nized in the 1960 Census, for all places containing fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, and for places with more than 10,000 inhabitants but with fewer than 400 housing units with nonwhite head. (For places of 10,000 inhabitants or more with 400 or more housing units with nonwhite head, the data are available from the census publications.) These data are used to obtain counts and classifications of "substandard" housing units as defined by the Public Housing Administration. (A unit is defined as substandard by Public Housing Administration criteria if it is either (a) dilapidated or (b) lacks one or more of the following plumbing facilities: hot and cold piped water inside the structure, flush toilet inside the structure for exclusive use of the occupants of the unit, and bathtub (or shower) inside the structure for exclusive use of the occupants of the unit.)

§ 50.35 Fee structure for seasonal adjustments of time series.

The Bureau of the Census carries out seasonal adjustments of time series for other Government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and for appropriate foreign governments as a matter of international courtesy. The adjustments may be based on monthly or quarterly data collected by the Bureau of the Census or furnished by the requesting organization. Series submitted for adjustment must be for a period of not less than four years and not more than 50 years, must be continuous, and have no more than six digits in a single month or quarter. In addition to the seasonal adjustment factors and the seasonally adjusted series, charts and summary measures of the seasonal, cyclical, and irregular characteristics of the series are provided. The charge for furnishing these series, including card punching, is $8 per series for the standard program and $8 per series for various experimental programs.

§ 50.40

Fee structure for statistics for city blocks in the 1970 Censuses of Population and Housing.

(a) General: In the 1970 Censuses of Population and Housing, the Bureau of the Census will tabulate and publish data for city blocks for all cities with a population of 50,000 or more in the 1960 Census or subsequent special census conducted by the Bureau of the Census. The data include: count of population, the number of housing units, tenure, value or rent, plumbing and other facilities, the number of occupied units with Negro household head, the number of units with 1.01 or more persons per room, and other selected population and housing characteristics. Additional information on an unpublished basis may be available at cost of reproduction.

(b) Additional coverage through cooperation or contract. In addition to data for cities of 50,000 or more, the Bureau

will also tabulate and publish block statistics for smaller cities and for certain other areas provided the appropriate regional planning group or local authority agrees to provide the necessary assistance or contracts for the statistics as described below for the particular type of

area.

(1) Cooperation for remainder of an urbanized area of the SMSA.

(i) In addition to data for cities of 50,000 or more, the Bureau will tabulate block data for the remainder of an urbanized area of the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area provided a metropolitan regional planning group agrees to cooperate as follows:

(a) For urbanized areas to be enumerated by mail, review the map prepared by the Bureau of the Census and help to prepare the Address Coding Guide to identify blocks.

(b) For urbanized areas not to be enumerated by mail, review the map prepared by the Bureau of the Census.

(ii) When the regional group does not provide the required cooperation, as stated above, an individual locality may do so and assure block tabulations for the area for which the assistance is provided. In such instances the local authority must sign a letter of intent by May 1, 1968, agreeing to review the maps by July 1, 1968, and the Address Coding Guide by November 1, 1968, if needed.

(iii) The Bureau will provide the cooperating organization with two copies of the machine tabulation sheets and one copy of the map. Additional copies will be provided at cost.

(iv) In urbanized areas, for cities whose last official census count was less than 50,000 but which are reported with a population of 50,000 or more in the 1970 census and where cooperation was provided, block data will also be tabulated and published.

(2) Contract block statistics for urban places outside 1970 urbanized areas.

(i) For cities with the last official population of less than 50,000 block data will be tabulated and published only if the local authorities:

(a) Submit by July 1, 1968, a signed copy of the contract furnished by the Bureau, and an advance payment of $200 in the form of a check or money order made payable to Census-Department of Commerce.

(b) Furnish by September 1, 1968, block maps prepared according to the Bureau's specifications and assist in the preparation of the Address Coding Guide, if needed.

(iii) The above fee covers the tabulation and publication of the data, with 100 copies of the report to be provided to the purchaser. The fee will be refunded to any city which contracts for the data and reaches a population of 50,000 or more in the 1970 Census.

(c) Determination as to 1970 urbanized areas. To determine whether a city or other area is within the anticipated limits of the 1970 urbanized area, the city should determine whether it was in the 1960 urbanized area, since the 1960 urbanized areas are automatically part of the 1970 areas. Maps of the 1960 urbanized areas are shown in the 1960 Census of Population report, Volume I, Characteristics of the Population, Part A, Number of Inhabitants. If the city was not part of the 1960 urbanized area, an inquiry should be directed to the Bureau.

(d) Directing requests and inquiries. Requests to participate in the foregoing programs should be addressed to the Director, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233. Inquiries as to the method of enumeration to be used for an SMSA, whether or not metropolitan planning officials have agreed to perform the required preparatory work to permit the tabulation of block statistics for urbanized areas, and other inquiries relating to the program should also be addressed to the Director.
