Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 194 / Friday, October 5, 2018 / Notices
The substantive requirements of the
2012 Planning Rule (36 CFR 219) that
are applicable to the amendments are in
sections 219.8(a) and (b) (ecological and
social and economic sustainability),
219.9 (diversity of plant and animal
communities), and 219.10(a) (integrated
resource management for ecosystem
services and multiple use) have been
incorporated into the proposed
amendment.

Purpose and Need for Action
The purpose of the proposed action is
to incorporate new information and to
improve the clarity, efficiency, and
implementation of greater sage-grouse
plans, including better alignment with
BLM and state plans, in order to benefit
greater sage-grouse conservation on the
landscape scale. The need for further
plan amendments is that the Forest
Service has gained new information and
understanding from new science, as
well as having received approximately
55,000 comments from the 2017 Notice
of Intent, approximately 8,700
comments from the 2018 Supplemental
NOI, and comments from within-agency
scoping and monitoring and from
coordinating with the Western
Governors’ Association Sage Grouse
Task Force.
Proposed Action and Alternatives
The Forest Service analyzed three
alternatives. Under Alternative 1, the No
Action Alternative, the Forest Service
would not amend current land
management plans. This alternative
retains sagebrush focal areas and all
other aspects of the plans. Alternative 2,
the Preferred Alternative, is the
proposed action and makes
modifications to the No Action
Alternative. Specifically, the Preferred
Alternative makes modifications to land
management plans within the issue
areas of: Habitat management area
designation, including designating
sagebrush focal areas as Priority Habitat
Management Areas compensatory
mitigation and net conservation gain;
minerals plan components and waivers;
exceptions and modifications; desired
conditions; livestock grazing guidelines;
adaptive management; treatment of
invasive species; and changes to clarify
text and eliminate errors and
redundancies. Alternative 3, the State of
Utah Alternative, incorporates all
aspects of Alternative 2, with the
addition of two additional modifications
to plans within the state of Utah.
Specifically, the Forest Service would
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:11 Oct 04, 2018
Jkt 247001
remove the General Habitat
Management Areas (GHMA) designation
from Forest Service lands in Utah and
would also remove the Anthro
Mountain management area from habitat
management area designation on the
Ashley National Forest.
The Draft EIS analyzes the reasonably
foreseeable effects of these changes. The
entire text of the Draft EIS can be found
on the Intermountain Region home
page: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/r4/
home/?cid=stelprd3843381.
Responsible Officials
The responsible officials who would
approve plan amendments are the
Regional Foresters for the Intermountain
and Rocky Mountain Regions.
Public Comment Opportunity
The public is encouraged to comment
on the Draft EIS and proposed plan
amendments. Comments received in
response to this solicitation, including
names and addresses of those who
comment, will be part of the public
record for this proposed action.
Comments submitted anonymously will
be accepted and considered; however,
anonymous comments will not provide
the Agency with the ability to provide
the respondent with subsequent
environmental documents.

