HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Sec. 121 (June 19, 1948, ch.

502, Sec. 1, 62 Stat. 478; June 18, 1954, ch. 315, 68 Stat. 258).

Section was subsection (a) of section 121 of title 13, U.S.C.,

1952 ed. The remainder of such section 121, which constituted

subsection (b) thereof, is incorporated in subchapter IV of this

chapter.

At the beginning, ''The Secretary'', meaning the Secretary of

Commerce, was substituted for a reference to the Director of the

Bureau of the Census, and, at the end, the provision that the

territorial scope of the censuses should be determined by the

Secretary was substituted for the provision of section 121 of title

13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., that such determination should be made by the

Director with the approval of the Secretary, to conform with 1950

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

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

officers and employees, agencies and bureaus of the Department of

Commerce to the Secretary. However, the Secretary, under that plan,

may delegate any of such transferred functions, as well as any

other of his functions, to any of such officers, employees,

agencies and bureaus. See, also, section 4 of this title.

The reference in section 121 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., to

the year ''1949'' as the year for commencement of the quinquennial

censuses was changed to the year ''1954'', since the former

designation is obsolete, and the provision of such section that the

census of manufacturers should not be taken in 1949 was omitted as

obsolete.

Changes were made in phraseology.

AMENDMENTS

1964 - Pub. L. 88-532 substituted ''in the year 1964, then in the

year 1968, and'' for ''in the year 1954 and'' and struck out

provisions which related to the taking of certain censuses in the

year 1955.

1957 - Pub. L. 85-207 struck out sentence which included the

United States and its territories and such possessions as the

Secretary might determine in the censuses to be taken. See section

191 of this title.

CENSUS DATA ON WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES; STUDY AND REPORT

Pub. L. 100-533, title V, Sec. 501, Oct. 25, 1988, 102 Stat.

''(a) Bureau of Labor Statistics. - The Bureau of Labor

Statistics of the Department of Labor shall include in any census

report it may prepare on women owned business data on -

''(1) sole proprietorships;

''(2) partnerships; and

''(3) corporations.

''(b) Bureau of the Census. - The Bureau of the Census of the

Department of Commerce shall include in its Business Census for

1992 and each such succeeding census data on the number of

corporations which are 51 per centum or more owned by women.

''(c) Combined Study. - Not later than one hundred and eighty

days after the effective date of this section (Oct. 25, 1988), the

Office of the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business

Administration (hereinafter referred to in this subsection as the

Sec. 141. Population and other census information

-STATUTE-

(a) The Secretary shall, in the year 1980 and every 10 years

thereafter, take a decennial census of population as of the first

day of April of such year, which date shall be known as the

''decennial census date'', in such form and content as he may

determine, including the use of sampling procedures and special

surveys. In connection with any such census, the Secretary is

authorized to obtain such other census information as necessary.

(b) The tabulation of total population by States under subsection

(a) of this section as required for the apportionment of

Representatives in Congress among the several States shall be

completed within 9 months after the census date and reported by the

Secretary to the President of the United States.

(c) The officers or public bodies having initial responsibility

for the legislative apportionment or districting of each State may,

not later than 3 years before the decennial census date, submit to

the Secretary a plan identifying the geographic areas for which

specific tabulations of population are desired. Each such plan

shall be developed in accordance with criteria established by the

Secretary, which he shall furnish to such officers or public bodies

not later than April 1 of the fourth year preceding the decennial

census date. Such criteria shall include requirements which assure

that such plan shall be developed in a nonpartisan manner. Should

the Secretary find that a plan submitted by such officers or public

bodies does not meet the criteria established by him, he shall

consult to the extent necessary with such officers or public bodies

in order to achieve the alterations in such plan that he deems

necessary to bring it into accord with such criteria. Any issues

with respect to such plan remaining unresolved after such

consultation shall be resolved by the Secretary, and in all cases

he shall have final authority for determining the geographic format

of such plan. Tabulations of population for the areas identified

in any plan approved by the Secretary shall be completed by him as

expeditiously as possible after the decennial census date and

reported to the Governor of the State involved and to the officers

or public bodies having responsibility for legislative

apportionment or districting of such State, except that such

tabulations of population of each State requesting a tabulation

plan, and basic tabulations of population of each other State,

shall, in any event, be completed, reported, and transmitted to

each respective State within one year after the decennial census

date.

(d) Without regard to subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this

section, the Secretary, in the year 1985 and every 10 years

thereafter, shall conduct a mid-decade census of population in such

form and content as he may determine, including the use of sampling

procedures and special surveys, taking into account the extent to

which information to be obtained from such census will serve in

lieu of information collected annually or less frequently in

surveys or other statistical studies. The census shall be taken as

of the first day of April of each such year, which date shall be

known as the ''mid-decade census date''.

(e)(1) If -

(A) in the administration of any program established by or

under Federal law which provides benefits to State or local

governments or to other recipients, eligibility for or the amount

of such benefits would (without regard to this paragraph) be

determined by taking into account data obtained in the most

recent decennial census, and

(B) comparable data is obtained in a mid-decade census

conducted after such decennial census,

then in the determination of such eligibility or amount of benefits

the most recent data available from either the mid-decade or

decennial census shall be used.

