**2010 Census Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program**

The Local Update of Census Addresses program, also known as LUCA, is a
partnership program that will allow the Census Bureau to benefit from
local knowledge in developing its Master Address File (MAF). Local
governments can contribute to a more complete and accurate census for
their jurisdiction by reviewing and commenting on the list of housing
unit and group quarters addresses that the Census Bureau will use to
deliver questionnaires within their community.

The LUCA program is made possible by the [Census Address List
Improvement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-430)]{.underline} which
authorizes designated representatives of local, state, and tribal
governments to review the addresses contained in the MAF. The program
operates as follows:

-   The local government will, upon invitation, designate a liaison to
    review the portion of the Census address list covering the area
    under its jurisdiction. The liaison will be subject to the same
    restrictions as census workers, prohibiting the disclosure of census
    information. The address list is confidential under [Title
    13]{.underline} and participants must review a set of [security
    guidelines]{.underline} and sign a [confidentiality
    agreement]{.underline} promising to protect the confidentiality of
    the addresses.

-   The Census Bureau will send the liaison an address listing from the
    MAF (in either paper or computer-readable form), the corresponding
    maps, and a tally of MAF records for each census block in their
    jurisdiction.

-   In areas with city-style addresses, the liaison can provide input
    regarding individual addresses on the list, as well as addresses
    missing from the list that should be added. The Census Bureau will
    verify this input during the Address Canvassing Operation and
    provide feedback to the participants about the results.

-   In areas with noncity-style addresses (e.g., rural route and box
    number or post office box numbers), the liaisons will provide input
    regarding the completeness and accuracy of the housing unit and
    group quarters counts for each census block. The Census Bureau will
    revisit each census block during the Address Canvassing Operation
    and update the Census address list. The Census Bureau will provide a
    revised tally and updated address list to the participants during
    the feedback phase.

-   Public Law 103-430 allows the local participants to appeal final
    Census Bureau decisions. An agency independent of the Census Bureau
    will review and decide on all appeals prior to Census Day, April 1,
    2010.

The Census Bureau is making a number of improvements to the 2010 LUCA
program that will be tested during the [2008 Census Dress
Rehearsal]{.underline}.

-   There will be a single review cycle for all addresses versus the
    multiple cycle of review that was used for Census 2000.

-   There will be a longer review period: 120 calendar days versus 90
    calendar days.

-   There will be more advance notice allowing the local governments to
    prepare.

-   The Census Bureau will provide more comprehensive communication and
    make periodic contact to gauge each local government's progress and
    answer questions.

-   The two Dress Rehearsal state governments will be offered an
    opportunity to directly participate in LUCA.

-   The Census Bureau will offer three options for participation:

    -   [Option 1]{.underline} - Full address list review, which
        requires the entity to sign a confidentiality agreement;

    -   [Option 2]{.underline} - Provide your local address list (only
        city-style addresses) for Census Bureau matching and feedback
        (requires the entity to sign a confidentiality agreement)

    -   [Option 3]{.underline} - Provide your local address list (only
        city-style addresses) for Census Bureau matching and [no
        feedback]{.underline} (no Title 13 confidentiality agreement)

```{=html}

```
-   In addition to offering state and local governments the option to
    participate using paper census maps and address listings,
    computer-readable address lists, and digital representations of the
    census maps in [shapefile format]{.underline} that requires a
    Geographic Information System (GIS) software package, the Census
    Bureau will offer the [MAF/TIGER Partnership Software]{.underline}
    application that combines the census address list, address count
    list, and maps in an easy to use GIS software package.

**The Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994**

**(P.L. 103-430)**

The Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-- 430),
approved on

October 31, 1994, changed the Census Bureau's decennial census address
list development procedures. The Act expanded the methods the Census
Bureau could use to exchange information with local and tribal
governments in order to support its overall residential address list
development and improvement efforts. The Act was primarily designed to
improve the accuracy of address lists for the censuses conducted by the
Census Bureau and household surveys through this partnership, and as
such, the Act's provisions are directed to several areas: (1) The
publication by the Secretary of Commerce regarding standards for content
and structure of address information by which tribal, state, and local
governments might submit for developing a national address list; (2)
Rules governing tribal, state, and local governments access to census
address information for the purpose of verifying accuracy of the
information for census purposes; (3) Development of an appeals process,
and; (4) An amendment to existing law that specifies that the Postal
Service shall provide to the Secretary of Commerce for use by the Census
Bureau such address information, as may be determined by the Secretary
to be appropriate for any census or survey.

