A variety of geographic partnerships
have been developed by the U.S. Census Bureau to include state,
local and tribal entities in the update of census geographic
information, which includes features, addresses and boundaries. The
Census Bureau benefits from state or local knowledge, and the state
or local entities benefit from a more accurate census geographic
base for the 2010 Decennial Census, the American Community Survey
(ACS), and other censuses and surveys.
The adjustment in burden is due
to the fact that new programs will be conducted under the generic
clearance. However, the burden of those new programs is less than
the burden of those programs that were done under the clearance
previously.
