FROM THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FOR
DECENNIAL CENSUS PROGRAMS
Dear State Tribal Liaison:

The U.S. Census Bureau (Census Bureau) invites your state to participate in the 2020 Census
Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). Do not miss your once-per-decade opportunity to
review and update state reservations, state designated tribal statistical areas (SDTSAs), and
census designated places (CDPs) as part of the 2020 Census PSAP.
We strongly encourage your participation in the 2020 Census PSAP for the following reasons:
• The federal government allocates over $675 billion in federal funds annually for
infrastructure, programs, and services based on Census Bureau data.
• Participation ensures that state recognized tribes in your state will gain valuable information
that will aid in making decisions about education, health services, and housing.
• The 2020 Census PSAP is your only opportunity to review and update state reservations,
SDTSAs, and CDPs for your state prior to the 2020 Census.
Action Steps if you have state recognized tribes:
1. Review the enclosed 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) Information
Guide to learn more about PSAP and help your state prepare for participation.
2. Sign-up for the 2020 Census PSAP by filling out the enclosed State Tribal Liaison Contact
Update Form and State Recognized Tribes Update Form. Please return the completed forms in
the enclosed, postage-paid envelope or scan and e-mail the forms to geo.psap@census.gov,
within two weeks of receipt.
You can find statistical data for state recognized tribal areas in the Census Bureau’s My Tribal Area
application at https://www.census.gov/tribal/.
If  reports newly recognized state tribes, the Census Bureau will provide you the materials
necessary to participate in the PSAP. If there are no state recognized tribes to report, please return the
State Recognized Tribes Update Form stating NO CHANGE in boxes 1 and 2.

census.gov

Note: Please only provide updates for state recognized tribes in your state. The Census Bureau will
contact all federally recognized American Indian tribes directly to request their participation in PSAP.
The Census Bureau will offer webinar training for the 2020 Census PSAP beginning in February 2019.
Details are available on the PSAP Web site at
http://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/about/psap.html.