The Act authorized the Census Bureau to share residential individual
addresses with officials of tribal, state, and local governments who
agreed to pledges and conditions of confidentiality. Prior to the Census
2000, the Census Bureau was limited to providing block summary totals of
addresses to tribal and local governments. The Census 2000 marked the
first decennial where residential address lists could be shared with
tribal and local governments, provided they signed the required
confidentiality agreement.

The 2008 Census Dress Rehearsal LUCA program will offer local
governments the option to participate using paper census maps and
address listings, computer-readable address lists, and digital
representations of the census maps in [shapefile format]{.underline}
that requires a Geographic Information System (GIS) software package.
For the 2010 Census LUCA program, participants will also be able to use
a [MAF/TIGER Partnership Software]{.underline} application that combines
the census address list and maps in an easy to use GIS software package.
This software currently is under development and not available as an
option for the Dress Rehearsal LUCA program. The [2008 Census Dress

**MAF/TIGER Partnership Software**

The purpose of the MAF/TIGER Partnership Software (MTPS) is to provide
our local governments with a GIS application that has customized
functionality required by each of the following Census Bureau geographic
partnership programs: LUCA, Participant Statistical Areas Program,
Boundary and Annexation Survey, School District Review Program, and the
Redistricting Data Program (Voting Districts). Ease of use was our top
priority in the design of this application. A participant with a
stand-alone personal computer with a Windows 98 operating system (the
minimal operating system required), and/or limited or no GIS experience
could use this application. Internet access is not required.

The MTPS will make its debut with the 2010 LUCA program. The participant
will have the ability to view and update the spatial data, the address
list (pending the participation option selected by the participant), and
the address count list.

You can find more information about the MTPS via the internet at the
Census Bureau Acquisition Website: the announcement of the opening of
Phase I, *Down-Select Process*, for the acquisition of the PC/Web Based
Application Software Application Support Task (currently known as the
MTPS), as described in the [Request for Solutions (RFS)
#T1-0004]{.underline}. Attachment 1, Section C -- "Statement of Need and
Performance Required" contains the high level requirements for the
software. At the onset of the post-award phase of the contract,
[detailed requirements]{.underline} were developed to customize the MTPS
for the 2010 Census LUCA program, as well as [additional geographic
participant programs]{.underline} sponsored by the Census Bureau.

**LUCA Participation Options**

[Option 1 -- Full Address List Review with Count Review]{.underline}

[Option 2 -- Local Address List Submission]{.underline}

[Option 3 -- Non-Title 13 Local Address List Submission]{.underline}

**Option 1 -- Full Address List Review with Count Review**

The Full Address List Review with Count Review option requires that the
participant sign the Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with [Title
13, United States Code]{.underline}. This option is intended for those
jurisdictions that have the time and resources to review and comment on
the 2010 Census Address List. The Full Address List Review participants
receive the 2010 Census Address List, the Address Count by Census Block
List, and maps of their jurisdiction. Participants that select this
option must have the means to secure the Title 13, 2010 Census Address
List and maps. The 2010 Census Address List and the Address Count by
Census Block List are available as a paper or computer-readable product.
The participant is given the opportunity to elect to receive either a
paper list or computer-readable file. The Census Bureau maps are
available as paper only. Although the 2010 Census Address List contains
city-style and noncity-style addresses, participants can only add and/or
provide updates for city-style addresses using add, delete, correction,
out of jurisdiction, nonresidential, or other living quarters codes.
Participants may also challenge the address count for a census block on
the Address Count by Census Block List. Participants
[cannot]{.underline} provide both updates for individual address on the
2010 Census Address List [and]{.underline} challenge the count of
addresses on the Address Count by Census Block List within the [same
census block]{.underline}. For example, if a participant knows that the
area covered by a census block(s) has more housing unit addresses than
the Census Bureau indicates, and contains a majority of noncity-style
addresses, it is suggested that the participant indicate an address
count challenge on the Address Count by Census Block List.

A field check of all addresses, called address canvassing, performed by
temporary Census employees, is planned for spring 2009 to verify housing
unit addresses in the census blocks. At this time, the address
canvassers will add to the 2010 Census Address List any additional
addresses they find, and make other needed corrections to the 2010
Census Address list and related Census Bureau maps.

