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

LUCA was approved on December 15, 2016. Since then, the program has revised some of the review phase materials. These revisions are due to minor programmatic changes and to streamline communication between the Census Bureau and LUCA participants. These changes include:

• Minor revisions on all letters attached.

• A new reminder letter (D-2082) to remind participants of their deadline.

• Combining two letters (D-2084 and D-2086) into one (D-2084) for streamlined communication.

There is no substantive change to the program resulting from these changes.

Burden

The burden of LUCA is unchanged by this update.

Attachment:

Attachment A: LUCA Revisions to Mail Materials includes the following:

D-2080 - Password Letter to liaisons.

D-2081 - Reminder Letter: 30 day reminder, sent 30 days after receipt of materials, to liaison.

D-2082 (new) – Reminder Letter: 90 day reminder, sent 90 days after receipt of materials, to liaison as a reminder that they have 30 days left to review materials.

D-2087 - Reminder to those participants who did not submit updates to either destroy or return materials and send us their Destruction or Return of Title 13 Materials Form, D-2012.
