2000 Census Public Law 94-171 Program

Under the provisions of Public Law 94-171 (Title 13, United States Code, Section 141 (c)), the Director of the Census Bureau is required to provide the ``officers or public bodies with initial responsibility for legislative apportionment or districting of each state . . .'' with the opportunity to specify the small geographic areas (for example, election precincts, voting districts, wards) for which they wish to receive decennial census population totals for the purpose of reapportionment or redistricting. By April 1 of the year following the decennial census, the Director is required to furnish these state officials or their designees with population totals for standard census areas (for example, counties, cities, census tracts, and blocks) and for state-specified voting districts (for example, election precincts, wards) that meet Census Bureau technical criteria as established [[Page 25885]] under the provisions of Public Law 94-171. Therefore, in accordance with these provisions of Public Law 94-171 (Title 13, United States Code, Section 141 (c)), the Director of the Census Bureau is announcing the establishment of the 2000 Census Redistricting Data Program.
