SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The U.S. Census Bureau is committed to counting every person in the 
2020 Census once, only once, and in the right place. The fundamental 
reason that the decennial census is conducted is to fulfill the 
Constitutional requirement (Article I, Section 2) to apportion the 
seats in the U.S. House of Representatives among the states. Thus, for 
a fair and equitable apportionment, it is crucial that the Census 
Bureau counts everyone in the right place during the decennial census.
    The residence criteria are used to determine where people are 
counted during each decennial census. For more information on the 
Proposed 2020 Census Residence Criteria and Residence Situations (also 
referred to as the proposed ``2020 Census Residence Rule and Residence 
Situations'' in the text of the earlier document), please see the 
original document of proposed criteria and request for comment 
published in the Federal Register on June 30, 2016 (81 FR 42577).
    Because of the scope of the proposed criteria, and in response to 
individuals and organizations who have requested more time to review 
the proposed criteria, the Census Bureau has decided to extend the 
comment period for an additional 31 days. This document announces the 
extension of the public comment period to September 1, 2016.
