SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census
(Census Bureau) requests public
comment on the New Construction
Program, which allows tribal and local
governments to submit lists of addresses
for newly constructed housing units to
the Census Bureau. The purpose of this
program is to ensure that the Census
Bureau’s address list is as complete and
accurate as possible for the conduct of
the Decennial Census on April 1, 2010.
DATES: To ensure consideration during
the decision-making process, the Census
Bureau must receive all comments in
writing on or before July 31, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning the
proposed 2010 Census New
Construction Program should be
submitted to Arnold A. Jackson,
Associate Director for Decennial Census,
U.S. Census Bureau, through one of the
following methods:
FAX: Comments may be faxed to (301)

As part of
its objective to produce a complete and
accurate population count, the Census
Bureau proposes to implement the 2010
Decennial Census New Construction
Program to capture the addresses of
newly constructed housing units.
Specifically, the purpose is to utilize
tribal and local knowledge of recent and
in-progress construction to identify, and
add to the census address list, the
addresses for housing units not yet
existent at the time of the Address
Canvassing Operation, a nationwide
check during the Spring/Summer of
2009 in which the Census Bureau
verified the census address list that will
be used to deliver questionnaires for the
Decennial Census. During address
canvassing, census workers
systematically canvassed all census
blocks looking for living quarters and
add, delete, and correct entries on the
census address list to ensure its
completeness and accuracy. The
Address Canvassing Operation is
expected to conclude on July 17, 2009.
In order to account for any housing
units whose construction began after the
start of the Address Canvassing
Operation, the Census Bureau is
proposing to implement the New
Construction Program.
The 2010 Decennial Census New
Construction Program is conducted by
the Census Bureau under the authority
of Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.),
Section 141(a), and is separate and
distinct from the Local Update of
Census Addresses Program (see 73 FR
12369) in that its only purpose is to
identify addresses for housing units
newly constructed starting in March
2009 that are expected to be closed to
the elements (final roof, windows and
doors) by Census Day, April 1, 2010.
The New Construction Program was
conducted for the first time as part of
Census 2000.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed 2010 Decennial Census New
Construction Program
The 2010 Census New Construction
Program is offered to Federally
Recognized American Indian tribal
governments with reservations and/or
trustlands, and local governments
(counties, incorporated places, and
functioning minor civil divisions) with
jurisdictions where the Census Bureau
will deliver the census questionnaires
E:\FR\FM\01JYN1.SGM
01JYN1
31406
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 125 / Wednesday, July 1, 2009 / Notices
by mail. For other areas, Census Bureau
enumerators will hand deliver the
census questionnaires to all housing
units in each block, including any
newly constructed units not already on
the census address list. Tribal and local
governments that wish to participate in
the Program will be invited to submit a
list of addresses of newly constructed
housing units for inclusion in the
Census Address List. The address list
submitted by New Construction
Program participants must only include
addresses for housing units for which
construction began during or after
March 2009 that are expected to be
closed to the elements (final roof,
windows and doors) by Census Day,
April 1, 2010. No street or boundary
updates will be accepted by the New
Construction Program.
The New Construction Program will
not accept additions of Group Quarters
addresses. Group Quarters addresses are
defined as places where people live or
stay in a group living arrangement that
is owned or managed by an entity or
organization providing housing and/or
services for the residents. The Census
Bureau has programs that are
specifically designed to capture new
Group Quarters addresses, including but
not limited to, Group Quarters
Validation, Group Quarters Advanced
Visit, Group Quarters Enumeration, and
the Count Review program.
The Census Bureau plans to mail a
New Construction Program invitation
letter and registration forms in July 2009
to the tribal and local governments that
are eligible to participate in the New
Construction Program. Interested tribal
and local governments will be asked to
return the registration form in order to
participate in the program. As part of
the registration form, the participant
must identify the format of the maps or
spatial data that they wish to receive
from the Census Bureau. The maps or
spatial data are for use as a reference for
assigning census tract and block codes
(geocoding) for each submitted address.
The maps are offered in Portable
Document Format (PDF) and spatial
data are available from TIGER® in
shapefile format that requires a
Geographic Information System (GIS)
software application for viewing.
For governments choosing maps in
PDF, the Census Bureau will provide
Adobe® Reader® software to view the
PDF maps. For those participants who
choose to use shapefiles, the Census
Bureau will provide the MAF/TIGER
Partnership Software (MTPS) to enter
addresses and output them in the
prescribed format. The MTPS is an easyto-use desktop tool that makes
participation easier for governments

without a GIS system. The MTPS also
provides map viewing capability when
used with the shapefiles provided by
the Census Bureau. However,
participants may use their own software
to create a computer readable list of
addresses in the prescribed format.
The Census Bureau will send out New
Construction materials to registered
participants during November 2009
through January 2010. The PDF package
will contain the following:
(1) The New Construction Quick Start
Document;
(2) The New Construction User Guide;
(3) The New Construction Address
List Template;
(4) Zip Software;
(5) CD Readme.txt File;
(6) PDF Software (Adobe® Reader®);
(7) New Construction Map PDFs.
The MTPS/Shapefile package will
contain the following:
(1) The New Construction Quick Start
Document;
(2) The New Construction User Guide;
(3) The New Construction MTPS User
Guide;
(4) The New Construction Address
List Template;
(5) Zip Software;
(6) CD Readme.txt File;
(7) MTPS Software;
(8) Shapefiles.
Participants must submit their New
Construction address lists to the Census
Bureau within forty-five (45) calendar
days after receipt of the New
Construction materials. ‘‘Receipt’’ as
used herein is defined as the delivery
date reported to the Census Bureau by
the delivery service that delivers the
New Construction materials to the
eligible government. The New
Construction addresses must be
returned in the Census Bureau’s
predefined format and each address
must be ‘‘geocoded,’’ or assigned to the
census tract and block in which it is
located as shown on the New
Construction census maps (PDF or
shapefiles).
Files that are submitted in the proper
format are compared against the Census
Bureau’s Master Address File to check
for any addresses already on the list.
The Census Bureau, using the
participant supplied addresses, will
visit and attempt to enumerate each
newly constructed housing unit that has
been identified as missing from our list.
The census enumeration process will
determine the final housing unit status
and population for each new unit.
