Who takes responsibility for large database uploads to OSM? ... Can I

I'd start here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines
(apologies if you've already read that, but I suspect that more than a
few readers of this list may not have done)
There are lots of things to think about in there, and that page is not
all about "reasons not to import" - lots of OSM communities worldwide
have decided to import data that it wouldn't be practical to obtain any
other way, but it's important that it's a community decision and not
just the decision of one person.
Also, since you are thinking of importing TIGER data it might we worthwhile
asking on the OpenStreetMap USA list,
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us , in case anyone is just
about to work on the same area as you.
I also presume you have already seen
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TIGER and its associated pages, which may
help with attribution, which tags to use, and possibly which tools are the
best to use for the actual import (in particular
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TIGER_2009#Importing).
