SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CACs on the African American Population,
American Indian and Alaska Native Populations, the Asian Population,
the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander Populations, and the
Hispanic Population are composed of nine members each, appointed by the
Secretary of Commerce. The Committees provide an outside-user
perspective about how census research, design, and implementation plans
for the 2010 re-engineered decennial census, the American Community
Survey, and related decennial programs improve census participation,
data quality, and accuracy for these population groups. The Committees
also advise the Census Bureau on ways census data products can best be
disseminated to diverse race and ethnic populations and other users.
The 2010 CAC is composed of a Chair, Vice-Chair, and 20 member
organizations--all appointed by the Secretary of Commerce. The
Committee considers broader policy and technical goals of the decennial
census, including the American Community Survey, from the perspective
of outside data users, state, local, and tribal entities, special
populations, and other organizations having a substantial interest and
expertise in the conduct and outcome of the decennial census.
The CACPA is composed of 36 members appointed by the Presidents of
the American Economic Association, the American Statistical
Association, the Population Association of America, and the Chairman of
the Board of the American Marketing Association. The Committee advises
the Director, U.S. Census Bureau, on the full range of Census Bureau
programs and activities in relation to each committee's areas of
expertise and focus.
All the Committees discussed in this notice have been established
in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Title 5, United
States Code, Appendix 2, section 10(a)(b)).
