Overarching Questions
1. Are there successful frameworks,
policies, practices, and methods to
overcome challenges related to
evidence-building from state, local, and/
or international governments the
Commission should consider when
developing findings and
recommendations regarding Federal
evidence-based policymaking? If so,
please describe.
2. Based on identified best practices
and existing examples, what factors
should be considered in reasonably
ensuring the security and privacy of
administrative and survey data?
Data Infrastructure and Access
The Commission on Evidence-Based
Policymaking (hereafter, ‘‘Commission’’)
established by Public Law 114–140 is
charged with examining strategies to
improve the production and use of
evidence to support U.S. government
programs and policies. Specifically, the
Commission is considering how to
increase the availability and use of
government data in support of evidencebuilding activities related to government
programs and policies, while protecting
the privacy and confidentiality of such
data.
This request for comments offers
government entities, researchers,
evaluators, contractors, and other
interested parties the opportunity to
inform the Commission’s work and
provide recommendations on core
questions the Commission will
consider.
Through this request for comments,
the Commission is seeking initial
feedback from a broad range of
stakeholders on questions that will
contribute to the Commission’s future
activities and fulfillment of its duties,
potentially including any findings and
recommendations. This request for
comments is for information-gathering
and fact-finding purposes only, and
should not be construed as a solicitation
or as an obligation on the part of the
Commission or Federal agencies to agree

3. Based on identified best practices
and existing examples, how should
existing government data infrastructure
be modified to best facilitate use of and
access to administrative and survey
data?
4. What data-sharing infrastructure
should be used to facilitate data
merging, linking, and access for
research, evaluation, and analysis
purposes?
5. What challenges currently exist in
linking state and local data to federal
data? Are there successful instances
where these challenges have been
addressed?
6. Should a single or multiple
clearinghouse(s) for administrative and
survey data be established to improve
evidence-based policymaking? What
benefits or limitations are likely to be
encountered in either approach?
7. What data should be included in a
potential U.S. government data
clearinghouse(s)? What are the current
legal or administrative barriers to
including such data in a clearinghouse
or linking the data?
8. What factors or strategies should
the Commission consider for how a
clearinghouse(s) could be self-funded?
What successful examples exist for selffinancing related to similar purposes?
9. What specific administrative or
legal barriers currently exist for
accessing survey and administrative
data?
10. How should the Commission

institutions?’’ To what extent should
administrative and survey data held by
government agencies be made available

to ‘‘qualified researchers and
institutions?’’
11. How might integration of
administrative and survey data in a
clearinghouse affect the risk of
unintentional or unauthorized access or
release of personally-identifiable
information, confidential business
information, or other identifiable
records? How can identifiable
information be best protected to ensure
the privacy and confidentiality of
individual or business data in a
clearinghouse?
12. If a clearinghouse were created,
what types of restrictions should be
placed on the uses of data in the
clearinghouse by ‘‘qualified researchers
and institutions?’’

evaluation be incorporated into program
designs? What specific examples
demonstrate where evaluation has been
successfully incorporated in program
designs?
19. To what extent should evaluations
specifically with either experimental
(sometimes referred to as ‘‘randomized
control trials’’) or quasi-experimental
designs be institutionalized in
programs? What specific examples
demonstrate where such
institutionalization has been successful
and what best practices exist for doing
so?

investigations of CTL plate from
Austria, Belgium, Brazil, France,

accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (Act),
Petitioners 3 requested alignment of the
final CVD determination with the final
AD determination of CTL plate from
Korea.4 Therefore, in accordance with
section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(4), we are aligning the final
CVD determination with the final AD
determination of CTL plate from
Austria, Belgium, France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, and Taiwan. Consequently,
the final CVD determination will be
issued on the same date as the final AD
determination, which is currently
scheduled to be issued no later than
January 18, 2017, unless postponed.5

The scope of this investigation covers
CTL plate from Korea. For a complete
