The Department of Transportation Rules 14 MCAR 3 1.5032, Section F. - states that the Commissioner of Transportation must certify the annual • apportionment on or before January 25-of each year. The Department of Revenue uses Chapter 275.53'in making the apportionment of Local Government Aid to Cities. 275.53 GOVERNING CENSUS. Subdivision 1.
