Title: ●Eliminating Unnecessary and Restrictive Regulations Related to the Release of Decennial Census Population Information 
Abstract:

The Census Bureau (the Bureau) is removing 15 CFR part 101, which contains regulations related to the release of decennial census population information.  The provisions of part 101 are obsolete and have not applied to the determination of methodology for calculating the tabulations of total population reported to states and localities under 13 U.S.C. 141(c) since the decennial census in 2000.  This removal is necessary to remove obsolete regulatory language and keep the Bureau’s regulations current, and also to ensure that the Secretary of Commerce (the Secretary) is able to fulfill his statutory obligations without being hindered by an unnecessary administrative process.
