The Maricopa Association of
Governments (MAG) requested the Census Bureau to conduct the CSMA
to provide housing unit and population estimates for September 1,
2005 for Maricopa County, 24 designated jurisdictions, 5 sub-areas
for Phoenix, Arizona, 2 sub-areas for Mesa, Arizona, and the
balance of county. The MAG requested that we produce the above
estimates by a survey of housing units and a 100 percent
enumeration of the non-housing unit population. The MAG will use
the estimates for revenue sharing purposes. The Census Bureau will
not certify the estimates nor use them in our official population
estimates prog.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
