SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-
463, as amended by Pub. L. 94-409, Pub. L. 96-523, and Pub. L. 97-375), 
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 (CAC) 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 census effort, including the American Community 
Survey and other related decennial programs. They will also discuss 
Census 2000 evaluations. The five Census Advisory Committees on Race 
and Ethnicity will meet separately on November 7 and in plenary and 
concurrent sessions on November 8 and 9. Last minute changes to the 
schedule are possible, which could prevent us from giving advance 
notice.

DATES: November 7-9, 2001. The November 7 meeting will begin at 12:30 
p.m. and end at approximately 5:30 p.m. The November 8 meeting will 
begin at 8:15 a.m. and end at 5:30 p.m. The November 9 meeting will 
begin at 8:15 a.m. and end at 3:15 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meetings will be held at the Hilton Alexandria Mark 
Center, 5000 Seminary Road, Alexandria, Virginia 22311.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Jeri Green, Committee Liaison 
Officer, U.S. Census Bureau, Commerce, Room 3619, Federal Building 3, 
Washington, DC 20233, telephone (301) 457-2075, TDD (301) 457-2540.

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 populations and the Census Bureau. The 
Committee provides an outside user perspective about how research and 
design plans for the 2010 Decennial Census, the American Community 
Survey, and other related programs will realize those goals and satisfy 
those needs. They assist the Census Bureau on identifying ways that 
census data can best be disseminated to diverse race and ethnic 
populations and other users.
    All meetings are open to the public, and a brief period will be set 
aside on November 9 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.
    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.
