these products will help to determine
the final content and design for the 2020
Census Detailed DHC–A and Detailed
DHC–B. The tribal consultation
meetings reflect the Census Bureau’s
continuous commitment to strengthen
nation-to-nation relationships with
federally recognized tribes. The Census
Bureau’s procedures for outreach,
notice, and consultation ensure
involvement of tribes to the extent
practicable and permitted by law before
making decisions or implementing
policies, rules, or programs that affect
federally recognized tribal governments.
These meetings are open to citizens of
federally recognized tribes by invitation.
The Census Bureau provided questions
in preparation for the tribal
consultations focused on the Detailed
DHC–A and Detailed DHC–B.
In that regard, the Census Bureau is
asking tribal governments review the
proposed tables, levels of geography,
and product design. Helpful feedback
would include tables and geographies
that are needed, how design changes
may impact your work, and ways the
Census Bureau can continue to
effectively communicate with tribal
leaders about these products. The
purpose of the tribal consultations is to
hear tribes’ recommendations.
DATES: The Census Bureau will conduct
two tribal consultations on Tuesday,
October 18, 2022, from 1 to 3 p.m.
AKDT. The second tribal consultation
will be on Monday, October 31, 2022,
from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. PDT. Any
questions or topics to be considered in
the tribal consultation meetings must be
received in writing via email by
Monday, October 10, 2022.

consultations on October 18, 2022, in
Anchorage, Alaska and October 31,
2022, in Sacramento, California, with
federally recognized tribes, so tribes can
provide feedback on the content and
design of the 2020 Census Detailed
Demographic and Housing
Characteristics File A (Detailed DHC–A)
and Detailed Demographic and Housing
Characteristics File B (Detailed DHC–B).
These two products are the successor
products to the American Indian and
Alaska Native Summary File (AIANSF)
that was produced in previous censuses.
The Detailed DHC–A provides
population counts and sex by age
statistics for approximately 370 detailed
racial and ethnic groups, such as
German, Lebanese, Jamaican, Chinese,
Native Hawaiian, and Mexican, as well
as about 1,200 detailed American Indian
and Alaska Native tribal and village
population groups, such as Native
Village of Hooper Bay (Naparyarmiut)
and Navajo Nation. The Detailed DHC–
B provides household type and tenure
information for the same detailed race
and ethnicity groups and American
Indian and Alaska Native tribal and
village population groups.
In accordance with Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments, issued
November 6, 2000, the Census Bureau
has adhered 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, the Census Bureau is seeking
comments on the content and design of
the 2020 Census Detailed DHC–A and
Detailed DHC–B, which include data on
detailed race and ethnic groups and
American Indian and Alaska Native
tribes and villages.
Detailed Demographic and Housing
Characteristics File A (Detailed DHC–A)
• Subjects: Population counts and sex
by age statistics for approximately 370
detailed racial and ethnic groups, such
as German, Lebanese, Jamaican,
Chinese, Native Hawaiian, and Mexican,
as well as about 1,200 detailed

tribal and village population groups,
such as Native Village of Hooper Bay
(Naparyarmiut) and Navajo Nation.
• The Detailed DHC–A implements
an adaptive design that provides more
detailed statistics for racial and ethnic
groups with larger populations, while at
the same time ensuring sufficient
confidentiality protections.
