1Opinion of the Court
Sentelle, Senior Circuit Judge:
On March 26, 2018, the Department of Commerce announced that a citizenship question would be added to the 2020 Census. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) contends that, before this announcement was made, its members were entitled to a Privacy Impact Assessment by law. EPIC sued to enjoin the addition of the question on this basis, and now appeals the district court's denial of its motion for a preliminary injunction. Because EPIC lacks standing, we remand to the district court with instructions to dismiss.
