The Secretary of Labor is announcing
the establishment of a Federal Advisory
Committee. In accordance with the
provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2,
the Secretary of Labor has determined
that the establishment of the Bureau of

identified by BLS on which an objective
technical opinion or recommendation
from outside of BLS would be valuable.

where the types or coverage of economic
statistics could be expanded or
improved and areas where statistics are
