Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 123 / Friday, June 26, 2015 / Notices
responsibility for legislative
apportionment or districting of each
state . . .’’ with the opportunity to
specify small geographic areas (for
example voting districts, wards, and
election precincts) for which they wish
to receive decennial census population
totals for the purpose of
reapportionment and redistricting.
By April 1 of the year following the
census, the Secretary is required to
furnish the State officials or their
designees with population counts for
counties, cities, census blocks, and
State-specified congressional districts,
legislative districts, and voting districts.
In accordance with the provisions of
Title 13, U.S.C. Section 141(c), and on
behalf of the Secretary of Commerce, the
Director announces the commencement
of Phase 1 of the 2020 Census
Redistricting Data Program. The purpose
of this notice is to provide further
information on the commencement of
the 2020 Census Redistricting Data
Program, Phase 1—The Block Boundary
Suggestion Project. Future Federal
Register notices will address the other
phases of the 2020 Program.
The 2020 Census Redistricting Data
Program was initially announced on
July 15, 2014, in the Federal Register
(79 FR 41258). The Census Bureau
received and responded to three
comments regarding the Redistricting
Data Program. All three comments were
concerned with the effect that the
census residence rules have on State
legislative redistricting. In response, the
Census Bureau explained that, while we
work closely with the States to identify
new construction; correct political
boundaries; and add nonstandard
features for use as block boundaries, our
data tabulation programs consistently
use the residence rules established for
census collection and tabulation
purposes. The responses indicated that
we are currently reviewing our
residence rules in preparation for the
2020 Census.
As seen in the 1990, 2000, and 2010
censuses, the 2020 Census Redistricting
Data Program is partitioned into several
phases. State participation in Phase 1
and 2 of the 2010 Census Redistricting
Data Program under 13 U.S.C. 141 is
voluntary.
Beginning in late summer of 2015, the
Director of the Census Bureau will
invite each state to participate in Phase
1, the Block Boundary Suggestion
Project through their previously
designated liaison. This phase will
include a verification step prior to
release of the Phase 3 data. For each
State responding that they wish to
participate by December 15, 2015 the
Census Bureau will provide data from
the MAF/TIGER System, optional
Geographic Update Partnership
Software (GUPS) tools, and the
procedures necessary for each State to
begin work on Phase 1. States are not
required to use the GUPS; however, they
are required to provide their Phase 1
submission to the Census Bureau
electronically in Census Bureau
specified formats. During the
submission period, the Census Bureau
will provide training in the use of the
GUPS and assist the states in
understanding the procedures necessary
for processing files for their submission.
The States will have the opportunity to
verify the inclusion of their suggested
tabulation block boundary features in
the Census Bureau’s database as part of
Phase 1.
The Census Bureau will continue to
communicate with each State to ensure
that they are well informed about the
benefits of working with the Census
Bureau towards a successful 2020
Census. In addition, the Redistricting
Data Office will continue to work with
each State to ensure they are prepared
to participate in all phases of the
Redistricting Data Program. Every State,
regardless of their participation in Phase
1, will receive the official redistricting
data sets, as required by Public Law 94–
171 in Phase 3 of the Redistricting Data
Program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Travel Promotion
Act of 2009 (TPA) was signed into law
by President Obama on March 4, 2010.
The TPA established the Corporation for
Travel Promotion (the Corporation), as a
non-profit corporation charged with the
development and execution of a plan to
(A) provide useful information to those
interested in traveling to the United
States; (B) identify and address
perceptions regarding U.S. entry
policies; (C) maximize economic and
diplomatic benefits of travel to the
United States through the use of various
promotional tools; (D) ensure that
international travel benefits all States
and the District of Columbia, and (E)
identify opportunities to promote
tourism to rural and urban areas
equally, including areas not
traditionally visited by international
travelers.
The Corporation is governed by a
Board of Directors, consisting of 11
members with knowledge of
international travel promotion or
marketing, broadly representing various
regions of the United States. The TPA
directs the Secretary of Commerce (after
consultation with the Secretary of
Homeland Security and the Secretary of
State) to appoint the Board of Directors
for the Corporation.
At this time, the Department will be
selecting four individuals with the
appropriate expertise and experience
from specific sectors of the travel and
tourism industry to serve on the Board
as follows:
(A) 1 shall have appropriate expertise
and experience in a city convention and
visitors’ bureau;
(B) 1 shall have appropriate expertise
and experience in the restaurant

(C) 1 shall have appropriate expertise
and experience as an official in a State

good cause). The terms of office of each
member of the Board appointed by the
Secretary shall be 3 years. Board
members can serve a maximum of two
consecutive full three-year terms. Board
members are not considered Federal
government employees by virtue of their
service as a member of the Board and
