| 01-16868 | The Census 2000 Count Question Resolution Program | Notice | On January 22, 2001, the Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) published in the Federal Register an initial notice relating to the Census 2000 Count Question Resolution (CQR) program (66 FR 6574). This notice provides information concerning the CQR program as well. The CQR program will address corrections for three types of challenges: (1) boundary corrections, (2) geocoding (geographic assignment) corrections, and (3) data processing corrections. (See the heading "Types of Corrections that will be Considered for the Census 2000 CQR Program" in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.) The CQR program is not a mechanism or process to challenge the March 6, 2001, decision of the Secretary of Commerce to release unadjusted numbers from Census 2000 for redistricting purposes; nor is it a mechanism or process to challenge or revise the numbers sent to the President on December 28, 2000, to be used to apportion the U.S. House of Representatives. The CQR program procedures include researching challenges and, as appropriate, making corrections and issuing revised official population and housing unit counts, which also will be used for the Census Bureau's Postcensal Estimates program. Challenges will not be accepted to the overseas counts of persons in the military and federal civilian personnel stationed overseas and their dependents living with them. Overseas counts are obtained using administrative records and will be used solely for reapportioning seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, and do not provide the sub-state geographic information required for the CQR program. The Census Bureau will only accept challenges from officials of state, local, and tribal governments or those representing them or acting on their behalf. All challenges should be sent to the Census Bureau's headquarters. (The specific mailing address and a glossary of terms are provided in the section entitled "Exhibit--Additional Information" at the end of this notice's SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.) Corrections made to the population and housing unit counts by this program will result in the issuance of new official Census 2000 counts to the officials of governmental entities affected by these corrections and may be used by the governmental entities for future programs requiring official Census 2000 data. These corrections also will be: <bullet> used specifically to modify the decennial census file for use in yearly postcensal estimates beginning in December 2002, and <bullet> included in the errata information to be made available via the Internet on the American FactFinder System. We will NOT incorporate the CQR corrections into Census 2000 data products. All corrections will be made on the basis of appropriate documentation provided by the challenging entities and a thorough research and review of the official Census 2000 records by the Census Bureau. No additional data will be collected as part of the CQR program. We will only use data already collected. The Census Bureau will respond to all questions and will notify all affected governmental entities of any corrections to their official counts as a result of a CQR program decision. | 2001-07-06 | 2001 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/07/06/01-16868/the-census-2000-count-question-resolution-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-07-06/pdf/01-16868.pdf | Commerce Department; Census Bureau | 54,42 | On January 22, 2001, the Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) published in the Federal Register an initial notice relating to the Census 2000 Count Question Resolution (CQR) program (66 FR 6574).
