census, the American Community Survey and other related programs

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.
