Abolish the Census Bureau National Advisory Committee

Done

Printed page 682 21. Department of Commerce

“The NAC should immediately be abolished by the incoming Administration. The NAC charter gives the Secretary of Commerce the authority to terminate the committee.”

What has happened

Feb 28, 2025 Done
The Census Bureau National Advisory Committee on Racial, Ethnic, and Other Populations was terminated by the Secretary of Commerce effective this date, under EO 14217, as one of fourteen discretionary federal advisory committees; the Federal Register notice announcing it published 2025-06-10. The committee had already stopped meeting — its 2025 spring meeting was canceled by notice of 2025-03-13. The named object is gone, which is what the Quote asked for, and by the route the Quote named: the Secretary's own charter authority.

Research notes

done on §3’s test — the named object is in the asked-for state. The operative text was read at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-06-10/html/2025-10398.htm, which names the “Census Bureau National Advisory Committee on Racial, Ethnic, and Other Populations (U.S. Census Bureau)” in the terminated list.

Dating (§4): the event is dated from the termination the notice records (2025-02-28), not from the notice’s publication date (2025-06-10) or from EO 14217’s signing (2025-02-19). The Quote’s own observation that “the NAC charter gives the Secretary of Commerce the authority to terminate the committee” is exactly the authority used.

Shares its instrument with #1819, #1820 and #1896.
