source, there are a few potential sources
of error. Processing error is one source
of nonsampling error that is introduced
with the use of the administrative trade
data. Among the transaction records
processed by the Census Bureau, some
records have incomplete data and are
not used in BLS calculations.
Additionally, there is measurement
error in assuming that the
characteristics that make up a product
variety adequately explain the monthto-month price change movements.
Furthermore, other records are analyzed
and excluded from calculation because
they are at the tails of the distribution
of prices or quantities and are excluded
in order to reduce the variability of unit
prices and unit value indexes. The
exclusion of transactions with missing
data and estimates at the tails of the
distribution may result in bias or a
skewed result if there is a repeatable
pattern in either set of data, such that
certain companies have more
transactions with missing data or with
widely variable prices. These
nonsampling errors cannot be measured
with current methods and there is little
actual research on this topic for
administrative data that represents the
full population; however, research has
begun and is ongoing to evaluate
sources of error. This research includes
methods to adequately explain mean
square error for index estimates that are
constructed from the integration of
administrative data and sampled survey
data.
Publication of official MXPI. Current
publication procedures for price indexes
require an annual review of statistical
robustness that include sample
representativeness and that assure the
protection of respondent and company
identifiable information. Revised
publication procedures for price indexes
calculated with administrative trade
data will be put in place. Current
procedures limit publication of indexes
that represent commodity areas with a
minimum dollar value of annual import
or export trade value. New procedures
for administrative trade data will not
require a minimum dollar value for
publication. Protection of respondent
and company identifiable information
will remain in place and thus not all
price indexes using administrative trade
data will be published separately.
Modified publication procedures are
in place to evaluate the price indexes
selected for inclusion in the aggregation.
Up to the date of publication, a research
data series using the new methods will
be calculated to compare monthly and
long-term variability and skewness
relative to the official price indexes
using current methods to assure quality

and consistency before incorporating
the administrative trade data in the
official data release. When a detailed
product area is either under-represented
in the sample or difficult to collect, a
price index representing commodity
areas with smaller dollar values may use
administrative trade data. This approach
increases efficiency and mitigates
respondent burden, even if some bias
exists, as long as the bias does not have
an impact on the upper-level indexes.
Publication. Another important
improvement is that the methods allow
for an expansion of the number of
publishable price indexes. The
enhanced procedure will convert
roughly 7 million transaction records for
homogeneous product areas into
hundreds of thousands of product
varieties, which subsequently will be
used to calculate thousands of unit
value indexes for 10-digit HS product
categories. These unit value indexes are
integrated as item prices into the
calculation of the MXPI. There is no
change to the method of calculating the
monthly estimates of price indexes.
When the transition to using the
administrative trade data occurs, the
price indexes currently published will
not have a break in series. Under current
procedures, new items brought into the
price indexes replace discontinued
items. With the introduction of the
administrative trade data source, new
items based on the administrative trade
data will be brought in to completely
replace directly collected survey data
within classification groups that have
been determined to meet criteria of
homogeneity. Whether a published
price index includes administrative
trade data will be determined by the
concordance between HS classification
groups and each product and industry
classification. The new approach treats
directly collected and administrative
data equally, and no distinction will be
made in publication of the data source.
The transition to using administrative
trade data in the official news release
will be announced in advance.
This detailed description of the
current and redesign approaches
complements the research data series
that are available at the BLS MXPI
website https://www.bls.gov/mxp/
home.htm.
IV. Desired Focus of Comments
This notice is a general solicitation of
comments from the public on the
technical approach to this major change
in the concepts, sources, and methods of
the Import and Export Price Indexes.
