Qualifying Urban Areas for Census 2000; Correction

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On May 1, 2002 (67 FR 21962), the Bureau of the Census (Census
Bureau) published a Federal Register Notice listing the areas that
qualified as urbanized areas and urban clusters based on the results of
Census 2000. The Census Bureau is correcting the lists of urbanized
areas and urban clusters, and also is modifying the area and population
of a few urbanized areas and urban clusters by adding small amounts of
territory to selected urbanized areas and urban clusters. Most of the
corrections are the results of clerical errors.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 23, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Marx, Chief, Geography
Division, U.S. Census Bureau, 4700 Silver Hill Road, Stop 7400,
Washington, DC 20233-7400; telephone (301) 457-2131; e-mail at:
ua@geo.census.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 1, 2002 (67 FR 21962), the Census
Bureau published a Federal Register Notice listing the areas that
qualified as urbanized areas and urban clusters based on the results of
Census 2000. The Census Bureau is correcting the lists of urbanized
areas and urban clusters, and also is modifying the area and population
of a few urbanized areas and urban clusters by adding small amounts of
territory to selected urbanized areas and urban clusters.
    The Census Bureau is providing the following corrections to the
original Notice.
    Page 21963, Column 1, Section A.1.: The Census Bureau is removing
Hagat[ntilde]a, GU, from the list of new urbanized areas and
designating the area as an urban cluster. The Census Bureau is making
this correction as a result of a correction to the ``Urban Area
Criteria for Census 2000'' notice (67 FR 11663; March 15, 2002). The
criteria correction is being published in a separate Notice in this
issue of the Federal Register. The criteria correction, which affects
only Guam, excludes the criterion for designating urbanized areas in
Guam and allows urban clusters in Guam to have a population of 50,000
or more.
    Page 21963, Column 1, Section A.1.: The Census Bureau is adding
Hanford, CA, to the list of new urbanized areas. The Hanford, CA,
Urbanized Area includes the area of the former Census 2000 Hanford, CA,
Urban Cluster and the Lemoore, CA, Urban Cluster. The Census Bureau is
making this correction to resolve a clerical error.
    Page 21963, Column 3, Section A.3.: The Census Bureau is merging
the previously identified San Rafael--Novato, CA, Urbanized Area with
the San Francisco--Oakland, CA, Urbanized Area. The text will now read,
``Concord, CA; Livermore, CA; San Francisco--Oakland, CA; and Vallejo,
CA (San Francisco--Oakland, CA).'' The Census Bureau is making this
correction to resolve a clerical error.
    Page 21963, Column 3, Section A.5.: The text for the Anchorage, AK,
note incorrectly referenced the ``Northwest Anchorage, AK urban cluster
(UC).'' The urban cluster name is Anchorage Northeast. The text is
corrected to read ``Anchorage, AK: does not include the separate
Anchorage Northeast, AK urban cluster (UC), which was defined from part
of the 1990 census UA.'' The Census Bureau is making this correction to
resolve a clerical error.
    Page 21965, Column 3, Section B., List of Urbanized Areas:
``Denver--Aurora, CO 1,984,887'' is corrected to read ``Denver--Aurora,
CO 1,984,889.'' This correction is made to resolve a clerical error.
    Page 21966, Column 1, Section B., List of Urbanized Areas: ``Fort
Collins, CO 206,633'' is corrected to read ``Fort Collins, CO
206,757.'' This correction is being made to resolve a clerical error.
    Page 21966, Column 1, Section B., List of Urbanized Areas: Delete
``Hag[aring]t[ntilde]a, GU 132,241'' from the list of urbanized areas.
The Census Bureau is making this correction as a result of a correction
to the ``Urban Area Criteria for Census 2000'' notice (67 FR 11663;
March 15, 2002). The correction Notice changes the designation of
Hag[aring]t[ntilde]a, GU, from an urbanized area to an urban cluster.
The criteria correction is being published in a separate Notice in this
issue of the Federal Register.
    Page 21966, Column 1, Section B., List of Urbanized Areas: Add
``Hanford, CA 69,639'' to the list of urbanized areas. This correction
is made to resolve a clerical error.
    Page 21966, Column 1, Section B., List of Urbanized Areas:
``Holland, MI 91,795'' is corrected to read ``Holland, MI 91,921.''
This correction is made to resolve a clerical error.
    Page 21967, Column 1, Section B., List of Urbanized Areas: ``San
Francisco--Oakland, CA 2,995,769'' is corrected to read ``San
Francisco--Oakland, CA 3,228,605.'' This correction is made to resolve
a clerical error and reflects the merging of the previously identified
San Rafael--Novato, CA Urbanized Area with the San Francisco--Oakland,
CA Urbanized Area.
    Page 21967, Column 1, Section B., List of Urbanized Areas: Delete
``San Rafael--Novato, CA 232,836'' from the list of urbanized areas.
This change is being made to resolve a clerical error and reflects the
merger of this previously identified area with the San Francisco--
Oakland, CA Urbanized Area.
    The Census Bureau is providing the following additional
information. The corrections below do not directly affect the text in
the original Notice, but they provide important information.
    The Census Bureau is merging the Coamo, PR, Urban Cluster and the
Salinas--Coco, PR, Urban Cluster to form the Coamo, PR, Urban Cluster
with a population of 46,065. This correction is made to resolve a
clerical error.
    The Census Bureau is adding Hag[aring]t[ntilde]a, GU, to the list
of urban clusters. This correction is being made as a result of a
correction to the Urban Area Criteria for Census 2000 that changes the

[[Page 54631]]

designation of Hag[aring]t[ntilde]a, GU, from an urbanized area to an
urban cluster.
    The Census Bureau is making very minor changes to several urbanized
areas and urban clusters by adding census blocks; most of these blocks
consist only of water. These changes are being made to resolve clerical
errors. The Denver--Aurora, CO; Fort Collins, CO; and Holland, MI,
Urbanized Areas are the only urbanized areas that have changes in
population; each is listed separately elsewhere in this Notice.
    A list of the other affected urbanized areas and urban clusters is
available from the Census Bureau at the Census 2000 Urban and Rural
Classification Web page at: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/ua/ua--
2k.html.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Because a Notice and opportunity for public comment are not
required by 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other law, for lists of urbanized
areas, this Notice is not subject to the analytical requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act. Thus, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is
not required and none has been prepared (5 U.S.C. 603[a]).

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This Notice does not represent a collection of information subject
to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, Title 44, U.S.C.,
Chapter 35.
