I can't answer your question directly, but I think it is important to note that many DOT's will be modifying the Census Definition for use in transportation planning. Therefore, if you concur with a modified boundary with the DOT, that boundary would probably not have bearing on another Federal agency's programs.

I have a fairly good understanding of the impact that new and re-aligned urban bounds will have in our State's Federal allotment of funds from US DOT. Does anyone know what other Federal agencies (other than DOT) use urbanized boundaries (either urban areas or clusters) for administrative and/or funding purposes?
