The Committees will address issues related to 2010 decennial planning, development, and testing, as well as the American Community Survey and other related decennial programs. The five CACs on Race and Ethnicity will meet separately on April 29 and May 1 and in plenary and concurrent sessions on April 30.

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 Census Bureau. The Committees provide an outside user perspective about how research and design plans for the 2010 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 on May 1 for public comment and questions. 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.
