Just to add a bit more information...
In addition to tracts and block groups, PSAP includes Census Designated
Places and Census County Divisions (the latter used only in about 20
states).
MPO-type folks should really be in the middle of this activity, as it is
historically organized by metro area with the SDCs working on the
non-metro areas.
I am what used to be called the "key person" and is now called
the "principal contact" for the Detroit area. I've been
doing this stuff since before the 1980 census.

I got a question about
PSAP today and thought it would be worthwhile to post to the CTPP
listserv:
To be short and sweet, PSAP is largely for TRACT and BLOCK GROUP
definition for the 2010 Census.

There are probably other geographic areas that are also included.
From glancing through the PSAP materials, it appears that the Census
Bureau wants you to contact their regional office:

However, you may want to contact your State Data Center (SDC) who may
already have established lead agencies for different counties in your
state.
