Request for Non-Substantive Change to The 2020 Census Local Update of Census Addresses Operation (LUCA)

OMB Control No. 0607-0994

U.S. Department of Commerce

U.S. Census Bureau

Purpose

The 2020 Census Local Update of Census Addresses Operation (LUCA) is the only opportunity offered to tribal, state, and local governments to review and comment on the U.S. Census Bureau's residential address list for their jurisdiction prior to the 2020 Census. The Census Bureau relies on a complete and accurate address list to reach every living quarter and associated population for inclusion in the census. The Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-430) authorizes the LUCA.

Background

The LUCA OMB package was approved on 12/16/2016. The approved LUCA OMB package included the respondent guides in draft form. The documents listed below now exist in final form and replace the draft respondent guides included in the approved OMB package. This Non-Substantive Change Request is a request to update the respondent guides in the OMB package.
