Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 233 / Wednesday, December 8, 2021 / Notices
more than 10,000 of the voting-age citizens are members of a singlelanguage minority group, do not speak or understand English adequately enough to participate in the electoral process, and the rate of those citizens who have not completed the fifth grade is higher than the national rate of voting-age citizens who have not completed the fifth grade.
Finally, if more than five 5 percent of the American Indian or Alaska Native voting-age citizens residing within an American Indian Area, as defined for the purposes of the decennial census, are members of a single language minority group, do not speak or understand English adequately enough to participate in the electoral process, and the rate of those citizens who have not completed the fifth grade is higher than the national rate of voting-age citizens who have not completed the fifth grade, any political subdivision, such as a county, which contains all or any part of that American Indian Area, is covered by the minority language assistance provision set forth in Section 203. For the 2020 Census, American Indian areas and Alaska Native Regional Corporations were identified by the
federally recognized tribal governments, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and state governments. The Census Bureau worked with American Indians and Alaska Natives to identify statistical areas, such as Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Areas OTSA, Tribal Designated Statistical Areas TDSA, State Designated Tribal Statistical Areas SDTSA, and Alaska Native Village Statistical Areas ANVSA.
Pursuant to Section 203, the Census Bureau Director has the responsibility to determine which states and political subdivisions are subject to the minority language assistance provisions of Section 203. The Section 203
determinations are generated using data from the American Community Survey, or comparable census data, as directed by the Act. To find more detailed information, please see the documentation on the 2021 tab of the Section 203 Language Determinations internet site at https www.census.gov/
programs-surveys/decennial-census/
about/voting-rights/voting-rightsdetermination-file.html. The state and political subdivisions obligated to comply with the requirements are listed in this Notice.

Section 203 also provides that the determinations of the Director of the Census under this subsection shall be effective upon publication in the Federal Register and shall not be subject to review in any court.
Therefore, as of this date, those jurisdictions that are listed as covered by Section 203 have a legal obligation to provide the minority language assistance prescribed in Section 203 of the Act. In the cases where a state is covered, those counties or county equivalents not displayed in the attachment are exempt from the obligation. Those jurisdictions subject to Section 203 of the Act previously, but not included on the list in this Notice, are no longer obligated to comply with Section 203.
Ron S. Jarmin, Acting Director, Census Bureau, approved the publication of this Notice in the Federal Register.
Dated: December 2, 2021.
Sheleen Dumas, Department PRA Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer, Commerce Department.
