Memorandum 2022.07: Updates to the Data Products and Dissemination Operation
Memorandum 2022.07: Updates to the Data Products and Dissemination Operation
Memorandum 2022.07
This memorandum documents specific updates to the Data Products and Dissemination operation (DPD) since the release of the Detailed Operational Plan on January 19, 2019.
Changes to this operation resulted primarily from delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic’s impacts on the 2020 Census schedule affected field operations through data integration. Additional steps to assess data quality and perform additional processing subsequently also delayed the delivery of data products such as apportionment counts and redistricting data. The schedule for these additional steps was explicitly supported by Executive Order 13986, dated January 20, 2021.
