SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CACs on the African American Population,

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 Census 
Bureau. The Committees provide an outside-user perspective about how 
research and design plans for the 2010 re-engineered decennial census, 
the ACS, and other related programs realize goals and satisfy needs 
associated with these communities. The Committees also assist the 
Census Bureau on ways that census data can best be disseminated to 
diverse race and ethnic populations and other users. The Committees are 
established in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(Title 5, United States Code, Appendix 2, section10(a)(b)).
    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 Ms. 
Jeri Green 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
