-MISC1-

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on acts Mar. 3, 1899, ch. 419, Sec. 31, 30 Stat. 1021; Mar.

6, 1902, ch. 139, Sec. 6, 32 Stat. 52.

Section is new to the United States Code, but is in accordance

with current practice. Act Mar. 3, 1899, ch. 419, 30 Stat. 1014,

which established the ''Census Office'' on a temporary basis,

provided in section 31 thereof (30 Stat. 1021) for a seal for that

office. The office was made permanent by act Mar. 6, 1902, ch.

139, 32 Stat. 51, and section 6 of that act (32 Stat. 52) continued

in full force and effect ''for the taking of the Thirteenth and

subsequent censuses'' all provisions of the act of Mar. 3, 1899,

not inconsistent with the provisions of such 1902 act. Therefore,

since the 1902 act contained no provisions with respect to a seal,

section 31 of the 1899 act, providing for the seal, remained in

force as it was not inconsistent. Section 33 of act July 2, 1909,

ch. 2, 36 Stat. 10, which act (36 Stat. 1) related to the

Thirteenth and subsequent decennial censuses, repealed the said act

of Mar. 3, 1899, specifically, and all ''other'' laws and parts of

laws inconsistent with the provisions of the 1909 act. These

repealing provisions are somewhat ambiguous, but it was probably

the intent of Congress, as it was the intent thereof at the time of

enactment of the act of Mar. 6, 1902, referred to above, to

continue in effect all provisions of the act of Mar. 3, 1899, that

were not inconsistent with the act of July 2, 1909. The 1909 act

contained no provisions with respect to the seal, and it

accordingly follows that the provisions of section 31 of the act of

Mar. 3, 1899, with respect thereto, continued in force. This is

also the interpretation of the Bureau of the Census, which has

continued to use a seal through the years in connection with

''certificates and attestations''.

In any event, this new section merely confirms past and present

practice, and restores, if it does not preserve, statutory

authority for possession and use of the seal which is a very

necessary part of the operations of the Bureau. Further, the

section should serve to forestall future differences of

interpretation. In the past, some States have refused to recognize

the seal of the Census Bureau on the ground that it was not

authorized by law. In all probability, this position was taken,

not as the result of a search of the Statutes at Large, which would

have been a difficult project, but because provisions relating to

the seal were not set out in the United States Code where they

would have been readily accessible.

The language of this section follows substantially the language

of section 31 of the act of Mar. 3, 1899, referred to above, but

has been reworded because of jurisdictional and other changes since

that time. The ''Census Office'' was transferred from the

Department of the Interior to the Department of Commerce and Labor

by act Feb. 14, 1903, ch. 552, Sec. 4, 32 Stat. 826. Act Mar. 4,

1913, ch. 141, Sec. 1, 37 Stat. 736, changed the name of the latter

to the Department of Commerce, and created, as a separate

department, the Department of Labor. It transferred a number of

bureaus and agencies from the Department of Commerce to the

Department of Labor, but these transfers did not affect the Bureau

of the Census, which has remained under the jurisdiction of the

Department of Commerce. 1950 Reorganization Plan No. 5, Sec. 1, 2,

eff. May 24, 1950, 15 F.R. 3174, 64 Stat. 1263, transferred all

functions of all officers, employees, bureaus, and agencies of the

Department of Commerce to the Secretary of Commerce, and vested

power in him to delegate them or any of his other functions to any

of such officers, employees, bureaus, and agencies. Therefore, in

this section, ''Secretary'', and ''Secretary or such officer or

employee of the Bureau as he designates'', were substituted,

respectively, for two references to the Director of the Census, to

conform with such Plan.

AMENDMENTS

1976 - Pub. L. 94-521 substituted ''affixed to all documents

authenticated by the Bureau'' for ''affixed to all certificates and

attestations that may be required from the Bureau''.

1957 - Pub. L. 85-207 provided for judicial recognition of the

seal.

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Section is new, and was inserted to conform with 1950

Reorganization Plan No. 5, effective May 24, 1950, Sec. 1, 2, 15

F.R. 3174, 64 Stat. 1263, which is set out as a note under section

591 of title 5, U. S. C., 1952 ed., Executive Departments and

Government Officers and Employees (now set out in the Appendix to

Title 5, Government Organization and Employees). That plan

transferred all functions (with a few exceptions not applicable to

the Census Bureau) of all agencies, officers and employees of the

Department of Commerce to the Secretary of Commerce, and vested

power in him to delegate the functions so transferred, or any of

his other functions, to such agencies, officers or employees within

the Department as he designates.

