Abstract
The Census Bureau will conduct a virtual tribal consultation on the Proof of Concept for the Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A (DHC-A) on February 23, 2023. Feedback on the Proof of Concept will help inform final decisions on the 2020 Census Detailed DHC-A. The tribal consultation reflects the Census Bureau's continuous commitment to strengthen nation-to-nation relationships with federally recognized tribes. The Census Bureau's procedures for outreach, notice, and consultation ensure involvement of tribes to the extent practicable and permitted by law before making decisions or implementing policies, rules, or programs that affect federally recognized tribal governments. These meetings are open to citizens of federally recognized tribes by invitation. The Census Bureau provided information on the feedback it is seeking in preparation for the tribal consultation focused on the Proof of Concept for the Detailed DHC-A. In that regard, the Census Bureau is asking tribal governments to review the Proof of Concept and accompanying materials. We would like to hear from tribal nations if they will be impacted positively, negatively, or not at all, if we release the Detailed DHC-A using the current specifications outlined in the Proof of Concept. Please provide the level of geography, description of the use case(s), and implications should the data be released as reflected in this Proof of Concept. The purpose of the tribal consultation is to hear tribes' recommendations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with Executive Order 13175,
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, issued
November 6, 2000, the Census Bureau has adhered to its tribal
consultation policy by seeking the input of tribal governments in the
planning and implementation of the 2020 Census with the goal of
ensuring the most accurate counts and data for the American Indian and
Alaska Native population. The Census Bureau is planning a tribal
consultation on February 23, 2023, with federally recognized tribes, so
tribes can provide feedback on the Proof of Concept for the Detailed
Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A (Detailed DHC-A). The
Detailed DHC-A and Detailed DHC-B are successors to the American Indian
and Alaska Native Summary File (AIANSF) that was produced in previous
censuses. The current Proof of Concept focuses on Detailed DHC-A, and
the Census Bureau will provide more information on Detailed DHC-B
later. The Detailed DHC-A provides population counts and sex by age
statistics for approximately 370 detailed racial and ethnic groups,
such as German, Lebanese, Jamaican, Chinese, Native Hawaiian, and
Mexican, as well as about 1,200 detailed American Indian and Alaska
Native tribal and village population groups, such as Native Village of
Hooper Bay (Naparyarmiut) and Navajo Nation. The Proof of Concept
demonstrates how the product's differentially private algorithm, called
SafeTab-P, determines the amount of data each tribe or village will
receive based on population size
[[Page 3711]]
and geography level while ensuring sufficient confidentiality
protections.
Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A (Detailed DHC-
A)
<bullet> Subjects: Population counts and sex by age statistics for
approximately 370 detailed racial and ethnic groups, such as German,
Lebanese, Jamaican, Chinese, Native Hawaiian, and Mexican, as well as
about 1,200 detailed American Indian and Alaska Native tribal and
village population groups, such as Native Village of Hooper Bay
(Naparyarmiut) and Navajo Nation.
<bullet> The Detailed DHC-A uses a design that determines the
amount of data tribes and villages will receive based on group size and
geography level. This design will use minimum population counts to
determine eligibility for a total population count table and an age by
sex table. The 2010 AIANSF used a single population threshold of 100
for every table in every geographic area (2010 AIANSF technical
documentation page 1-1). The proposed thresholds for the 2020 Detailed
DHC-A product are determined dynamically and are all less than 100 in
the Proof of Concept product.
<bullet> Access: <a href="http://data.census.gov">data.census.gov</a>.
<bullet> Geographies: Nation, state, county, American Indian/Alaska
Native/Native Hawaiian (AIANNH) areas, place (cities and towns) and
census tract.
<bullet> Planned release date: August 2023.
Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File (Detailed DHC-B)
<bullet> Subjects: Household type and tenure (i.e., owner- or
renter-occupied) for the same detailed race and ethnicity groups and
American Indian and Alaska Native tribal and village population groups
mentioned for the Detailed DHC-A.
<bullet> The Detailed DHC-B has a proposed design similar to the
Detailed DHC-A.
<bullet> Access: <a href="http://data.census.gov">data.census.gov</a>.
<bullet> Geographies: Nation, state, county, American Indian/Alaska
Native/Native Hawaiian (AIANNH) areas, place (cities and towns) and
census tract.
<bullet> Planned release date: To be determined.
