SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Title 5, 
United States Code, Appendix 2, section 10(a)(b), the Bureau of the 
Census (Census Bureau) is giving notice of a joint meeting, followed by 
separate and concurrently held meetings of the Census Advisory 
Committees (CACs) on the African American Population, the American 
Indian and Alaska Native Populations, the Asian Population, the 
Hispanic Population, and the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander 
Populations. The Committees will address issues related to the 2010 
reengineered decennial census, including the American Community Survey 
and other related decennial programs. The five Census Advisory 
Committees on Race and Ethnicity will meet in plenary and concurrent 
sessions on May 6 and 7. Last-minute changes to the schedule are 
possible, which could prevent us from giving advance notification.

DATES: May 6-7, 2003. On May 6, the meeting will begin at approximately 
8 a.m. and end at approximately 5:30 p.m. On May 7, the meeting will 
begin at approximately 8 a.m. and end at approximately 12:15 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Sheraton Reston Hotel, 11810 
Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, Virginia 20191.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeri Green, Committee Liaison Officer, 
Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Room 3627, Federal Office 
Building 3, Washington, DC 20233, telephone (301) 763-2070, TTY (301)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CACs on the African American Population, 
the American Indian and Alaska Native Populations, the Asian 
Population, the Hispanic Population, and the Native Hawaiian and Other 
Pacific Islander Populations are comprised of nine members each. The 
Committees provide an organized and continuing channel of communication 
between the representative race and ethnic populations and the U.S. 
Census Bureau. The Committees provide an outside-user perspective about 
how research and design plans for the 2010 reengineered decennial 
census, the American Community Survey, and other related programs 
realize goals and satisfy needs associated with these communities. They 
also assist the Census Bureau on ways that census data can best be 
disseminated to diverse race and ethnic populations and other users.
    All meetings are open to the public. A brief period will be set 
aside at the meeting for public comment. However, individuals with 
extensive questions or statements must submit them in writing to the 
Committee Liaison Officer, named above, at least three days before the 
meeting. Seating is available to the public on a first-come, first-
served basis.
    These meetings are physically accessible to people with 
disabilities. Requests for sign language interpretation or other 
auxiliary aids should be directed to the Committee Liaison Officer as 
soon as known and preferably two weeks prior to the meeting.
