SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Census Bureau’s Decennial
Directorate and the Intergovernmental
Affairs Office is responsible for the
development and implementation of
outreach and promotion activities to
assist in obtaining a complete and
accurate census count in 2020 among all
residents including the American Indian
and Alaska Native (AIAN) populations.
This program is one part of the overall
outreach and promotion efforts directed
at building awareness about the
importance of the census and
motivating response to the census in
communities all across the country.
In accordance with Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments, issued
November 6, 2000, the Census Bureau
will be adhering to its tribal
consultation policy by seeking the input
of tribal governments in the planning
and implementation of the 2020 Census
with the goal of ensuring the most
accurate counts and data for the
American Indian and Alaska Native
population. In that regard, we are
seeking comments with regard to the
following operational topics:
Enumeration—Enumeration is the
process of collecting data, and is the
central focus of the decennial census
operation. Most successful enumeration
occurs at the respondent’s domicile
either through self-response, or through
some method of non-response followup. The Census Bureau is exploring

ways to increase its self-response rates,
and is developing tools to ease the
burden of responding by leveraging
technology, and exploring new
modalities to promote Internet response.
Demographic Statistics—
Demographic statistics provide
information that is used to develop an
understanding of the age, sex, and racial
composition of a population and how it
has changed over time through the basic
demographic processes of birth, death,
and migration.
Geography—Geography is a
determinative part of the decennial
census operation because it provides
meaning and context to decennial
census counts. Geographic planning
provides the framework for census
design, data collection, tabulation, and
data dissemination. The Census Bureau
seeks to use the latest and best
geographic methodologies available to
support the decennial census.
2020 Census Field Partnerships and
Recruitment—Partnership efforts focus
on maximizing public engagement in
the decennial census process in an effort
to keep the public informed, encourage
self-response, and assist with recruiting
the workforce necessary to complete the
decennial census. Partnership efforts are
directed at individuals from all walks of
life, as well as the widest variety of
public, private and governmental
organizations.
2020 Census Communications and
Planning—Communications planning
seeks to motivate the entire population
of the 50 states and its territories to
participate in the decennial census and
its partnership activities.
Communications planning will
culminate in a communications
campaign that will focus on increasing
participation in self-response options,
improving accuracy, reducing the
differential undercount and improving
cooperation with enumerators and field
operations.
