The Department of Labor
(DOL) plans to eliminate use of all

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) is responsible for the
development and oversight of
Government-wide policies, principles,
standards, and guidelines concerning
statistical information presentation and
dissemination, as well as the timely
release of statistical data. OMB has
issued a series of Statistical Policy
Directives (SPDs) to guide agencies in
their dissemination of statistical
products. Each of these SPDs describes
the fundamental statistical-system
principle of equitable and timely
dissemination of statistical information
to the public. See, e.g., SPD No. 1,
Fundamental Responsibilities of Federal
Statistical Agencies and Recognized
Statistical Units (Dec. 2, 2014) (‘‘the
objectivity of the information released to
the public is maximized by making
information available on an equitable,
policy-neutral, transparent, timely, and
punctual basis’’); SPD No. 3,
Compilation, Release, and Evaluation of
Principal Federal Economic Indicators
(Sept. 25, 1985) (emphasizing the
importance of releasing Principal
Federal Economic Indicators (PFEIs) to
the public in a fair and orderly manner);
SPD No. 4, Release and Dissemination
of Statistical Products Produced by
Federal Statistical Agencies (Mar. 7,
2008) (‘‘Statistical agencies must ensure
that all users have equitable and timely
access to data that are disseminated to
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the public’’). In short, equitable and
timely dissemination of statistical
information is a core principle of
Federal statistical policy.
For many years, consistent with these
Statistical Policy Directives, the news
media have aided BLS and ETA in
disseminating their statistical data.
Since the mid-1980s, DOL agencies have
provided pre-release data access to news
organizations under strict embargoes
(known as ‘‘lock-ups’’) for PFEIs, which
are a set of designated economic data
series (e.g., the Employment Situation
and Consumer Price Index) that have
significant commercial value and may
affect the movement of commodity and
financial markets upon release. In
addition, DOL has employed lock-ups
for the release of limited non-PFEI data
(i.e., Unemployment Insurance Weekly
Claims). Although not required to do so,
the Department of Labor (DOL) in 1988
constructed a special lock-up facility to
provide pre-release access to news
media organizations. Steps were taken
to enhance the security of the lock-up
facility in 1992 and again in 2011–2012.
The lock-ups provide participating
media organizations 30 minutes before
official release time to digest PFEI data
(and potentially longer in the case of
non-PFEIs). At the official release time,
the communication lines within the
facility are opened, allowing the press to
transmit their articles or tables of data
to the public.
For many years, dissemination
through the lock-up process was a
highly effective method to get
information to the public. But today, it
is no longer the best means to ensure the
equitable and timely dissemination of
statistical information consistent with
OMB’s guidance. Continuing security
concerns also outweigh any continuing
benefits of the current process.
DOL’s Inspector General has noted
concerns with the current press lock-up
process, including in reports dated
January 2, 2014 (17–14–001–03–315)
and March 25, 2016 (17–16–001–01–
001). Specifically, DOL Inspector
General Report 17–14–001–03–315
states that the lock-up ‘‘unintentionally
creates an unfair competitive advantage
for certain news organizations and their
clients’’:
Pre-release access of DOL-generated
economic data is intended to serve the
general public by ensuring that news reports
about the data are accurate. To that end, the
media are given access to the data in advance
of the public release to facilitate their ability
to analyze and ask questions about the data
as they prepare their news stories. However,
the intended purpose of ensuring accurate
news reports must be weighed against the
inequitable trading advantage that a lock-up
