“BAS ID:” ,  
The U.S. Census Bureau is now conducting the Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). Do not miss this
opportunity to participate in BAS to ensure that the Census Bureau has current and accurate legal
boundary, name, and status information for your government. Participants may also provide updates to
census designated places.
BAS is a voluntary survey. We strongly encourage your participation in BAS for the following reasons:
•

The Census Bureau uses this boundary information for data collection, tabulation, and
dissemination for the decennial census, American Community Survey (ACS), Population
Estimates Program (PEP), and many other censuses and surveys.

•

The federal government allocates more than $675 billion in federal funds annually for health,
welfare, infrastructure, education, and other federal programs and services. Correct boundaries
ensure governments receive funds appropriately and have the best data available for their
decision-making processes.

Action Step:
•

Review your government’s boundary and respond to BAS using our interactive BAS Annual
Response Form. The form includes all resources and instructions to review boundaries and
respond to BAS.
