address List, but who wish to submit
their local address list for Census Bureau use. For Option 2, the 2010
Census Address List and the Address Count List will be available only
as computer-readable products. The Census Bureau maps are available to
participants in paper format or as shape files for use with their GIS.
Alternatively, participants may select the Census Bureau-supplied
software that combines the census Address List, Address Count List, and
shape files within an easy-to-use GIS tool.
Option 2 LUCA participants will receive the 2010 Census LUCA
Address List containing city-style and noncity-style addresses and the
Address Count List. These materials are to be used for reference
purposes only. Option 2 LUCA participants must submit their local city-
style address list in a Census Bureau-defined computer-readable format.
The Census Bureau cannot accept a LUCA participant's local address list
in paper format and cannot accept computer-readable local address lists
containing noncity-style addresses. Each address submitted by a
participant must be ``geocoded,'' that is, associated with a census
tract and census block number identifying its location. The census
tract and census block numbers appear on the Census Bureau-supplied
maps, digital shape files, and the Census Bureau-supplied GIS software
tool.
As is true for all three options, the LUCA participant may make
updates and/or corrections to the features and boundaries on the Census
Bureau maps (with one exception: State participants cannot update
boundaries unless they are the designated reviewer for a county,
township, city, town, or reservation). The Census Bureau maps will be
available to participants in paper format or as shape files for use in
their GIS. Alternatively, participants may choose to use the Census
Bureau-supplied software that combines the Address List, Address Count
List and shape files within an easy-to-use GIS tool.
A nationwide field check, called the Address Canvassing Operation,
is planned for February 2009 through June 2009 to verify the census
address list, including the qualifying updates supplied by 2010 Census
LUCA participants. During this operation, Census Bureau field staff
will add, delete, and correct entries on the census address list and
make needed corrections to the census maps.
Option 3--Non-Title 13 Local Address List Submission
Non-Title 13 Local Address List Submission is a new LUCA option for
the 2010 Census. It is intended for those participants who may not have
the time or resources to update the 2010 Census LUCA Address List and/
or are unable to meet Title 13 security requirements, but who wish to
submit their local address list for Census Bureau use. The Non-Title 13
Local Address List Submission option will not require the participant
to sign the Confidentiality Agreement, since they will not be receiving
Title 13 data. Instead, participants will receive only the 2010 Census
LUCA Address Count List in computer-readable format, which they may use
for reference
[[Page 34437]]
purposes only. The Census Bureau maps will be available to participants
in paper format or as shape files for use in their GIS. Alternatively,
participants may choose to use the Census Bureau-supplied software that
combines the census Address Count List and shape files within an easy-
to-use GIS tool.
Option 3 LUCA participants must submit their local city-style
address list in a Census Bureau-defined, computer-readable format. The
Census Bureau cannot accept Option 3 LUCA local address lists in paper
format and cannot accept noncity-style addresses contained in a
computer-readable local address list. Each address submitted by a
participant must be ``geocoded,'' (i.e., associated with a census tract
and census block number identifying its location). The census tract and
census block numbers appear on the Census Bureau-supplied maps, digital
shape files, and the Census Bureau-supplied GIS software tool.
As is true for all three options, the LUCA participant may make
updates and/or corrections to the features and boundaries on the Census
Bureau maps (with one exception: State participants cannot update
boundaries unless they are the designated reviewer for a county,
township, city, town, or reservation). The Census Bureau maps will be
available to participants in paper format or as shape files for use in
their GIS. Alternatively, participants may choose to use the Census
Bureau-supplied software that combines the Address Count List and shape
files within an easy-to-use GIS tool.
A nationwide field check, called the Address Canvassing Operation,
is planned for February 2009 through June 2009 to verify the census
address list, including the qualifying updates supplied by 2010 Census
LUCA participants. During this operation, Census Bureau field staff
will add, delete, and correct entries on the census address list and
make needed corrections to the census maps.
LUCA Feedback Process for Option 1--Title 13 Full Address List Review
The Census Bureau will review and computer-match each participant-
submitted address and provisionally update the census address list with
the qualifying submissions, and then verify the addresses during the
Address Canvassing Operation. The Address Canvassing Operation will
ensure that all the addresses exist and that they are in the correct
census block.
