The Commission uses the county-equivalent areas as defined in Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 6-4, 1990 August 31. However, since 1990, five county-equivalent entities have changed.

December 28, 1990 - Alaska - Denali Borough (02068) was established. The new borough removes territory from the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area (02290) and an unpopulated part of Southeast Fairbanks Census Area (02240).
September 22, 1992 - Alaska - Yakutat Borough (02282) was established. The new borough removes territory from the Skagway-Yakutat-Angoon Census Area (02231). With the loss of Yakutat, that census area is renamed Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon (02232).
June 30, 1995 - Virginia - The independent city (county-equivalent) of South Boston (51780) reverted to town status. South Boston is an incorporated place within Halifax County (51083).
November 13, 1997 - Florida - Dade County (12025) officially changed its legal name to Miami-Dade County (12086).
July 19, 1999 - Montana - Yellowstone National Park (30113) shown as a county equivalent in 1990, is legally part of Gallatin County (30031) and Park County (30067). Therefore , this eliminates Yellowstone National Park as a county equivalent
