SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the provisions of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, Title 5 United States Code App. 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, Census Advisory Committee on the American 
Indian and Alaska Native Populations, Census Advisory Committee on the 
Asian Population, Census Advisory Committee on the Hispanic Populations 
and Census Advisory Committee on the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific 
Islander Population are in the public interest in connection with the 
performance of duties imposed by law on the U.S. Department of 
Commerce.
    These committees were established in 1970 to obtain expertise 
relating to major programs, such as the decennial census and American 
Community Survey. 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 committees were rechartered in March 2002, February 2004, February 
2006, and again in February 2008.
    These committees will consist of nine members with a substantial 
interest in the conduct and outcome of the Census Bureau's 
communication, decennial, demographic, geographic, Information 
Technology, and other programs. The committees include representatives 
from the public and private sectors, community-based organizations, 
academic institutions, and the public-at-large, which are further 
diversified by ethnicity, life experience, geographic area, and other 
variables.
    These committees will function solely as advisory bodies and in 
compliance with provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. 
Copies of the revised charters are filed with the appropriate 
committees of Congress and with the Library of Congress.

    Dated: March 16, 2010.
Robert M. Groves,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
