The complaint alleged that Secretary of Commerce Donald Evans revoked the delegation of authority to the Director of the Census to make a final determination whether statistically adjusted figures should be released to the States and localities for redistricting purposes (by amending 15 C.F.R. Part 101) without allowing a period for notice and comment on the revocation, in violation of � 553 of the Administrative Procedures Act. The complaint requested a declaration that the revocation was invalid and an injunction against implementing it.

The complaint was dismissed on or about April 26, 2001.