See, also, section 253 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., which

provided for delegation of functions in connection with the

quinquennial censuses of governments, and authorized the Secretary

to promulgate rules and regulations with respect to such censuses.

That section has been omitted from this revised title, as the

provision thereof for delegation of functions is covered by this

section, and the provision thereof which related to rules and

regulations is covered by section 22 of title 1, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,

General Provisions.

Because of the transfer effected by 1950 Reorganization Plan No.

5, referred to above, sections of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., which

prescribed functions of the Bureau of the Census, the Census

Office, or the Director of the Census, have, in this revised title,

been changed to refer to the Secretary.

AMENDMENTS

1976 - Pub. L. 94-521 inserted ''regulations;'' in section

catchline, authorized the Secretary to issue such rules and

regulations as he deems necessary to carry out the functions and

duties imposed upon him by this title, authorized delegation of

authority to issue such rules and regulations to officers and

employees of the Department of Commerce, and struck out a provision

which allowed delegation of performance of such functions and

duties to bureaus and agencies of the Department of Commerce.

Section consolidates section 82 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,

which related to statistics on cottonseed, oilseeds, nuts and

kernels, fats, oils, and greases, with part of the second sentence

of section 111 of such title, which section related to

miscellaneous statistics; with the first sentence of section 123 of

such title, which section related to censuses of manufacturers,

mineral industries, and other businesses; with the second sentence

population, agriculture, irrigation, drainage, etc.; with the third

sentence of section 216 of such title, which section related to

censuses of agriculture; with that part of subsection (b) of

section 1442 of title 42, U.S.C., 1952 ed., which made such

sections 204 and 216 applicable to the censuses of housing; and

with part of section 251(b) of such title relating to censuses of

governments.

Sections 82, 123 and 204 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., provided

that the inquiries, etc., should be determined by the Director of

the Census, with the approval of the Secretary of Commerce. Section

111 thereof provided that the Director of the Census should prepare

the schedules, etc., and sections 216 and 251(b) thereof (the

former amended in 1952, the latter enacted in 1950) provided that

the inquiries, etc., should be determined by the Secretary of

Commerce. This consolidated section vests such duties in the

Secretary of Commerce, which is in conformity not only with such

sections 216 and 251(b), but also with 1950 Reorganization Plan No.

Section consolidates section 215 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,

businesses, and governments, and with that part of subsection (b)

of section 1442 of title 42, U.S.C., 1952 ed., which made such

section 215 applicable to the decennial censuses of housing (see

subchapters I, II, and III of chapter 5 of this title). As

originally enacted in 1929, such section 215 had related only to

the decennial censuses of population, agriculture, etc., the

provisions for which are continued in subchapter II of chapter 5 of

this title.

The provisions, as revised in this section, relate, not only to

the censuses referred to above, but also, to all other

investigations provided for in this title. This was probably the

Congressional intent.

Words in section 215 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., ''on request

of the Director of the Census'', were omitted since all functions

under this title are vested primarily in the Secretary (of

Commerce), in view of 1950 Reorganization Plan No. 5, Sec. 1, 2,

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Sec. 2 (Mar. 6, 1902, ch.

139, Sec. 3, 32 Stat. 51; June 18, 1929, ch. 28, Sec. 21, 46 Stat.

26). The provision of section 2 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,

which imposed upon the Director the duty to superintend and direct

the taking of censuses of the United States was omitted in view of

1950 Reorganization Plan No. 5, effective May 24, 1950, 15 F.R.

3174, 64 Stat. 1263, which transferred all functions of all

officers, employees, bureaus, and agencies of the Department of

Commerce to the Secretary of Commerce, and this title, as revised,

vests such duty in the Secretary. However, under section 4 of this

title, he may delegate his functions hereunder.

''Bureau'' was substituted for ''permanent Census Office''. See

Revision Note to section 2 of this title.

At the end of this section, references to regulations, and to

orders of the Secretary, were added after ''law'' in view of the

changes effected by 1950 Reorganization Plan No. 5, referred to

above.

Changes were made in phraseology.

Based on title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Sec. 5, 6 (Mar. 6, 1902, ch.

