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. <http://www.census.gov/sdc/www/>http://www.census.gov/sdc/www/
