Project Scope
|
In response to recurring requests for advice on what constitutes an effective federal statistical agency, CNSTAT issued the first edition of Principles and Practices for a Federal Statistical Agency (P&P) in 1992. In early 2001, 2005, and 2009, CNSTAT issued the second, third, and fourth editions, respectively, which reiterated the basic principles for federal statistical agencies, revised and expanded the discussion of some of the practices for an effective statistical agency, and updated the discussion with references to recent reports by CNSTAT and others. Changes in laws, regulations, and other aspects of the environment of federal statistical agencies over the past 4 years warrant preparation of a fifth edition, which a CNSTAT committee will prepare for release in early 2013.
The project is sponsored by the National Science Foundation Methodology, Measurement, and Statistics Program, and 21 other federal agencies that contribute core funding to the Committee on National Statistics.
The approximate start date for the project is 8/15/12.
The report is expected to be issued by February 2013.
