To: All agencies using TAZ-UP for TAZ definition for CTPP 2000 By now most of you are completing the TAZ definition for the Census Bureau using TAZ-UP. As you proceed to complete your plans, please remember to store and archive your TAZ-UP directories. In early 2000, phase II of the TAZ definition program will be the opportunity for you to verify that TIGER/Line 99 has correctly added your TAZs, and for you to submit changes, if needed. Because the new version of TAZ-UP for the verification phase will use the files you submit in October *99, it is important to keep a copy of these files and have them available in January 2000. Also, please make sure you will have adequate room on your hard drive when TIGER/Line 99 files arrive January-March, 1999 because you will need to have both- Files processed from TIGER/Line 98 and the new files processed from TIGER/Line 99 for verification.
