    Average Hours per Response: 21 hours on average; will vary by

    Burden Hours: 845,600.
    Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau developed the Local Update 
of Census Addresses Operation (LUCA) prior to the 2000 Census to meet 
the requirements of the Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994, 
Public Law 103-430. The Census Bureau will use information collected 
through LUCA to help develop the housing unit and group quarters (e.g., 
college dormitory, nursing home, correctional facility) address 
information that it will need to conduct the decennial census. LUCA is 
voluntary for governmental units. Participating governments may review 
the Census Bureau's Title 13 U.S.C. confidential list of individual 
living quarters addresses and provide to the Census Bureau address 
additions, corrections, deletions, and location coordinates (latitude/
longitude). Participating governments also may provide spatial and 
attribute updates for roads. Governments electing to participate in 
LUCA also provide contact information, certification of their agreement 
to maintain the confidentiality of the Census Bureau address 
information, responses regarding their physical and information 
technology security capability, product media preference information, 
shipment inventory information, and certification of their destruction 
or return of materials containing confidential data.
    LUCA will be available to tribal, state, and local governments, the 
District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (or their designated 
representatives) in areas for which the Census Bureau performs a pre-
census Address Canvassing Operation. A majority of governments will 
have some area that will be included in the Address Canvassing 
Operation. LUCA is available to legally defined federally recognized 
Native American and Alaska Native areas (including the Alaska Native 
Regional Corporations), states, governmentally active counties and 
equivalent entities, incorporated places, and legally defined Minor 
Civil Divisions (MCDs) for which the Census Bureau reports data. LUCA 
will occur between January 2017 and June 2020. LUCA comprises five 
stages:

 Advance Notice
 Invitation
 Address Review
 Feedback
 Closeout

Advance Notice

    The Census Bureau provides an advance notice package to all 
eligible tribal, state, and local governments. This package contains 
materials informing the eligible governments of the voluntary LUCA 
operation and provides instructions to update contact information and 
how to prepare to participate in LUCA. This stage occurs between 
January 2017 and March 2017.

Invitation

    All eligible tribal, state, and local governments receive an 
invitation package. This package provides information on how to 
register for the operation, instructions on how to designate a liaison, 
and enables governments to select the type of materials. Additionally, 
the invitation package provides information regarding the 
responsibility for safeguarding and protecting Title 13 materials. The 
Census Bureau will follow up and send reminder packages to governments 
that do not respond. This stage occurs between July 2017 and September 
2017.

Address Review

    Governments that elect to participate receive materials based on 
their selection from the invitation package. Governments have a maximum 
of 120 days from the date of receipt of materials to complete and 
submit their address and spatial updates to the Census Bureau. The 
Census Bureau will conduct follow up with letters, postcards, and phone 
calls to encourage timely submission of address and spatial updates. 
This stage occurs between February 2018 and May 2018.

Feedback

    The Census Bureau will provide a feedback package to governments 
that participate in LUCA. This package includes detailed information on 
the results of the address and spatial updates submitted during LUCA. 
This stage occurs between August 2019 and October 2019.

Closeout

    The Census Bureau provides a closeout letter to governments that 
participated in LUCA with notification to destroy or return Title 13 
materials. The Census Bureau will also conduct follow up with letters 
and phone calls to ensure that Title 13 materials are destroyed or 
returned. This stage occurs between October 2019 and June 2020.
    The information on LUCA contacts, certification of agreement to 
maintain the confidentiality of the Census Bureau address information, 
physical and information technology security

capability, product media preference, shipment inventory, and 
certification of the destruction or return of materials containing 
confidential data is collected via the completion of electronic or 
printed forms.

Address Updates

    Information collection for living quarters address additions, 
corrections, deletions, and address attribute updates, at the 
participating government's preference, can be submitted in the form of:
    1. Digital data files output by the Geographic Update Partnership 
Software (GUPS), a desktop application supplied free-of-charge to LUCA 
participants to facilitate the review and update of Census Bureau 
address and map information;
    2. Digital data files formatted to Census Bureau specifications; or
    3. Handwritten annotations to Census Bureau-provided printed-paper 
address listings and address locations on Census Bureau-provided block 
maps (limited to governments with 6,000 or fewer addresses).

Feature Updates

    Information collection for living quarter location coordinates 
(latitude/longitude), roads, and road attribute updates, at the 
participating government's preference, can be submitted in the form of:
    1. Digital data shapefiles output by GUPS;
    2. Digital updates to Census Bureau supplied shapefiles; or
    3. Handwritten annotations on Census Bureau supplied paper maps.
    Affected Public: Tribal, state, and local governments.
    Frequency: LUCA occurs once a decade. Public Law 103-430 mandates 
that the Census Bureau offer LUCA prior to each decennial census.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Chapter 1, Subchapter 1, Section 
16.
