The Census Bureau provides an Age Search service of confidential records from the 1910 to 2020 decennial censuses and can issue an official transcript of the results to authorized individuals. With this rule, the Census Bureau is proposing to increase the fee for conducting an Age Search from $65.00 to $155.00. The Census Bureau is also proposing to increase the additional charge for expedited requests requiring search results within one day from $20.00 per case to $50.00 per case. These changes are needed to reflect the actual operating costs associated with processing an Age Search request which were last revised in 2004.
By this rule, the Census Bureau is amending its regulations governing requests and establishing fee structures for special census services and studies. This action is necessary to eliminate obsolete provision and streamline the Census Bureau's regulations. This action is intended to promote simplicity and efficiency and to reduce the possibility of public confusion.
By this final rule, the Census Bureau is removing its regulations governing the cutoff dates for the recognition of boundary changes for the 2010 Census. This action is necessary because the regulations pertain exclusively to the 2010 Decennial Census and are therefore obsolete, serving no current administrative or public purpose. The intended effect is to streamline the Code of Federal Regulations and reduce potential confusion for the public by removing outdated provisions.
By this rule, the Census Bureau is eliminating its regulations pertaining to a now-obsolete joint effort between the United States Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to train foreign nationals in census and statistical procedures. This action is necessary to ensure that the Census Bureau's regulations are accurate and up-to-date. The intended effect is to remove outdated and unnecessary regulatory content, to reduce the potential for confusion, and to reprioritize American interests.
By this rule, the Census Bureau (Bureau) is eliminating a part of the Code of Federal Regulations that consists solely of a single provision cross-referencing another part of the Code. This action is necessary to streamline and simplify the Bureau's regulations. The intended effect of this action is to reduce administrative clutter without altering any substantive rights or obligations.
By this rule, the Census Bureau (Bureau) is amending its regulations that govern the furnishing of personal census data. Specifically, this rule removes two unnecessary sections that merely restate underlying statutory language. This action is necessary to reduce regulatory complexity and redundancy. The intended effect is to promote the simplicity and clarity of the Code of Federal Regulations for public benefit, without altering any substantive rights or obligations.
By this rule, the Census Bureau (Bureau) is amending its regulations that govern the Bureau's official seal. Specifically, this rule removes unnecessary regulatory language and consolidates all of the necessary language into a single regulation. This action is intended to streamline the Bureau's regulations and promote clarity by eliminating redundancy and potential inconsistencies between the regulatory language and the underlying statutory language of 13 U.S.C. 3.
The Census Bureau (Bureau) is removing its regulations related to the release of decennial census population information. Such regulations are obsolete and have not applied to the determination of methodology for calculating the tabulations of total population reported to states and localities under 13 U.S.C. 141(c) since the decennial census in 2000. This action is necessary to remove obsolete regulatory language, keep the Bureau's regulations current, and ensure that the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) is able to fulfill his statutory obligations without being hindered by an unnecessary administrative process.
By this rule, the Census Bureau (Bureau) amends and removes certain regulations governing the program for challenging the Bureau's annual population estimates (Population Estimates Challenge Program). This action will improve and streamline the regulations by clarifying that part 90 pertains to requests to challenge the Bureau's annual population estimates, properly introducing an acronym used throughout part 90, eliminating inconsequential language, and amending or removing provisions that impose undue restrictions or requirements on potential challengers. The intended effect is to create a more efficient, clear, and accessible process for governmental units to request a challenge to the Bureau's population estimates, thereby promoting accuracy and accountability.
