    The Census Bureau also is giving notice of the following Census 
Advisory Committee (CAC) meetings: A special Joint Census Advisory 
Committee meeting of the CACs on Race and Ethnic Populations (REAC) and

Integrated Communications Campaign. Last minute changes to the schedule

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CACs on the African American Population, 
American Indian and Alaska Native Populations, the Asian Population, 
the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander Populations, and the 
Hispanic Population are composed of nine members each, appointed by the 
Secretary of Commerce. The Committees provide an outside-user 
perspective about how census research, design, and implementation plans 
for the 2010 re-engineered decennial census, the American Community 
Survey, and related decennial programs improve census participation, 
data quality, and accuracy for these population groups. The Committees 
also advise the Census Bureau on ways census data products can best be 
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 broader policy and technical goals of the decennial 
census, including the American Community Survey, from the perspective 
of outside data users, state, local, and tribal entities, special 
populations, 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, U.S. Census Bureau, on the full range of Census Bureau 
programs and activities in relation to each committee's areas of 
expertise and focus.
    All the Committees discussed in this notice have been established 
in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Title 5, United 
States Code, Appendix 2, section 10(a)(b)).
    A brief period will be set aside for public comment. However,