(2) Information obtained in any mid-decade census shall not be

used for apportionment of Representatives in Congress among the

several States, nor shall such information be used in prescribing

congressional districts.

(f) With respect to each decennial and mid-decade census

conducted under subsection (a) or (d) of this section, the

Secretary shall submit to the committees of Congress having

legislative jurisdiction over the census -

(1) not later than 3 years before the appropriate census date,

a report containing the Secretary's determination of the subjects

proposed to be included, and the types of information to be

compiled, in such census;

(2) not later than 2 years before the appropriate census date,

a report containing the Secretary's determination of the

questions proposed to be included in such census; and

(3) after submission of a report under paragraph (1) or (2) of

this subsection and before the appropriate census date, if the

Secretary finds new circumstances exist which necessitate that

the subjects, types of information, or questions contained in

reports so submitted be modified, a report containing the

Secretary's determination of the subjects, types of information,

or questions as proposed to be modified.

(g) As used in this section, ''census of population'' means a

census of population, housing, and matters relating to population

and housing.

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Sec. 201 (June 18, 1929, ch.

28, Sec. 1, 46 Stat. 21; May 17, 1932, ch. 190, 47 Stat. 158).

References to the Secretary, meaning the Secretary of Commerce,

were substituted for references to the Director of the Census, 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 for taking the censuses in ''1930 and every ten

years thereafter'' was changed to ''1960 and every ten years

thereafter'' since the censuses for the years 1930, 1940 and 1950

have been completed.

The requirement that decennial censuses of ''distribution'' and

''mines'' should also be taken was omitted as superseded by section

121 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed. (enacted in 1948), the provisions

of which were carried into subchapter I of this chapter.

Section 1442 of title 42, U.S.C., 1952 ed., the Public Health and

Welfare (which section has been transferred in its entirety to this

revised title), made all provisions of chapter 4 of title 13,

U.S.C., 1952 ed., applicable to the housing censuses provided for

in such section. However, section 201 of such title 13 (which

section was a part of such chapter 4), which, as indicated above,

has been carried into this revised section, could not, except,

possibly, for the provisions thereof relating to the territorial

scope of the censuses and to the census duties of the governors of

Guam, Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Canal Zone, have any

relevancy to such housing censuses, and such section 1442 of title

42, U.S.C., 1952 ed., contained its own provisions relating to

territorial scope of the housing censuses. Therefore the

provisions of this revised section have not been made so

applicable.

Changes were made in phraseology.

AMENDMENTS

1976 - Pub. L. 94-521 substituted ''Population and other census

information'' for ''Population, unemployment, and housing'' in

authorizing him to obtain other such census information as is

necessary, in connection with the decennial census.

Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 94-521 inserted ''under subsection (a) of

this section'' after ''population by States'', inserted ''in

Congress among the several States'' after ''Representatives'', and

Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 94-521 substituted ''the decennial census

date'' for ''the census date'' wherever appearing.

Subsecs. (d) to (g). Pub. L. 94-521 added subsecs. (d) to (g).

unemployment; territory excluded'' in section catchline; inserted

in text housing census provisions, struck out census coverage of

agriculture, irrigation, and drainage and geographical provisions,

and designated existing provisions as so amended as subsec. (a);

EFFECTIVE DATE OF 1976 AMENDMENT

Amendment by Pub. L. 94-521 effective Oct. 17, 1976, see section

17 of Pub. L. 94-521, set out as a note under section 1 of this

title.

STATISTICAL SAMPLING OR ADJUSTMENT IN DECENNIAL ENUMERATION OF

POPULATION

Pub. L. 105-119, title II, Sec. 209, Nov. 26, 1997, 111 Stat.

2480, provided that:

''(a) Congress finds that -

''(1) it is the constitutional duty of the Congress to ensure

that the decennial enumeration of the population is conducted in

a manner consistent with the Constitution and laws of the United

States;

''(2) the sole constitutional purpose of the decennial

enumeration of the population is the apportionment of

Representatives in Congress among the several States;

''(3) section 2 of the 14th article of amendment to the

Constitution clearly states that Representatives are to be

'apportioned among the several States according to their

respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each

State';

''(4) article I, section 2, clause 3 of the Constitution

clearly requires an 'actual Enumeration' of the population, and

section 195 of title 13, United States Code, clearly provides

'Except for the determination of population for purposes of

apportionment of Representatives in Congress among the several

States, the Secretary shall, if he considers it feasible,

authorize the use of the statistical method known as ''sampling''

in carrying out the provisions of this title.';

''(5) the decennial enumeration of the population is one of the

most critical constitutional functions our Federal Government

performs;

''(6) it is essential that the decennial enumeration of the

population be as accurate as possible, consistent with the

Constitution and laws of the United States;

''(7) the use of statistical sampling or statistical adjustment

in conjunction with an actual enumeration to carry out the census

with respect to any segment of the population poses the risk of

an inaccurate, invalid, and unconstitutional census;

