Subject: YYYY Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) State Certification Program – Action Requested

Dear Governor ,
Earlier this month, we contacted you regarding our Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS)
State Certification Program. This program ensures that the Census Bureau’s inventory of local
governments is accurate and that the boundary changes reported to BAS comply with your
state laws.
As part of the BAS State Certification Program, we compile listings of boundary changes
reported to the previous BAS cycle by governments within your state and distribute them to the
governor-appointed State Certifying Official (SCO). If state law requires local governments to
report boundary updates to the state, the SCO is responsible for reviewing the listings and
certifying that the information is correct.
The previous email included the BAS State Certification SCO Appointment Form. As of today, we
have not yet received your state’s completed form. Returning this form ensures the Census
Bureau has a contact for the BAS State Certification Program.
Please return the completed SCO Appointment Form by . Contact us if you have
questions or would like another copy of the SCO Appointment Form.
