                2020 Census Tribal Consultation; Virtual Public Meeting
                AGENCY: Census Bureau, Department of Commerce.
                ACTION: Notice of meeting.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: The Census Bureau will conduct a tribal consultation on the
                next set of 2020 Census Data Products on March 24, 2022, via national
                webinar, and review the 2010 Demonstration Data Product--Demographic
                and Housing Characteristics File (DHC). The tribal consultation meeting
                reflects the Census Bureau's continuous commitment to strengthen
                nation-to-nation 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. In that regard, the Census Bureau is seeking comments on
                the 2010 Demonstration Data--DHC, and asking tribal governments to
                identify the problematic table, level of geography, and a description
                of the use case, along with the likely implications should the data be
                released as-is. Tribes will have four weeks after consultation to
                analyze the 2010 Demonstration Data Product--DHC.
                DATES: The Census Bureau will conduct the tribal consultation webinar
                on Thursday, March 24, 2022, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT. Any
                questions or topics to be considered in the tribal consultation
                meetings must be received in writing via email by Tuesday, March 22,
                2022.

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Census Bureau is planning one national
                webinar on March 24, 2022, with federally and state recognized tribes,
                which will provide a forum for tribes to review the 2010 Demonstration
                Data Product--Demographic and Housing Characteristics File (DHC). This
                demonstration data product represents the most recent development
                version of the 2020 Census Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) applied to
                published 2010 Census Data. The 2010 Demonstration Data Product--DHC
                will provide demographic and housing characteristics, including age,
                sex, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, relationship to householder,
                household type, couple type, housing tenure and vacancy. Some subjects
                are repeated by major OMB race/ethnicity groups for the household and
                group quarters population. Specifically, based on your analysis, we
                would like to know which data would be deemed unusable for your use
                cases. It will be helpful if you can identify the problematic table,
                level of geography, and a description of the use case, along with the
                likely implications should the data be released as-is.
                 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 2020 Census with the goal of ensuring the most
                accurate counts and data for the American Indian and Alaska Native
                population. In that regard, the Census Bureau is seeking comments on
                the 2010 Demonstration Data Product--DHC and is reviewing feedback
                received on the Detailed DHC tables.
                Demographic and Housing Characteristics File (DHC)
                 The DHC will include some of the demographic and housing tables
                previously included in the 2010 Census Summary File 1 (SF1).
                 Subjects: Age, sex, race, Hispanic or Latino origin,
                household type, family type, relationship to householder, group
                quarters population, housing occupancy, and housing tenure. Some
                subjects are repeated for major OMB race/ethnicity groups.
                 Access: data.census.gov.
                 Lowest level of geography: To be determined.
                 Production Date: Tentatively 2022.
                Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics (Detailed DHC)
                 The Detailed DHC will provide population counts, as well as
                demographic and housing statistics for detailed racial and ethnic
                groups, and American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages.
                These types of statistics were previously included in the 2010 Census
                Summary File 2 (SF2) and the 2010 American Indian and Alaska Native
                Summary File (AIANSF). In addition, the Detailed DHC will include a few
                tables from the 2010 Summary File 1 (SF1) that are not included in the
                DHC.
                 Subjects: Detailed racial and ethnic groups, American
                Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages, and complex household
                composition and characteristics tables (e.g., population in occupied
                housing units) not included in DHC.
                 Access: data.census.gov.
                 Lowest level of geography: To be determined.
                 Date: To be determined.
                 Information about the content of these data products was released
                on September 16, 2021. Tribes will have four weeks after consultation
                to analyze the 2010 Demonstration Data Product--DHC.

                by email. Send comments to: [email protected] or
