## Abstract

The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) is issuing this final rule to establish the process for requesting certification of Census Bureau documents (i.e., tables, maps, reports, etc.) and the pricing structure for that service. A certification confirms that a product is a true and accurate copy of a Census Bureau document. The Census Bureau is issuing this final rule to create a centralized system for certifying Census Bureau documents and to accurately reflect the true costs associated with certification.
