Registration Deadline Jan. 31 for Census Formula Information Although the 2010 Census is still three years away, the U.S. Census Bureau needs local governments to provide updated addresses and population information for their communities by Jan. 31. All state, local and tribal governments should have already received informational booklets from the Census Bureau about the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) program. This joint and voluntary program between the Census Bureau and local governments is the official start of the 2010 Census. The Bureau projects that by 2010, there will be more than 310 million people living in the 50 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. In partnership with the Census Bureau, local governments will use their area knowledge to improve the list of addresses for housing units and group quarters, including growth from new construction or annexation. After registering for LUCA, participating governments will receive review materials to improve the address list. The information contained in the address list is confidential by law, and those governments that choose to participate in the LUCA program will be provided an option to review the Census Bureau's address list. like all census employees, those who review and update a confidential address list are subject to a jail term, a fine or both if they disclose any protected information. After LUCA, but prior to the 2010 Census questionnaire delivery, address listers will perform a field canvass across the country to make sure the latest address list is correct. Using global positioning system (GPS) mapping on hand-held computers, workers will be able to update information electronically while out in the field. For more information, visit the 2010 Census LUCA Program at www.eensus.Qov/geo/www/luea2010/luea.html. or call the Census Bureau Geography Division at (866) 511-5822. California Sex Offender Management Board Holds Public Hearings The California Sex Offender Management Board (CASOMB) held public hearings in San Francisco, Bakersfield and San Bernardino the week of Jan. 7 to provide local government, law enforcement agencies, victim advocates, and community members the opportunity to ask questions and express concerns about sex offender management policies under review by board members. Charged with conducting an assessment of current management practices for adult sex offenders residing in California communities, CASOMB is expected to report to the Governor and Legislature early this year. Information gathered at the public hearings last week will be used in this report. 8
