Suspension of the Geographically

Notice of suspension of
program.
ACTION:
This document serves as
notice to state and local governments
and to other federal agencies that
beginning on January 1, 2019, the
Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau)
will suspend the Geographically
Updated Population Certification
Program for three years—the year
preceding the decennial census, the
decennial census year, and the year
following it—to accommodate the 2020
Census operation. During this time, the
Census Bureau will not provide the
operations necessary to determine the
updated April 1, 2010 census
population and housing unit counts for
entities that: Annex territory;
incorporate or organize as counties; or
incorporate or organize as boroughs,
cities, towns, villages, townships, or
other general purpose governments.
However, the Census Bureau will
consider all requests for population and
housing count updates received in
writing before January 1, 2019.
DATES: As of January 1, 2019, the
Geographically Updated Population
Certification Program will be
suspended. It will remain suspended
until December 31, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Darryl Cohen, Population Division, U.S.
Census Bureau, 4600 Silver Hill Road,
Washington, DC 20233, telephone (301)
763–2419, email Darryl.T.Cohen@
census.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Census Bureau first began to make
updated decennial census count
determinations to reflect geographic
boundary changes in 1972 in response
to the requests of local governments to
establish eligibility for participation in
the General Revenue Sharing Program,
authorized under Public Law 92–512. At
that time, the Census Bureau established
a fee-for-service program enabling
entities with annexations to obtain
updated decennial census population
counts that reflected the population
living in the annexed areas. The Census
Bureau also received funding from the
U.S. Department of the Treasury to
make those determinations for larger
annexations that met prescribed criteria
and for new incorporations. The General
Revenue Sharing Program ended on
September 30, 1986, but the certification
program continued into 1988 with
support for the Census Bureau. The
program was suspended to
accommodate the 1990 Census
operations and resumed in 1992. The
Census Bureau supported the program
through fiscal year 1995 for cities with
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
53029
large annexations and through fiscal
year 1996 for new incorporated places.
The program was continued on a fee-forservice basis only until June 1, 1998, at
which time it was suspended for the
2000 Census (see the Federal Register,
63 FR 27706, May 20, 1998). In 2002,
the program was resumed and has since
been referred to as the Geographically
Updated Population Certification
Program or GUPCP (see the Federal
Register, 67 FR 72095, December 4,
2002). As was the case for two previous
censuses, the program was suspended to
accommodate the 2010 Census
operations (see the Federal Register, 72
FR 46602, August 21, 2007). The
suspension began on January 1, 2008
and ended on December 31, 2012 (see
the Federal Register, 78 FR 54863,
September 6, 2013).
The Census Bureau is suspending the
program for the year immediately
preceding, the year of, and year
following the 2020 Census to permit
allocation of necessary resources to the
decennial census. However, all requests
for population and housing count
updates received before January 1, 2019
will be considered. The Census Bureau
will announce in a future Federal
Register notice the date that the
program will resume. The Census
Bureau plans to resume the program in
the year 2022, after 2020 Census data
become available, for those entities that
desire the service provided that any and
all costs associated with this work are
borne by the local governmental entity.
Authority to continue this program on
a fee-for-service basis is contained in
Title 13, United States Code, Section 8.

On June 27, 2017, in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of
Florida, Luis Antonio Urdaneta Pozo
(‘‘Pozo’’) was convicted of violating
Section 38 of the Arms Export Control
Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 (2012)) (‘‘AECA’’).
Specifically, Pozo was convicted of
knowingly and willfully exporting from

the United States to Venezuela items
designated as defense articles on the
United States Munitions List, namely,
handguns and ammunition of various
calibers, without the required U.S.
Department of State licenses. Pozo was
sentenced to 63 months in prison, three
years of supervised release, and a $100
special assessment.
Section 766.25 of the Export
Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or
‘‘Regulations’’) 1 provides, in pertinent
part, that ‘‘[t]he Director of the Office of
Exporter Services, in consultation with
the Director of the Office of Export
Enforcement, may deny the export
privileges of any person who has been
convicted of a violation of . . . section
38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22
U.S.C. 2778).’’ 15 CFR 766.25(a). The
denial of export privileges under this
provision may be for a period of up to
10 years from the date of the conviction.
15 CFR 766.25(d). In addition, Section
750.8 of the Regulations states that the
Bureau of Industry and Security’s Office
of Exporter Services may revoke any
Bureau of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’)
licenses previously issued pursuant to
the Act or the Regulations in which the
person had an interest at the time of his/
her conviction.
BIS has received notice of Pozo’s
conviction for violating Section 38 of
the AECA, and has provided notice and
an opportunity for Pozo to make a
written submission to BIS, as provided
in Section 766.25 of the Regulations.
BIS has not received a submission from
Pozo.
Based upon my review and
consultations with BIS’s Office of
Export Enforcement, including its
Director, and the facts available to BIS,
1 The Regulations are currently codified in the
Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730–
774 (2018). The Regulations originally issued under
the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended,
50 U.S.C. 4601–4623 (Supp. III 2015) (‘‘the EAA’’),
which lapsed on August 21, 2001. The President,
through Executive Order 13,222 of August 17, 2001
(3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which has been
extended by successive Presidential Notices, the
most recent being that of August 8, 2018 (83 FR
39,871 (Aug. 13, 2018)), continued the Regulations
in full force and effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701,
et seq. (2012) (‘‘IEEPA’’). On August 13, 2018, the
President signed into law the John S. McCain
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2019, which includes the Export Control Reform
Act of 2018, Title XVII, Subtitle B of Public Law
115–232 (‘‘ECRA’’). While Section 1766 of ECRA
repeals the provisions of the EAA (except for three
sections which are inapplicable here), Section 1768
of ECRA provides, in pertinent part, that all rules
and regulations that were made or issued under the
EAA, including as continued in effect pursuant to
IEEPA, and were in effect as of ECRA’s date of
enactment (August 13, 2018), shall continue in
effect according to their terms until modified,
superseded, set aside, or revoked through action
undertaken pursuant to the authority provided
under ECRA.
