Tomorrow is Last Day to Ensure You Are Included in 2010 Census
Telephone Assistance Line Closes July 30

The U.S. Census Bureau reminds the nation that Friday, July 30, it will
shut down its toll-free telephone assistance line. More than 130,000
interviews have been completed via the toll free line. Friday is the last
day for callers who feel they may have been overlooked in the census to
complete their 2010 questionnaire quickly over the phone.

"I urge residents that believe they did not receive a form, who did
not mail it back or have not been contacted by a census enumerator to call
1-866-872-6868 to ensure they are included in the 2010 Census, making this
the best count of the American population to date," said U.S. Census
Bureau Director Robert M. Groves.

For more than three months, individuals who believed they weren’t
included in the census were invited to call the toll-free assistance lines
(open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean,
Vietnamese and Russian) to provide their information.

July 30 is the last day to take an interview over the toll free line
to leave enough time for Census Bureau professionals to process the data
and ensure that residents are counted in the right place and prepare the
state population counts by the statutory deadline of Dec. 31, 2010.


ABOUT THE 2010 CENSUS

The 2010 Census is a count of everyone living in the United States and
is mandated by the U.S. Constitution. Census data are used to apportion
congressional seats to states, to distribute more than $400 billion in
federal funds to tribal, state and local governments each year and to make
decisions about what community services to provide. The 2010 Census form
is one of the shortest in U.S. history, consisting of 10 questions, taking
about 10 minutes to complete. Strict confidentiality laws protect the
respondents and the information they provide.
