Closeout. daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES New Construction Program Invitation Phase The Census Bureau will mail the New Construction Program invitation letter and registration form in April 2019 to approximately 32,000 eligible participants that include federally recognized American Indian tribal governments with reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands, states, and local governments. Based on the 2010 Census New Construction Program, the Census Bureau estimates 6,550 out of the 32,000 invited governments will participate. To participate, interested governments must designate a New Construction liaison and respond to the invitation package by completing and returning the registration form to the Census Bureau by July 19, 2019. Participants must also identify the format of the maps or spatial data that they wish to receive from the Census Bureau. The Census Bureau collects the registration form from the government that wants to participate in the program and/or the reasons for non participation from those who cannot participate. Additionally, the Census Bureau collects the contact information of the official responding to the New Construction invitation and the person designated as the liaison. To prepare and submit their list of addresses, the New Construction Program liaisons can opt to receive: • The Geographic Update Partnership Software (GUPS) and/or Census Bureau spatial data (downloadable or on CD/ DVD). • Reference PDF maps on CD/DVD. Participants may also use their own software to create a computer-readable list of addresses in the prescribed format. Participants use the Census Bureau provided maps or spatial data as a reference for assigning census tract and block codes (geocodes) for each submitted address. The estimated time burden for the invitation stage is one hour per participant. New Construction Program Participant Review Materials In September 2019, the Census Bureau will deliver review materials to registered governments. New Construction liaisons will receive the materials in the format that they selected on the registration form. Participating governments are required to submit full address data for VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:11 Oct 04, 2018 Jkt 247001 qualifying structures, including individual unit numbers for multiunit structures (e.g., Apt. 1, Apt. 2, Unit 1, and Unit 2), and geographic information such as the census tract and block numbers, or geographic coordinates. The typical New Construction Program Participant Review Materials package contains the following: • Cover Letter. • Address List Template. • GUPS Quick Start Guide. • Digital Quick Start Guide. • GUPS Digital Respondent Guide. • Digital Respondent Guide. • Read-me.txt file for GUPS. • Read-me.txt file for Digital. • Partnership Shapefiles. Participants must submit their New Construction Program address list to the Census Bureau within 45 calendar days of receipt of the New Construction Program review materials. The New Construction Program 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 Program PDF or digital (shapefile) maps. This stage occurs in September 2019. The average estimated time burden to review, add, and submit the New Construction Program address list to the Census Bureau is 47 hours per participant. New Construction Program Address Updates From September through November 2019, the Census Bureau processes all files received from participants. Files that are submitted in the proper format and contain addresses with complete geocoding data are compared with the Census Bureau’s census address list, extracted from the Master Address File. The Census Bureau verifies whether the addresses received were already in the Master Address File and mails decennial census forms to any participant-supplied addresses that were not in the census address list. The census enumeration process determines the final housing unit status and population for each unit. Closeout The Census Bureau provides a closeout email to governments that registered to participate and provided updates. Participating governments will not receive detailed feedback from the Census Bureau. In addition, the Census Bureau sends a thank you email or letter to governments that provided updates after the deadline. This documentation notifies them of the receipt of their submission but also informs the PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 governments that the Census Bureau cannot use the submission for the New Construction Program.

Industry analysts use these data for market analysis, economic forecasting, identifying business opportunities, product development, and business planning. Planned changes from the previous ACES are the elimination of detailed capital expenditures by type of structure and type of equipment. These data are collected in years ending in -2 and -7, concurrently with the Economic Census. They are not in scope of this notice, which covers ACES data collection for 2018 through 2020.
