SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Census Bureau is planning two tribal consultations on October 18, 2022, in Anchorage, Alaska and October 31, 2022, in Sacramento, California, with federally recognized tribes, so tribes can provide feedback on the content and design of the 2020 Census Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A (Detailed DHC-A) and Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File B (Detailed DHC-B). These two products are the successor products to the American Indian and Alaska Native Summary File (AIANSF) that was produced in previous censuses. The Detailed DHC-A provides population counts and sex by age statistics for approximately 370 detailed racial and ethnic groups, such as German, Lebanese, Jamaican, Chinese, Native Hawaiian, and Mexican, as well as about 1,200 detailed American Indian and Alaska Native tribal and village population groups, such as Native Village of Hooper Bay (Naparyarmiut) and Navajo Nation. The Detailed DHC-B provides household type and tenure information for the same detailed race and ethnicity groups and American Indian and Alaska Native tribal and village population groups.
In accordance with Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, issued November 6, 2000, the Census Bureau has adhered to its tribal consultation policy by seeking the input of tribal governments in the planning and implementation of the 2020 Census with the goal of ensuring the most accurate counts and data for the American Indian and Alaska Native population. In that regard, the Census Bureau is seeking comments on the content and design of the 2020 Census Detailed DHC-A and Detailed DHC-B, which include data on detailed race and ethnic groups and American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages.

• The Detailed DHC-A implements an adaptive design that provides more detailed statistics for racial and ethnic groups with larger populations, while at the same time ensuring sufficient confidentiality protections.
