Option 2 - Local Address List SubmissionThe Title 13 Local Address List Submission option requires that the participant sign the Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with Title 13, United States Code. The Title 13 Local Address List Submission option is a new LUCA option for the 2010 Census. It is intended for those governments that may not have the time or resources to update the 2010 Census Address List, but wish to review and compare the list to their local address list. Participants that select this option must have the means to secure the Title 13 Census address list and maps. The Title 13 Local Address List Submission participants receive the 2010 Census Address List, the Address Count List, and the maps. The 2010 Census Address List and the Address Count List are only available in a computer-readable format for Option 2. The Census Bureau maps are available as paper or the spatial data as shapefiles. Participants may also elect to use the MAF/TIGER Partnership Software (MTPS).Although the participant receives the 2010 Census Address List containing city-style and noncity-style addresses and the Address Count List, participants can only use these materials for reference purposes. The participant may make updates and/or corrections to the features and boundaries on the Census Bureau maps. If the participant finds that residential addresses are missing and/or differ from the 2010 Census Address List, they must send the Census Bureau a computer-readable file of their local address list (city-style addresses only) in the Census Bureau-defined computer-readable format. The Census Bureau cannot accept a participant's local address list containing noncity-style addresses. A Census Bureau field check called Address Canvassing is planned for Spring 2009 to verify addresses in the census blocks. At this time, the address canvassers will update the 2010 Census Address List and maps. Each government that notifies the Census Bureau of its intent to participate in the 2010 Decennial Census LUCA program has 120 calendar days to conduct its review of LUCA materials. All materials must be returned to the Census Bureau by April 4, 2008. Adhering to this deadline ensures that the Census Bureau can complete all subsequent LUCA and other Census 2010 Address List development steps in a timely manner. Feedback Process for Option 2 (Title 13)After the Address Canvassing operation, the Census Bureau will provide written detailed LUCA Feedback materials to each government that returned a copy of their local city-style address list, and/or updated the Census Bureau maps. The schedule for the delivery of the Feedback materials to the jurisdictions is Summer/Fall 2009. The Census Bureau will provide the Feedback materials after the following steps have been completed:
The detailed Feedback materials the Census Bureau will provide to each participating government will document which of its addresses the Census Bureau found and which it did not find. These materials include: (1) a detailed Feedback Processing Report containing tallies of recommendations submitted by the participating government and tallies of actions taken by the Census Bureau for that government; (2) an updated 2010 Census Address List, (3) an updated Address Count List documenting the number of addresses in each census block within the jurisdiction; and (4) a set of updated Census Bureau maps for the jurisdiction. The Census Bureau's 2010 Decennial Census LUCA Program is officially completed at the time the Census Bureau provides the detailed Feedback materials. If the participant disagrees with the LUCA Feedback, they may file an appeal. The participant may not appeal the results of the Address Canvassing operation for any addresses they did not submit. (See the Appeal Process for the Option 2 (Title 13) Local Address List Submission, below.) Appeal Process for Option 2 (Title 13)If a participant disagrees with the LUCA Feedback materials regarding a specific address or group of addresses, or the count of addresses in one or more specific census blocks, the participant may seek a formal review of the Feedback materials through the Appeal process.Only those governments that participated in the Title 13 Local Address List Submission and completed a review of the Feedback materials are eligible to file an Appeal. Appeals must be filed within 30 business days after receiving the Feedback materials. Appeals filed after the deadline will be denied. To file an Appeal on the LUCA Feedback 2010 Census Address List, each eligible jurisdiction must provide the following two items of information for each specific address it believes to be missing from or misrepresented on the Feedback list: (1) the specific address(es) or location description(s) of the housing unit(s) the participant believes is missing, including, for each address, the 2010 Census block number and the LUCA tracking number, and (2) the specific location of each "missing" address by adding a "map spot" and accompanying map spot number on the Feedback map. An eligible 2010 Decennial Census LUCA government may appeal to
the Census Address List Appeals Office, and must submit a duplicate
copy of its additional evidence to the Census Bureau's Regional
Office responsible for the jurisdiction. (After notification from
the Appeals Office to the Census Bureau, the Census Bureau will have
15 calendar days to submit its evidence concerning the appealing
government to the Census Address List Appeals Office.) The Appeals
Office will conclude its review of appeals submissions in January
2010. |