Needs and Uses: The 2020 Census
New Construction Program is one of the
seven voluntary geographic partnership
programs that collect geographic
boundaries and residential addresses to
update the U.S. Census Bureau’s Master
Address File/Topologically Integrated
Geographic Encoding and Referencing
database. In order to deliver
questionnaires, locate residences, and
tabulate statistics by localities, the
Census Bureau must have accurate
addresses and boundaries. The Census
Bureau also uses its geographic database
to link demographic data from surveys
and the decennial census to locations
and areas, such as cities, congressional
and legislative districts, and counties.
The census block is the geographic
building block for all Census Bureau
geographic boundaries. Geographic
programs such as the Redistricting Data
Program update the boundaries of
census blocks. The addresses collected
in the 2020 Local Update of Census
Addresses Operation (LUCA), the New
Construction Program, and other
geocoding processes place households
in a specific census block.
While the geographic programs differ
in requirements, time frame, and
participants, the New Construction
Program and the other geographic
programs all follow the same basic
process:
1. The Census Bureau invites eligible
participants to the program.
2. If they elect to participate in the
program, participants receive program
materials, in this case, respondent
guides, address templates, spatial data
in PDF or shapefile format, and/or free
customized mapping software.
3. Participants review the materials
and submit their addresses in the
Census Bureau’s predefined format.
4. The Census Bureau updates its
address list with updates from
participants.
5. The Census Bureau uses its address
list to conduct the 2020 Census and
tabulate statistics.
The purpose of the New Construction
Program is to account for new housing
units, group quarters (GQs), and
transitory locations for which
construction is in progress during or
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:11 Oct 04, 2018
Jkt 247001
after March 1, 2018 1 and completion is
expected by Census Day, April 1, 2020.
The Census Bureau collects city-style
addresses for the newly built housing
units, GQs, and transitory locations in
blocks where the Census Bureau plans
to mail the 2020 Census questionnaires
and households are expected to use a
self-response mode to complete the
census.
The Census Bureau conducts LUCA
and the New Construction Program as
successive partnership operations to
assure the completeness and accuracy of
the Census Bureau’s address list. These
operations allow participating
governments the opportunity to provide
input to improve the Census Bureau’s
address list and to ensure accurate and
complete enumeration of their
communities.
LUCA and the New Construction
Program are complementary, however,
there is no dependency on either
program for participation in the other.
• LUCA participants who agree to
receive the address list for their
jurisdiction receive Title 13 protected
materials. Participants review the
address list and submit their validated
or revised address list to the Census
Bureau between spring and summer
2018.
• The Census Bureau processes and
validates the LUCA updates using a
combination of independent address
sources, such as the United States Postal
Service’s list of delivery addresses or
the 2020 Census Address Canvassing
operation. Upon completion of the
LUCA address validations by April of
2019, the Census Bureau provides
address-level feedback to partners,
allowing them to appeal any
determination made by the Census
Bureau to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) LUCA Appeals Office.
• In April 2019, the Census Bureau
invites tribal, state, and local
governments to designate a New
Construction liaison to participate in the
program. The Census Bureau will
publish the list of eligible governments
on the New Construction Program
website by fall 2018. Eligible
1 In
response to a public comment on the 60-Day
Federal Register Notice (FRN), the Census Bureau
will accept new addresses from respondents from
March 1, 2018 instead of March 2019.

governments have addresses in areas of
the country where the Census Bureau
plans for a self-response enumeration
strategy. The addresses in these areas
are primarily city-style and mailable
formats. The Census Bureau confines
the scope of the New Construction
Program to the submission of addresses
for newly constructed living quarters
that began or will begin construction in
the year leading up to the census.
Between September and October 2019,2
tribal, state, and local governments
identify addresses for housing units,
GQs, and transitory locations for which
construction is in progress during or
after March 1, 2018 and that are
expected to be closed to the elements
(final roof, windows, and doors) and
therefore potentially inhabitable by
Census Day, April 1, 2020. No other
updates, including streets or
boundaries, will be accepted.
Through the New Construction
Program, the Census Bureau improves
the accuracy and completeness of the
address list used to conduct the 2020
Census by utilizing the local knowledge
of tribal, state, and local governments.
The Census Address List Improvement
Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–430)
strengthened the Census Bureau’s
partnership capabilities with
participating governments by expanding
the methods the Census Bureau uses to
collect address information from
participants.
The New Construction Program does
not provide Title 13 protected addresses
to participants, however, when
participants submit address data for
new housing to be included in the 2020
Census, the Census Bureau will protect
the submitted data under Title 13,
U.S.C. Section 9, which provides for the
confidential treatment of census-related
information, including individual
address and structure coordinates.
Participation in the New Construction
Program is voluntary.
The New Construction Program
includes four phases:
1. New Construction Program
Invitation Phase.
2 The Census Bureau updates the New
Construction schedule in the 30-Day FRN. In the
previously published 60-Day FRN, participants
were expected to complete this stage between June
and August 2019.

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

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

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 governments that the Census Bureau cannot use the
submission for the New Construction Program. Closeout occurs between
December 2019 and January 2020.
Affected Public: Tribal, state, and local governments.