Each government that notifies the Census Bureau of its intent to
participate in the 2010 Census LUCA program has [120 calendar
days]{.underline} to conduct its review of LUCA materials. All materials
must be returned to the Census Bureau by [April 4, 2008]{.underline}.
Adhering to this deadline ensures that the Census Bureau can complete
all subsequent LUCA and other 2010 Census Address List development steps
in a timely manner.

**Detailed Feedback/Final Determination Process for the**

**Full Address List Review with Count Review Option**

The Census Bureau will provide timely, written Detailed Feedback/Final
Determination materials to each tribal, state, or local government that
returned updates (additions, corrections, deletions, etc.) to city-style
addresses on either the paper or computer-readable 2010 Census Address
List; and/or challenged housing unit address counts on the paper or
computer-readable Address Count by Census Block List; and/or updated the
Census Bureau maps. The schedule for the delivery of Detailed
Feedback/Final Determination materials to the jurisdictions is the
summer/fall 2009. The Census Bureau will provide the Detailed
Feedback/Final Determination materials after the following steps have
been completed:

-   For jurisdictions that submitted new addresses or updated the 2010
    Census Address List, the Census Bureau will review and
    computer-match each participant-suggested address addition and
    correction.

-   The Census Bureau will send staff out into the field to conduct the
    address canvassing operation and also verify the validity of the
    participant suggested-address updates (additions, corrections,
    deletions, etc.). The address canvassing operation will ensure that
    all address updates actually exist and that they are assigned to the
    correct census block.

-   For participants that submitted challenges on the Address Count by
    Census Block List, the address canvassing operation will verify the
    existence and location of every address in every challenged block.

The Detailed Feedback/Final Determination materials the Census Bureau
will provide to each participating government will document which of its
additions, corrections, deletions, etc. the Census Bureau found and
which it did not find. The materials will also document whether the
Census Bureau matched the address count for census blocks challenged by
the participant. These materials will include (1) a Detailed
Feedback/Final Determination Processing Report containing tallies of
recommendations submitted by the participating government and tallies of
actions taken by the Census Bureau for that government; (2) an updated
2010 Census Address List covering the specific address additions,
corrections, deletions, etc. submitted by the participant; (3) an
updated Address Count by Census Block List documenting the number of
housing unit addresses in each census block within the jurisdiction; and
(4) a set of updated Census Bureau maps for the jurisdiction. The Census
Bureau's 2010 Census LUCA Program will be officially completed at the
time the Census Bureau provides the Detailed Feedback/Final
Determination materials to the participant. If the participant disagrees
with the LUCA Detailed Feedback/Final Determination materials, they may
file an appeal. The participant may not Appeal addresses they did not
add, correct, or challenge prior to the address canvassing operation.
(See the Appeal Process for the Full Address Review Option below.)

**Appeal Process for the**

**Full Address Review with Count Review**

If a participant disagrees with the Detailed Feedback/Final
Determination materials regarding the existence or location of a
specific address or group of addresses, or the count of addresses in one
or more specific census blocks, the participant may seek a formal review
of the Detailed Feedback/Final Determination materials through the
Appeal process.

Only those jurisdictions that participated in the Full Address Review
Option and completed a review of the Detailed Feedback/Final
Determination materials are eligible to file an Appeal. Appeals must be
filed within 30 business days after receiving the Detailed
Feedback/Final Determination materials. Appeals filed after the deadline
will be denied.

To file an Appeal on the Detailed Feedback 2010 Census Address List or
Address Count by Census Block List, each eligible jurisdiction must
provide the following two items of information for each specific
address(es) it believes to be missing from or misrepresented on the
Detailed Feedback/Final Determination list: (1) the specific address(es)
or location description(s) of the housing unit(s) the participant
believes is missing, including for each address, the 2010 Census block
number and the LUCA tracking number, and (2) the specific location of
each "missing" address by adding a "map spot" and accompanying map spot
number on the Detailed Feedback/Final Determination map.

Eligible governments may appeal only address updates (additions,
corrections, deletions, etc.), and address counts for blocks they
challenged during their initial review of the 2010 Census LUCA Program
materials.

An eligible 2010 Census LUCA jurisdiction may file an appeal to the
Census Address List Appeals Office, and must submit a duplicate copy of
its additional evidence to the Census Bureau's Regional Office
responsible for the jurisdiction. (After notification from the Appeals
Office to the Census Bureau, the Census Bureau will have 15 calendar
days to submit its evidence concerning the appealing government to the
Census Address List Appeals Office.) The Appeals Office will conclude
its review of appeals submissions in January 2009.

