Needs and Uses
The Partnership Statistical Areas
Program (PSAP) is one of many
voluntary geographic partnership
programs. PSAP collects suggested
statistical boundaries to update the U.S.
Census Bureau’s geographic database of
addresses, streets, and boundaries. The
Census Bureau uses its geographic
database to link demographic data from
surveys and the decennial Census to
locations and areas, such as cities,
school districts, and counties. To
tabulate statistics by localities, the
Census Bureau must have accurate
addresses and boundaries.
The boundaries collected in PSAP
and other geographic programs will

ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 227 / Tuesday, November 28, 2017 / Notices
create census blocks, which are the
building blocks for all Census Bureau
geographic boundaries. The addresses
collected in the 2020 Census Local
Update of Census Addresses Operation
(LUCA) will place households in a
specific census block. While the
geographic programs differ in
requirements, timeframe, and
participants, PSAP and the other
geographic programs all follow the same
basic process:
1. The Census Bureau invites eligible
participants to the program. For PSAP,
the Census Bureau invites federally
recognized tribes, Alaska Native
Regional Associations, local or regional
planning agencies, and council of
government officials.
2. If they elect to participate in the
program, participants receive a copy of
the boundaries or addresses the Census
Bureau has on file. PSAP participants
receive a free customized mapping
software.
3. Participants review the boundaries
or addresses in the Census Bureau
provided software and update them if
needed. For PSAP, the Census Bureau
strongly recommends that PSAP
participants reach out to local
governments to collect updates.
4. Participants return their updates to
the Census Bureau.
5. The Census Bureau updates their
geographic database with boundary
updates from participants.
6. The Census Bureau uses the newly
updated boundaries and addresses to
tabulate statistics.
PSAP allows participants to review
and suggest modifications to the
boundaries for block groups, census
tracts, census county divisions (CCDs),
and census designated places (CDPs).
Additionally, tribal governments can
review or propose changes for tribal
statistical areas, which include: Tribal
block groups (TBGs), tribal census tracts
(TCTs), CDPs, tribal designated
statistical areas (TDSAs), state
designated tribal statistical areas
(SDTSAs), state reservations,1 Alaska
Native village statistical areas
(ANVSAs), Oklahoma tribal statistical
areas (OTSAs), and OTSA tribal
subdivisions.
The PSAP geographies represent
statistical units for the tabulation and
dissemination of small area data from
the decennial census, the American
Community Survey (ACS), and other
Census Bureau programs and surveys.
While legal boundaries, such as cities
and counties, allow the Census Bureau
1 State reservations are not statistical areas, but
they are included in PSAP for administrative
reasons.

Jkt 244001
to publish data by those areas, local
governments often need data for
planning by smaller units. PSAP is a
unique program initiated and executed
by the Census Bureau to allow local and
regional governments to break larger
geographic areas into smaller units so
that they can receive 2020 Census and
ACS data by these smaller units and
better plan local services. The Census
Bureau uses the information collected in
PSAP from participating governments
and agencies to tabulate and
disseminate small area data from the
decennial census, the American
Community Survey (ACS), and other
Census Bureau programs and surveys. In
addition, these statistical geographies
and the data they provide serve as input
to governing, allocating federal funding,
and planning of capital expenditures
and basic infrastructure investment at
the tribal, state, and county levels.
The 2020 Census PSAP occurs
between March 2018 and October 2020
and has three primary components:
1. PSAP Internal Review.
2. PSAP Delineation.
3. PSAP Verification.
1. PSAP Internal Review
Census Bureau staff performs an
internal review of PSAP entities prior to
the distribution of materials to PSAP
participants. This internal review
ensures each of the statistical areas
meets the population, housing, and
geographic criteria as defined by the
program. During the internal review
process, the Census Bureau reviews,
revises, and updates a draft plan of
these statistical areas. This geographic
plan aims to help participants
efficiently identify and prioritize areas
that need to be reviewed and revised for
their local areas.
From March 2018 through May 2018,
Census Bureau staff initially contacts
the 2010 Census PSAP participants to
solicit participation in the 2020 Census
PSAP. If 2010 Census PSAP participants
decline to participate in the 2020
Census PSAP, the Census Bureau will
reach out and invite local or regional
planning agencies (RPAs) that can cover
relatively large areas. To obtain coverage
nationwide, the Census Bureau works
with federally recognized tribes, Alaska
Native Regional Associations (ANRAs),
local or regional planning agencies, and
councils of government officials (COGs).
The Census Bureau strongly
recommends PSAP participants to seek
input from other census data users and
stakeholders regarding 2020 Census
PSAP statistical area delineations.
Participants reach out to local
governments for additional inputs and
coordinate the multiple interests and
PO 00000

requests that arise. Local governments
that are interested in participating may
contact the participants covering their
area. The Census Bureau will publish
the contact information of the 2020
Census PSAP participants on the PSAP
Web site. The Census Bureau will
contact federally recognized tribes to
solicit their participation in the 2020
Census PSAP. For state recognized
tribes, the Census Bureau will invite
state governors to designate or appoint
a state tribal liaison for the 2020 Census
PSAP. The Census Bureau will also
contact State Data Centers to help build
the 2020 Census PSAP invitation and
communication lists.
In July 2018, participants receive an
official invitation package with a
Contact Update Form that they fill out
and return to the Census Bureau by
mail. The Census Bureau then sends
reminder packages to participants who
do not respond in the time period
mentioned on the Contact Update Form.
2. PSAP Delineation
In January 2019, the Census Bureau
notifies program participants of the start
of the delineation phase. The Census
Bureau conducts the delineation phase
of the 2020 Census PSAP boundaries
using the web-based Geographic Update
Partnership Software (GUPS), a
customized geographic information
system (GIS) based on an open-source
platform. Participants can either
download the materials and software
online from the Census Bureau’s Web
site or have them shipped on DVDs.
Participants have a maximum of 120
days from the date of receipt of
materials to complete and submit
statistical geography updates to the
Census Bureau.
3. PSAP Verification
The verification phase starts January
2020 and allows participants to review
the proposed edits from Census Bureau
geographers. The Census Bureau sends
a prepaid postcard to participants
asking them to verify, accept, or reject
the final version of the proposed plan,
which is available online or by paper
maps for tribal participants. Participants
have 90 calendar days to review
updates. Census Bureau staff contacts
non-respondents through a follow-up
mail-out and follow-up telephone calls.
Once the Census Bureau receives the
postcard with a participant’s approval
or acceptance of the final verification
plan, the Census Bureau finalizes the
2020 statistical boundaries.
Method of Collection: The Census
Bureau offers two methods of collection
for the 2020 Census PSAP:

1. GUPS submission (electronic): The
Census Bureau uses several formats to
collect information and updates for
statistical boundaries during the
internal review, delineation, and
verification phases. The Census Bureau
collects updated contact information
from participants who choose to
participate in the program online, by
email, and by telephone. The Census
Bureau-provided software, GUPS, is the
only method of response for state and
local governments. However, tribal
participants reviewing TBGs, TCTs, or
CDPs may elect to use GUPS or Census
Bureau provided paper map products to
review and edit tribal statistical
geographies.
2. Paper map submission: Participants
reviewing ANVSAs, OTSAs, OTSA
tribal subdivisions, TDSAs, or SDTSAs
are provided Census Bureau paper map
products to review and edit tribal
statistical areas.
