SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CACs on the African American Population,

Pacific Islander Populations are comprised of nine members each. The 
Committees provide an organized and continuing channel of communication

Census Bureau. The Committee provides 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.

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.
