Only those jurisdictions that participated in Option 1 or Option 2 are eligible to file an appeal. Option 3 participants are not eligible to file an appeal since they did not receive the Census Address List and, therefore, will not know which addresses are missing from the Census Bureau's Full Address List.
The appeals process and instruction can be found in the federal register notice: “Procedures for Participating in the Appeals Process for the 2010 Decennial Census Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program” [PDF] [TEXT]. Published: 15 September 2009.
Appeals Staff Address
Participants must submit their Appeal address materials to the Appeals Staff via regular or Express Mail or overnight delivery service, and must keep a record of the date it mails these materials. The ‘‘filing date’’ for the Appeal is the date the Appeal is postmarked or the date it is shipped by the delivery service. All Appeals filed after the deadline (30 calendar days from the date you receive your feedback materials) will be denied as untimely. If using FedEx, UPS or another delivery service not affiliated with the USPS, use the Direct Deliveries address identified below.
Direct Deliveries (FedEx, UPS):
LUCA Appeals Staff
Room 3H160
4600 Silver Hill Rd.
Suitland, MD 20746-7199
Mail Address (USPS):
LUCA Appeals Staff
Room 3H160

Do not mail address appeals to the Census Bureau Regional Census Centers or the National Processing Center. It is imperative that your address appeal package be returned to the Appeals Staff ONLY. The Appeals Staff will deem all misdirected returns as untimely.