139, Sec. 5, 10, 32 Stat. 51, 53; June 18, 1929, ch. 28, Sec. 21,

Section consolidates section 5 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,

with section 6 of such title.

A reference to ''officers'' was inserted for completeness, and

the word ''permanent'' was inserted before ''officers and

employees'' for the purpose of clarity.

The provision in section 5 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,

excepting unskilled laborers from the requirements for citizenship,

was omitted as superseded and covered by the Classification Act of

1949 (5 U.S.C., 1952 ed., ch. 21).

The provision that appointments and compensation shall be subject

to the Classification Act of 1949 is new but is in accordance with

existing law. See chapter 21 of title 5, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,

Executive Departments and Government Officers and Employees.

The provision in section 5 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., giving

preference in appointments to war veterans and their widows, was

omitted as superseded and covered by the Veterans' Preference Act

of 1944 (chapter 17 of Title 5, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Executive

Departments and Government Officers and Employees).

Changes were made in phraseology.

The Secretary may make appointments to such temporary positions in

conformity with the civil service laws and rules.

(b) In addition to employees of the Department of Commerce,

employees of other departments and independent offices of the

Government may, with the consent of the head of the respective

department or office, be employed and compensated for field work in

connection with the work provided for by law without regard to

section 301 of the Dual Compensation Act.

(c) The Secretary may utilize temporary staff, including

employees of Federal, State, or local agencies or

instrumentalities, and employees of private organizations to assist

the Bureau in performing the work authorized by this title, but

only if such temporary staff is sworn to observe the limitations

imposed by section 9 of this title.

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Sec. 203, 216, and section

1442 of title 42, U.S.C., 1952 ed., The Public Health and Welfare

1106(a), 63 Stat. 972; July 16, 1952, ch. 912, 66 Stat. 736).

Section consolidates parts of sections 203 and 216 of title 13,

U.S.C., 1952 ed., with that part of subsection (b) of section 1442

of title 42, U.S.C., 1952 ed., which made such sections 203 and 216

applicable to the censuses of housing.

Section 122 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., which related to

quinquennial censuses of manufacturers, the mineral industries,

transportation, and other businesses (see subchapter I of chapter 5

of this revised title), and section 252 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952

ed., which related to quinquennial censuses of governments (see

subchapter III of chapter 5 of this title), made section 203 of

such title applicable to those censuses. However, since the

particular provisions of such section 203 that have been carried

into this revised section apparently related, as supplemented by

section 1442(b) of title 42, U.S.C., 1952 ed., to the decennial

censuses provided for in sections 201 et seq. of such title, and in

such section 1442 of title 42 (see subchapter II of chapter 5 of

this revised title), and apparently could have no relevancy to the

quinquennial censuses referred to above, this revised section

relates only to such decennial censuses.

In subsection (a), ''Departmental Service'' was substituted for

''District of Columbia'', since the Bureau of the Census now has

its headquarters in Maryland, and not in the District of Columbia.

In this section, a reference to the Bureau of the Census was

changed to a reference to the Department of Commerce, and

references to the Director of the Census were changed in all but

one case to references to the Secretary (of Commerce) to conform

with 1950 Reorganization Plan No. 5, Sec. 1, 2, eff. May 24, 1950,

15 F.R. 3174, 64 Stat. 1263. See Revision Note to section 4 of this

title. The provision of section 203 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,

that appointments under the particular provisions thereof that have

been carried into subsection (a) of this revised section should be

made upon the recommendation of the Director of the Census, have

been omitted from such subsection (a) for the same reason.

Further, words ''or to whatever other officer is designated by the

Secretary to take the census provided for in sections 141 and 142

of this title'' were inserted after ''Director of the Census'' in

par. (1) of subsection (a), to conform with such 1950

Reorganization Plan.

The first paragraph of section 203 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,

which provided for the employment of two assistant directors for

each decennial census period, was omitted as obsolete and

superseded, in view of section 122 of such title, which made such

section 203 applicable to the quinquennial censuses of manufactures

and other businesses, and to surveys (see subchapter IV of chapter

5 of this title), thus rendering such first paragraph ineffective

and meaningless. See also section 121(b) of title 13, U.S.C., 1952

ed.

The third proviso in the second paragraph of section 203 of title

13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., giving preference in appointments to disabled

war veterans, their widows, and, under certain circumstances, to

their wives, was omitted as superseded and covered by the Veterans'

Preference Act of 1944 (chapter 17 of title 5, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,

Executive Departments and Government Officers and Employees).

