census population and housing unit counts for entities that incorporate
or organize as counties, boroughs, cities, towns, villages, townships,
or other general purpose governments between the 1990 and 2000
decennial censuses. This program will, however, be available to those
entities that desire this service on a fee-paid basis.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Joel L. Morrison, Chief, Geography
Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233-7400, telephone
(301) 457-1132.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of the Census first began to make
these count determinations in 1972 in response to the requests of local
governments to establish eligibility for participation in the General
Revenue Sharing Program authorized under PL 92-512. At that time, the
Bureau of the Census established a fee-paid program enabling entities
with annexations to obtain updated decennial census population counts
that reflected the population living in the boundary change areas; the
Bureau of the Census received funding from the U.S. Department of the
Treasury to make those determinations for larger annexations that met
prescribed criteria, and for the new incorporations. The General
Revenue Sharing Program ended on September 30, 1986. The Bureau of the
Census continued to fund the count update operation through fiscal year
1995 for the large annexations, and to date for newly incorporated
areas. There is no funded Federal legislative requirement that this
work continue.
However, the Bureau of the Census will continue to make count
determinations for such newly incorporated areas at the request of
local governments, provided that any and all costs associated with this
work are borne by the local governmental entity.
For information on the procedure to request determinations under
the fee for service based program, please contact Dr. Joel L. Morrison,
Chief, Geography Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C.
20233-7400, telephone (301) 457-1132.
Authority to continue this program on a fee for service basis is
contained in Title 13, United States Code, Section 8.
Dated: September 18, 1996.

Deputy Director, Bureau of the Census.
