SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. 
Appendix 2, section 10(a)(b), 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 (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. 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. Last-minute changes to the schedule are possible, which 
could prevent us from giving advance notification.

DATES: April 29-May 1, 2002. On April 29, the meeting will begin 
approximately 9 a.m. and end approximately 4:30 p.m. On April 30, the 
meeting will begin approximately 8:30 a.m. and end approximately 5:30 
p.m. On May 1, the meeting will begin approximately 9 a.m. and end 
approximately 1 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meetings will be held in the Francis Amasa Walker 
Conference Center, at the U.S. Census Bureau, 4700 Silver Hill Road, 
Federal Office Building 3, Suitland, MD 20746.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeri Green, Committee Liaison Officer,

Building 3, Washington, DC 20233, telephone 301-457-2075, TDD 301-457-

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.
    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.
