This report summarizes the results of the proposed United States Postal Service (Postal Service or USPS) Letter Carriers as Census Bureau Enumerators Pilot that was planned for implementation during the 2018 End-to-End Census Test. The scope of the pilot was to test and observe the use of Postal Service city letter carriers as Census Bureau enumerators in the context of an existing census test. The Pilot was planned for implementation in two ZIP Codes outside of, but adjacent to, the 2018 End-to-End Census Test site location in Providence County, RI: 02769 North Attleboro, MA, and 02888 Warwick, RI. The pilot was also planned to involve approximately 40 Postal Service city letter carriers operating out of a minimum of two post offices, one in each ZIP Code.

Following a significant planning effort, it was determined that the pilot could not be implemented because of irreconcilable differences between the requirements of 13 U.S.C. (Census Bureau) and 18/39 U.S.C. (USPS), as well as various regulations enacted thereunder. The pilot was canceled upon this determination and close-out activities were conducted.
