[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 15, Volume 1] [Revised as of January 1, 2002] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 15CFR90.5] [Page 352-353] TITLE 15--COMMERCE AND FOREIGN TRADE CHAPTER I--BUREAU OF THE CENSUS, DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE PART 90--PROCEDURE FOR CHALLENGING CERTAIN POPULATION AND INCOME ESTIMATES--Table of Contents Sec. 90.5 When an informal challenge may be filed. An informal challenge to the population or per capita income estimates may be filed any time up to 180 days after the release of the estimates by the Bureau of the Census. Publication by the Bureau of the Census and simultaneous publication of a release notification in the Federal Register shall constitute release. A challenge to any estimate may also be filed any time up to 180 days from the date the Census Bureau, on its own initiative, revises that estimate. If, however, a State or unit of local government has sufficiently meritorious reason for not filing in a timely [[Page 353]] manner, the Census Bureau has the discretion to accept the challenge.
