Indian and Alaska Native Populations, the Asian Population, the

and other related decennial programs. The five CACs on Race and 
Ethnicity will meet in plenary and concurrent sessions on May 5-7. Last

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CACs on the African American Population,

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 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.
    All meetings are open to the public. A brief period will be set 
aside at the meeting for public comment. However,
