SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CACs on the African American Population,

Committees provide an outside-user perspective about how research and 
design plans for the reengineered 2010 Decennial Census, the American 
Community Survey (ACS), and other related programs realize goals and 
satisfy needs associated with these communities. The committees also

disseminated to diverse race and ethnic populations and other users.
    The 2010 CAC is composed of a Chair, Vice-Chair, and 20 member 
organizations--all appointed by the Secretary of Commerce. The 
Committee considers the goals of the decennial census, including the 
ACS and related programs, and users' needs for information provided by 
the decennial census from the perspective of outside data users and 
other organizations having a substantial interest and expertise in the 
conduct and outcome of the decennial census.
    The CACPA is composed of 36 members appointed by the presidents of 
the American Economic Association, the American Statistical 
Association, the Population Association of America, and the Chairman of 
the Board of the American Marketing Association. The committee advises 
the Director of the Census Bureau on the full range of Census Bureau 
programs and activities in relation to each committee's areas of 
expertise and focus.
