U.S. Census Bureau Tribal 

Consultation; Virtual Public Meeting 

AGENCY: Census Bureau, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of virtual public meeting 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Census Bureau 

(Census Bureau) will conduct two 

virtual Tribal consultations on updating 

the race/ethnicity code list for the 

American Community Survey and the 

2030 Census on December 11, 2024, and 

January 15, 2025. The two virtual Tribal 

consultation webinars will reflect the 

Census Bureau’s continuous 

commitment to strengthen governmentto-government relationships with 

federally recognized Tribes. The Census 

Bureau’s procedures for outreach, 

notice, and consultation ensure 

involvement of Tribes, to the extent 

practicable and permitted by law, before 

making decisions or implementing 

policies, rules, or programs that affect 

federally recognized Tribal 

governments. These meetings are open 

to citizens of federally and State 

recognized Tribes by invitation. 

DATES: The Census Bureau will conduct 

two virtual Tribal consultations; the first 

on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, 

from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET and the 

second on Wednesday, January 15, 

2025, from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET. Any 

questions or topics to be considered in 

the Tribal consultation meetings must 

be received in writing via email by

The Census Bureau is planning two 

national webinars to be held on 

December 11, 2024, and January 15, 

2025, with federally and State 

recognized Tribes, which will provide a 

forum for Tribes to learn about its Race/ 

Ethnicity Coding Improvement Project 

and provide feedback. The Race/ 

Ethnicity Coding Improvement Project 

provides an opportunity for Tribes to 

provide feedback on how detailed race 

and/or ethnicity and American Indian 

or Alaska Native populations will be 

coded in the American Community 

Survey (ACS) and the 2030 Census. The 

Census Bureau aims to enhance and 

improve the code list that was used in 

the 2020 Census and is currently used 

in the ACS to ensure that detailed race 

and/or ethnicity and Tribal responses 

are accurately coded and tabulated in 

future data collections. 

The webinars will provide 

information on how to interpret and 

understand the code list and its impact 

on the data Tribes receive. Tribal 

leaders will have the opportunity to 

provide feedback on alternative terms, 

abbreviations, or in-language terms that 

individuals may use to identify 

themselves as a citizen of their Tribes 

and any groups that may be missing or 

misclassified in the code list. We are 

providing Tribes for their review the 

proposed code list and Federal Register 

Notice with background information 

about this project. The Census Bureau is 

seeking feedback from Tribal 

governments on the following questions: 

1. Are there any groups missing from 

the proposed code list? If so, please 

identify them and suggest how the 

groups should be classified and why. 

2. Are any groups on the proposed 

code list misclassified? If so, please 

identify them and suggest an alternative 

classification or indicate if the term 

should be removed. 

3. Are there alternative terms, 

abbreviations, or in-language terms 

people may use to identify with a 

specific group that should be added to 

the proposed code list? If so, please 

identify them and suggest a 

classification. 

In accordance with Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, issued 

November 6, 2000, the Census Bureau 

has adhered to its Tribal consultation 

policy by seeking the input of Tribal 

governments in the planning and 

implementation of the ACS and the 

2030 Census with the goal of ensuring 

the most accurate counts and data for 

the American Indian or Alaska Native 

population. In that regard, the Census 

Bureau is seeking comments on the 

proposed race/ethnicity code list: 

https://www2.census.gov/programssurveys/demo/2030-race-and-orethnicity-code-list/. 

Tribes will have until February 5, 

2025, to review the proposed updates to 

the code list and provide input.