The Census Bureau will provide 2010 Census LUCA Feedback materials
to each tribal, state, and local government that submitted an
acceptable list of city-style addresses. The Census Bureau will provide
the 2010 Census LUCA Feedback materials on a flow basis to qualifying
jurisdictions during August to October 2009 after completion of the
Address Canvassing Operation.
The 2010 Census LUCA Feedback materials will document which 2010
Census LUCA address submissions the Census Bureau could and could not
verify in the Address Canvassing Operation. The 2010 Census LUCA
Feedback materials, which will be provided in the media originally
requested by the participant, include:
(1) A 2010 Census LUCA Feedback Report covering the specific
address updates submitted by the participant and actions taken on those
addresses by the Census Bureau.
(2) An updated 2010 Census LUCA Feedback Address List that contains
all of the census addresses verified by the 2010 Census Address
Canvassing operation within the participating jurisdiction's boundary.
(3) An updated Address Count List documenting the number of housing
unit and group quarters addresses in each census block within the
participating jurisdiction's boundary.
(4) An updated Address Count List displaying just the blocks
challenged by participants. This list will document the block count
provided by the participant and the final block count from the Address
Canvassing Operation.
(5) A set of updated Census Bureau maps or shape files covering the
participating jurisdiction.
If participants disagree with the 2010 Census LUCA Address List or
Address Count Feedback materials, they may file an appeal through the
process that will be established by OMB outside DOC.
LUCA Feedback Process for Option 2--Title 13 Local Address List
Submission
The Census Bureau will review and computer-match each participant-
submitted address and provisionally update the census address list with
the qualifying submissions, and then verify the addresses during the
Address Canvassing Operation. The Address Canvassing Operation will
ensure that all the addresses exist and that they are in the correct
census block.
The Census Bureau will provide 2010 Census LUCA Feedback materials
to each tribal, state, and local government that submitted an
acceptable list of city-style addresses. The Census Bureau will provide
the 2010 Census LUCA Feedback materials on a flow basis to qualifying
jurisdictions during August to October 2009 after completion of the
Address Canvassing Operation.
The 2010 Census LUCA Feedback materials will document which 2010
Census LUCA address submissions the Census Bureau verified in the field
and which ones it could not verify. The 2010 Census LUCA Feedback
materials, which will be provided in the media originally requested by
the participant, include:
(1) A 2010 Census LUCA Feedback Report covering the specific
address updates submitted by the participant and actions taken on those
addresses by the Census Bureau.
(2) An updated 2010 Census LUCA Address List that contains all of
the census addresses assigned within the participating jurisdiction's
boundary.
(3) An updated Address Count List documenting the number of housing
unit and group quarters addresses in each census block within the
participating jurisdiction's boundary.
(4) A set of updated Census Bureau maps or shape files covering the
participating jurisdiction.
If participants disagree with the 2010 Census LUCA Feedback on
their submitted address list, they may file an appeal through the
process that will be established by OMB outside DOC.
LUCA Feedback Process for Option 3--Non-Title 13 Local Address List
Submission
The Census Bureau will review and computer-match each participant-
submitted address and provisionally update the census address list with
the qualifying submissions, and then verify the addresses during the
Address Canvassing Operation. The Address Canvassing Operation will
ensure that all addresses exist and that they are in the correct census
block.
The Census Bureau will provide 2010 Census LUCA Feedback materials
to each tribal, state, and local government that submitted an
acceptable list of city-style addresses. The Census Bureau will provide
the 2010 Census LUCA Feedback materials on a flow basis to qualifying
jurisdictions during August to October 2009 after completion of the
Address Canvassing Operation.
The 2010 Census LUCA Feedback materials, which will be provided in
the media originally requested by the participant, include:
(1) An updated Address Count List documenting the number of
addresses in each census block within the jurisdiction.
(2) A set of updated Census Bureau maps or shape files for the
jurisdiction.
Option 3 participants will not be able to file an Appeal since
their Non-Title 13 status means they will not receive the detailed
address level feedback

necessary for an Appeal. For Option 3 participants, the Census Bureau's
2010 Census LUCA program will be officially completed at the time the
Census Bureau provides the LUCA Feedback materials to the participant.
