**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
On February 20, 2025, *Federal Register* Document 2025-02857 was published, which provided the Census Bureau's plans for the 2026 Government Units Survey. The Census Bureau has recently determined that alternative data collection methods for identifying and classifying active governments for the Census of Governments are reliable. These methods include reviewing legislation and leveraging direct agreements with states. This will support data quality while alleviating respondent burden for local governments. This notice serves as notification of the cancellation of this collection after the *Federal Register* notice was published for public comment.
