Abstract: The LUCA Program was developed by the U.S. Census Bureau to meet the requirements of the Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994, P.L. 103-430. Participating governments may review the Census Bureau’s confidential list of individual living quarters addresses and provide to the Census Bureau address additions, corrections, deletions, and/or the identification of corrected address counts for census blocks; street and street attribute updates; and legal boundary updates. The Census Bureau will use the LUCA program to help develop the housing unit and group quarters (e.g., college dormitory, nursing home, correctional facility, etc.) address information that it will need to conduct the 2010 Decennial Census.

Emergency Justfication: The determination that the 2010 LUCA Program would require approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act was made on May 11, 2007, just nine weeks prior to the scheduled mailout of approximately 90,000 LUCA invitation packages on July 17. An expedited review should allow the Census Bureau to mail the invitations as soon as two weeks after the widely-publicized scheduled date rather than incur a significant delay of 60 or more days if a normal clearance process were followed. Such a delay would be harmful to the 2010 LUCA Program because it reduces the time during which participants can perform their activities. Additionally, perceptions about the LUCA Program on the part of participants and other stakeholders already aware of the planned schedule and anticipating its start could be adversely affected. This could in turn shake confidence in the strength of the census plan as a whole.
