AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of charter renewal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) is giving notice that 
it has renewed the Census Advisory Committee on the African American 
Population.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeri Green, Committee Liaison Officer, 
Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Room 3627, Federal Office 
Building 3, Washington, DC 20233, telephone (301) 763-2070, TTY (301) 
457-2540.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the provisions of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, Title 5, United States Code, Appendix 
2, and the General Services Administration (GSA) rule on Federal 
Advisory Committee Management, Title 41, Code of Federal Regulations, 
Part 101-6, and after consultation with GSA, the Secretary of Commerce 
has determined that the renewal of the Census Advisory Committee on the 
African American Population is in the public interest in connection 
with the performance of duties imposed by law on the Department of 
Commerce.
    The Committee was first established in February 1985 to advise the 
Director of the U.S. Census Bureau on ways to reduce the differential 
undercount for all populations in the 1990 census with a particular 
emphasis and focus on the African American population. Upon meeting the 
standards set forth in Executive Order 12838, in that its charter is of 
compelling national interest and that other methods of obtaining public 
participation have been considered, the Committee was rechartered in 
the following years to provide input on subsequent decennial censuses: 
1987, 1989, 1991, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2004.
    The Committee will consist of a Chair, Vice-Chair, and seven other 
members with a substantial interest in the conduct and outcome of the 
decennial census, the American Community Survey, and related programs. 
The Committee includes academicians, community leaders, and appropriate 
individuals from the public at large.
    The Committee will function solely as an advisory body, and in 
compliance with provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. 
Copies of the revised

charter will be filed with the appropriate Committees of the Congress 
and with the Library of Congress.

    Dated: March 3, 2006.
Charles Louis Kincannon,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