''(8) the decennial enumeration of the population is a complex

and vast undertaking, and if such enumeration is conducted in a

manner that does not comply with the requirements of the

Constitution or laws of the United States, it would be

impracticable for the States to obtain, and the courts of the

United States to provide, meaningful relief after such

enumeration has been conducted; and

''(9) Congress is committed to providing the level of funding

that is required to perform the entire range of constitutional

census activities, with a particular emphasis on accurately

enumerating all individuals who have historically been

undercounted, and toward this end, Congress expects -

''(A) aggressive and innovative promotion and outreach

campaigns in hard-to-count communities;

''(B) the hiring of enumerators from within those

communities;

''(C) continued cooperation with local government on address

list development; and

''(D) maximized census employment opportunities for

individuals seeking to make the transition from welfare to

work.

''(b) Any person aggrieved by the use of any statistical method

in violation of the Constitution or any provision of law (other

than this Act (see Tables for classification)), in connection with

the 2000 or any later decennial census, to determine the population

for purposes of the apportionment or redistricting of Members in

Congress, may in a civil action obtain declaratory, injunctive, and

any other appropriate relief against the use of such method.

''(c) For purposes of this section -

''(1) the use of any statistical method as part of a dress

rehearsal or other simulation of a census in preparation for the

use of such method, in a decennial census, to determine the

population for purposes of the apportionment or redistricting of

Members in Congress shall be considered the use of such method in

connection with that census; and

''(2) the report ordered by title VIII of Public Law 105-18

(111 Stat. 217) and the Census 2000 Operational Plan shall be

deemed to constitute final agency action regarding the use of

statistical methods in the 2000 decennial census, thus making the

question of their use in such census sufficiently concrete and

final to now be reviewable in a judicial proceeding.

''(d) For purposes of this section, an aggrieved person

(described in subsection (b)) includes -

''(1) any resident of a State whose congressional

representation or district could be changed as a result of the

use of a statistical method challenged in the civil action;

''(2) any Representative or Senator in Congress; and

''(3) either House of Congress.

''(e)(1) Any action brought under this section shall be heard and

determined by a district court of three judges in accordance with

section 2284 of title 28, United States Code. The chief judge of

the United States court of appeals for each circuit shall, to the

extent practicable and consistent with the avoidance of unnecessary

delay, consolidate, for all purposes, in one district court within

that circuit, all actions pending in that circuit under this

section. Any party to an action under this section shall be

precluded from seeking any consolidation of that action other than

is provided in this paragraph. In selecting the district court in

which to consolidate such actions, the chief judge shall consider

the convenience of the parties and witnesses and efficient conduct

of such actions. Any final order or injunction of a United States

district court that is issued pursuant to an action brought under

this section shall be reviewable by appeal directly to the Supreme

Court of the United States. Any such appeal shall be taken by a

notice of appeal filed within 10 days after such order is entered;

and the jurisdictional statement shall be filed within 30 days

after such order is entered. No stay of an order issued pursuant

to an action brought under this section may be issued by a single

Justice of the Supreme Court.

''(2) It shall be the duty of a United States district court

hearing an action brought under this section and the Supreme Court

of the United States to advance on the docket and to expedite to

the greatest possible extent the disposition of any such matter.

''(f) Any agency or entity within the executive branch having

authority with respect to the carrying out of a decennial census

may in a civil action obtain a declaratory judgment respecting

whether or not the use of a statistical method, in connection with

such census, to determine the population for the purposes of the

apportionment or redistricting of Members in Congress is forbidden

by the Constitution and laws of the United States.

''(g) The Speaker of the House of Representatives or the

Speaker's designee or designees may commence or join in a civil

action, for and on behalf of the House of Representatives, under

any applicable law, to prevent the use of any statistical method,

in connection with the decennial census, to determine the

population for purposes of the apportionment or redistricting of

Members in Congress. It shall be the duty of the Office of the

General Counsel of the House of Representatives to represent the

House in such civil action, according to the directions of the

Speaker. The Office of the General Counsel of the House of

Representatives may employ the services of outside counsel and

other experts for this purpose.

''(h) For purposes of this section and section 210 (set out

below) -

''(1) the term 'statistical method' means an activity related

to the design, planning, testing, or implementation of the use of

representative sampling, or any other statistical procedure,

including statistical adjustment, to add or subtract counts to or

from the enumeration of the population as a result of statistical

inference; and

''(2) the term 'census' or 'decennial census' means a decennial

enumeration of the population.

''(i) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize the use

of any statistical method, in connection with a decennial census,

for the apportionment or redistricting of Members in Congress.

''(j) Sufficient funds appropriated under this Act or under any

other Act for purposes of the 2000 decennial census shall be used

by the Bureau of the Census to plan, test, and become prepared to

implement a 2000 decennial census, without using statistical

methods, which shall result in the percentage of the total

population actually enumerated being as close to 100 percent as

possible. In both the 2000 decennial census, and any dress

rehearsal or other simulation made in preparation for the 2000

decennial census, the number of persons enumerated without using

statistical methods must be publicly available for all levels of