**Option 2 -- Local Address List Submission**

The Title 13 Local Address List Submission option requires that the
participant sign the Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with [Title
13, United States Code]{.underline}. The Title 13 Local Address List
Submission option is a new LUCA option for the 2010 Census. It is
intended for those participants that may not have the time or resources
to update the 2010 Census Address List, but wish to review and compare
the list to their local address list. Participants that select this
option must have the means to secure the Title 13, 2010 Census Address
List and maps. The Title 13 Local Address List Submission participants
receive the 2010 Census Address List, the Address Count by Census Block
List, and the Census Bureau maps. The 2010 Census Address List and the
Address Count by Census Block List are available as a paper or
computer-readable product. The participant is given the opportunity to
elect to receive either a paper list or computer-readable file. The
Census Bureau maps are available as paper only.

Although the participant receives the 2010 Census Address List
containing city-style and noncity-style addresses and the Address Count
by Census Block List, participants can only use these materials for
reference purposes. The participant may make updates and/or corrections
to the features and boundaries on the Census Bureau maps. If the
participant finds that residential addresses are missing and/or differ
from the 2010 Census Address List, they must send the Census Bureau a
[computer-readable]{.underline} file of their local address list
(city-style addresses only) in the Census Bureau defined
computer-readable format. The Census Bureau cannot accept a
participant's local address list containing noncity-style addresses. A
Census Bureau field check called address canvassing, which is performed
by temporary Census employees, is planned for spring 2009 to verify
addresses in the census blocks. At this time, the address canvassers
will add to the 2010 Census Address List any additional addresses they
find, and make other needed corrections to the 2010 Census Address List
and related Census Bureau maps.

Each government that notifies the Census Bureau of its intent to
participate in the 2010 Census LUCA program has [120
calendar]{.underline} days to conduct its review of LUCA materials. [All
materials must be returned to the Census Bureau by April 4,
2008.]{.underline} Adhering to this deadline ensures that the Census
Bureau can complete all subsequent LUCA and other Census 2010 address
list development steps in a timely manner.

**Detailed Feedback/Final Determination Process for the**

**Title 13 Local Address List Submission Option**

After the address canvassing operation, the Census Bureau will provide
timely, written Detailed Feedback/Final Determination materials to each
jurisdiction that returned a copy of their local city-style address
list, and/or updated the Census Bureau maps. The schedule for the
delivery of Detailed Feedback/Final Determination materials to the
jurisdictions is the summer/fall 2009. The Census Bureau will provide
the Detailed Feedback/Final Determination materials after the following
steps have been completed:

> The Census Bureau will review and computer-match each local address
> list file submitted by the participants.
>
> The Census Bureau will send staff into the field to conduct address
> canvassing to determine the validity of the participant's addresses.
> The address canvassing operation will ensure that all addresses
> submitted actually exist and that they are assigned to the correct
> census block.

The Detailed Feedback/Final Determination materials the Census Bureau
will provide to each participating government will document which of its
addresses the Census Bureau found and which it did not find. These
materials include: (1) a Detailed Feedback/Final Determination
Processing Report containing tallies of recommendations submitted by the
participating government and tallies of actions taken by the Census
Bureau for that government; (2) an updated 2010 Census Address List, (3)
an updated Address Count by Census Block List documenting the number of
addresses in each census block within the jurisdiction; and (4) a set of
updated Census Bureau maps for the jurisdiction. The Census Bureau's
2010 Census LUCA Program is officially completed at the time the Census
Bureau provides the Detailed Feedback/Final Determination materials. If
the participant disagrees with the LUCA Detailed Feedback/Final
Determination, they may file an appeal. The participant may not appeal
the results of the address canvassing operation for any addresses they
did not submit. (See the Appeal Process for the Title 13 Local Address
List Submission below.)

**Appeals Process for the**

**Title 13 Local Address List Submission**

If a participant disagrees with the Detailed Feedback/Final
Determination materials regarding a specific address or group of
addresses, or the count of addresses in one or more specific census
blocks, the participant may seek a formal review of the Detailed
Feedback/Final Determination materials through the Appeal process.

Only those jurisdictions that participated in the Title 13 Local Address
List Submission and completed a review of the Detailed Feedback/Final
Determination materials are eligible to file an Appeal. Appeals must be
filed within 30 business days after receiving the Detailed
Feedback/Final Determination materials. Appeals filed after the deadline
will be denied.

