Objectives and Duties

    1. The Committee advises the Director of the Census Bureau (the 
Director) on the full range of economic, housing, demographic, 
socioeconomic, linguistic, technological, methodological, geographic, 
behavioral, and operational variables affecting the cost, accuracy, and 
implementation of Census Bureau programs and surveys, including the 
decennial census.
    2. The Committee advises the Census Bureau on the identification of 
new strategies for improved census operations, and survey and data 
collection methods, including identifying cost efficient ways to 
increase response rates.
    3. The Committee provides guidance on census policies, research and 
methodology, tests, operations, communications/messaging, and other 
activities to ascertain needs and best practices to improve censuses, 
surveys, operations, and programs.
    4. The Committee reviews and provides formal recommendations and 
feedback on working papers, reports, and other documents related to the 
design and implementation of Census Bureau programs and surveys.
    5. In providing insight, perspectives, and expertise on the full 
spectrum of Census Bureau surveys and programs, the Committee examines 
such areas as hidden households, language barriers, students and youth, 
aging populations, American Indian and Alaska Native tribal 
considerations, new immigrant populations, populations affected by 
natural disasters, highly mobile and migrant populations, complex 
households, poverty, race/ethnic distribution, privacy and 
confidentiality, rural populations and businesses, individuals and 
households with limited access to information and communications 
technologies, the dynamic nature of new businesses, minority ownership 
of businesses, as well as other concerns impacting Census Bureau survey 
design and implementation.
    6. The Committee uses formal advisory committee meetings, webinars, 
web conferences, working groups, and other methods to accomplish its 
goals, consistent with the requirements of the FACA. The Committee will 
consult with regional office staff to help identify regional, local, 
tribal and grass roots issues, trends and perspectives related to 
Census Bureau surveys and programs.
