improve services trade data.
AGENCY:
The International Trade
Administration, in conjunction with the
Bureau of Economic Analysis, the
Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, is announcing a kick-off event
for its services trade data initiative. DOC
is working to ensure that the
measurement of economic activity and
trade in the services sector is more
robust, granular and meaningful.
Primary goals include enhancements to
services data to ensure that it is effective
for commercial decision-making, policy
planning, and is relevant for trade
agreements in support of increased US
services exports. DOC has invited wellknown policy leaders from the White
House, the Department, and private
sector innovators in the services
information arena to speak on the topic.
DATES: The conference will be held on
September 14, 2010.
Address all comments concerning this

Industry Statistical Initiative, DOC will
hold a conference on September 14,
2010, to focus on measuring and
enhancing services trade data.
The conference will include key
players from the public and private
sector with the main goal of seeking
broader support and direction for
improving the quality and timeliness of
services trade data. A key outcome of
the conference will be the development
of an action plan and working groups to
improve certain discrete elements of
services data collection and
dissemination by various public and
private sector organizations.
Current issues regarding services
statistics include: limitations of the
industry classification system,
granularity of data, adequacy of survey
detail in tracking of services, accounting
for intangible assets, and accuracy of
service price indices.
The target audience for the conference
includes senior managers from private
sector companies and government,
along with participants from the public
policy community. The morning session
will focus on the current and future
status of services trade data along with
innovative ideas for the future. The
afternoon sessions will feature freeflowing industry-specific discussions
designed to spark a dialogue on
improvement ranging from readily
available solutions to transformational
technologies and analytics that enable
better business and public policy
decision-making.
DOC will accept registrations on a
first-come-first-served basis.
Participants will be charged $75 for
attending these events if they register
before September 7, 2010, and $100 if
they register on or after September 7,