To file an Appeal on the Detailed Feedback/Final Determination 2010
Census Address List, each eligible jurisdiction must provide the
following two items of information for each specific address(es) it
believes to be missing from or misrepresented on the Detailed
Feedback/Final Determination list: (1) the specific address(es) or
location description(s) of the housing unit(s) the participant believes
is missing, including for each address, the 2010 Census block number and
the LUCA tracking number, and (2) the specific location of each
"missing" address by adding a "map spot" and accompanying map spot
number on the Detailed Feedback/Final Determination map.

An eligible 2010 Census LUCA jurisdiction may appeal to the Census
Address List Appeals Office, and must submit a duplicate copy of its
additional evidence to the Census Bureau's Regional Office responsible
for the jurisdiction. (After notification from the Appeals Office to the
Census Bureau, the Census Bureau will have 15 calendar days to submit
its evidence concerning the appealing government to the Census Address
List Appeals Office.) The Appeals Office will conclude its review of
appeals submissions in January 2009.

**Option 3 -- Non-Title 13 Local Address List Submission**

The Non-Title 13 Local Address List Submission option is a new LUCA
option for the 2010 Census. Under this option the participant chooses
not to receive and review the 2010 Census Address List for their
jurisdiction. The Non-Title 13 Local Address List Submission option does
not require the participant to sign the Confidentiality Agreement. The
participant receives the Address Count by Census Block List. The
participant is given the opportunity to elect to receive either a paper
list or computer-readable file. Although the participant receives the
Address Count by Census Block List, participants can only use this list
for reference purposes; they cannot challenge the address counts on this
list. The participant also receives a set of Census Bureau maps showing
all features, current boundaries, and current census blocks for their
jurisdiction. The maps do not show structure points (map spots), as
structure points are classified as Title 13 information. The participant
can make updates and/or corrections to the features and boundaries on
the Census Bureau maps. If the participant has address updates
(additions, corrections, deletions, etc.) to report to the Census
Bureau, the participant must submit their
[computer-readable]{.underline} local address file containing only
city-style addresses using the Census Bureau defined record layout in a
computer-readable format. The Census Bureau cannot accept a local
address list containing noncity-style addresses.

A Census Bureau field check called address canvassing, performed by
temporary Census employees, is planned for early 2009 to ensure the
validity of the addresses submitted by participants. At this time, the
address canvassers will add to the Census 2010 address list any
additional addresses they find, and make other needed corrections to the
2010 address list and related Census Bureau maps.

Each government that notifies the Census Bureau of its intent to
participate in the 2010 Census LUCA program has 120 calendar days to
conduct its review of LUCA materials. LUCA participants must return all
materials to the Census Bureau by April 4, 2008. Adhering to this
deadline ensures that the Census Bureau can complete all subsequent LUCA
and other Census 2010 Address List development steps in a timely manner.

**Feedback/Final Determination Process for the**

**Non-Title 13 Local Address List Submission**

After the address canvassing operation, the Census Bureau will provide
Feedback/Final Determination materials to each jurisdiction that sent a
copy of their local city-style address list file, and/or updated the
Census Bureau maps. The schedule for the delivery of Feedback/Final
Determination materials to the jurisdictions is summer/fall 2009. The
Census Bureau will provide the Feedback/Final Determination materials
after the following steps have been completed:

> For jurisdictions that submitted their city-style address list, the
> Census Bureau will review and computer-match each participant address.
>
> The Census Bureau will send staff into the field to conduct address
> canvassing to determine the validity of the participant's addresses.
> The address canvassing operation will ensure that all addresses
> submitted actually exist and that they are assigned to the correct
> census block.

The Feedback/Final Determination materials for Non-Title 13 participants
include:

\(1\) an updated Address Count by Census Block List documenting the
number of addresses in each census block within the jurisdiction; and
(2) a set of updated Census Bureau maps for the jurisdiction. The
Feedback/Final Determination does not include a detailed 2010 Census
Address List. The Census Bureau's 2010 Census LUCA Program is officially
completed at the time the Census Bureau provides the Feedback/Final
Determination materials to the participant. The participant cannot file
an Appeal since they do not receive detailed address level feedback and
have no way of knowing what specific addresses are on the final 2010
Census Address List at the completion of the address canvassing
operation.