Changes were made in phraseology and arrangement.

Remainder of section 203 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., is

incorporated in this subchapter, and for remainder of section 216

thereof, and of section 1442 of title 42, U.S.C., 1952 ed. (which

has been transferred in its entirety to this revised title), see

-STATUTE-

(a) The Secretary may utilize the services of nontemporary

employees of the Bureau (by assignment, promotion, appointment,

detail, or otherwise) in temporary positions established for any

census, for not to exceed the period during which appropriations

are available for that census. Whenever the Secretary determines

that the services of an employee which have been utilized under

this section are no longer required in such a temporary position,

he may, without regard to the provisions of any other law, return

the employee to a continuing position, with rank and compensation

not less than that which he held in his last permanent position in

the Bureau: Provided, That no employee shall, by reason of his

service in a temporary position under this subsection, lose the

protection of any law or regulation with respect to his separation,

suspension, furlough, or reduction in rank or compensation below

the level held in his last permanent position in the Bureau.

Service by a nontemporary employee in a temporary position under

this subsection shall be creditable for step-increases (both

periodic and longevity) under title VII of the Classification Act

of 1949, as amended, as though it were a continuation of service in

his last permanent position.

(b) As used in this title with respect to appointments or

positions, ''temporary'' shall be construed to mean not in excess

of one year, or not in excess of the specific period during which

appropriations are available for the conduct of a particular

census, whichever is longer. No employee of the Bureau who holds

only a temporary appointment within the meaning of this section

shall be considered as other than strictly temporary for purposes

of any other provision of law relating to separations, suspensions,

or reductions in rank or compensation.

(c) The enlisted men and officers of the uniformed services may

be appointed and compensated for service in temporary enumerator

positions for the enumeration of personnel of the uniformed

services.

(d) The Secretary may fix compensation on a piece-price basis

without limitation as to the amount earned per diem, and payments

may be made to enumerators for the use of private automobiles on

official business without regard to section 4 of the Travel Expense

Act of 1949, as amended (5 U.S.C. 837), but at rates not in excess

of the rates provided by that Act.

(e) The Secretary may authorize the expenditure of necessary sums

for travel expenses of persons selected for appointment for

attendance at training courses held by the Department of Commerce

with respect to any of the work provided for by law.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of law prohibiting the

expenditure of public money for telephone service, the Secretary,

under such regulations as he shall prescribe, may authorize

reimbursement for tolls or charges for telephone service from

private residences or private apartments to the extent such charges

are determined by the Secretary to have been incurred to facilitate

the collection of information in connection with the censuses and

surveys authorized by this title.

Section consolidates those provisions of sections 111, 122, 203

and 252 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., which related to appointment

of special personnel for census work, collection of statistics,

etc., and the use of permanent employees for such purpose, with

that part of subsection (b) of section 1442 of title 42, U.S.C.,

1952 ed., which made such section 203 applicable to housing

censuses (subchapter II of chapter 5 of this title).

The provisions have been reworded to make it clear that they

relate to all collections of statistics, censuses, etc., provided

for in this title.

References to the Director of the Census have been changed to

references to the Secretary (of Commerce) to conform with 1950

Reorganization Plan No. 5, Sec. 1, 2, eff. May 24, 1950, 15 F.R.

3174, 64 Stat. 1263. See Revision Note to section 4 of this title.

Words ''except that such special agents shall be appointed in

accordance with the civil service laws'' were omitted as obsolete

and unnecessary in view of the Classification Act of 1949 (see 5

U.S.C., 1952 ed., ch. 21).

The provisions of section 203 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed.,

relating to per diem rates of compensation for special agents, to

authority to detail permanent employees and special agents to act

as supervisors or enumerators, and to duties thereof, were omitted

as obsolete and superseded by the Classification Act of 1949.

The provision of section 203 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., that

the Director of the Census might delegate to the supervisors the

authority to appoint enumerators, was omitted because all functions

of the Director and other officers and employees of the Department

of Commerce and its bureaus and agencies were transferred to the

Secretary by 1950 Reorganization Plan No. 5, referred to above.

However, section 4 of this title provides for delegation of

functions by the Secretary.

Words ''on a temporary basis'' were inserted after ''appointed''

in subsection (a) for the purpose of clarity.

Changes were made in phraseology and arrangement.
