DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau of Labor Statistics
Technical Advisory Committee;
Request for Nominations
AGENCY:
Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS).
Request for nominations to the
BLS Technical Advisory Committee.
ACTION:
The BLS is soliciting new
members for the Technical Advisory
Committee (TAC). Five current
membership terms expire on April 12,
2020. The TAC provides advice to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics on technical
aspects of data collection and the
formulation of economic measures and
makes recommendations on areas of
research. On some technical issues there
are differing views, and receiving
feedback at public meetings provides
BLS with the opportunity to consider all
viewpoints. The Committee will consist
of 16 members and will be chosen from
a cross-section of economists,
statisticians, and behavioral scientists
who represent a balance of expertise.
The economists will have research
experience with technical issues related
to BLS data and will be familiar with
employment and unemployment
statistics, price index numbers,
compensation measures, productivity
measures, occupational and health
statistics, or other topics relevant to BLS
data series. The statisticians will be
familiar with sample design, data
analysis, computationally intensive
statistical methods, non-sampling
errors, or other areas which are relevant
to BLS work. The behavioral scientists
will be familiar with questionnaire

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BLS
intends to renew memberships in the
TAC for another three years. The Bureau
often faces highly technical issues while
developing and maintaining the
accuracy and relevancy of its data on
employment and unemployment, prices,
productivity, and compensation and
working conditions. These issues range
from how to develop new measures to
how to make sure that existing measures
account for the ever-changing economy.
The BLS presents issues and then draws
on the specialized expertise of
Committee members representing
specialized fields within the academic
disciplines of economics, statistics and
survey design. Committee members are
also invited to bring to the attention of
BLS issues that have been identified in
the academic literature or in their own
research.
The TAC was established to provide
advice to the Commissioner of Labor
Statistics on technical topics selected by
the BLS. Responsibilities include, but
are not limited to providing comments
on papers and presentations developed
by BLS research and program staff,
conducting research on issues identified
by BLS on which an objective technical
opinion or recommendation from
outside of BLS would be valuable,
recommending BLS conduct internal
research projects to address technical
problems with BLS statistics that have
been identified in the academic
literature, participating in discussions of
areas where the types or coverage of
economic statistics could be expanded
or improved and areas where statistics
are no longer relevant, and establishing
working relationships with professional
associations with an interest in BLS
