Technical Advisory Committee; Renewal of the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics Technical Advisory Committee

    The Secretary of Labor is announcing the renewal 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 renewal of the Bureau of Labor Statistics 
Technical Advisory Committee (the ``Committee'') is in the public 
interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed upon the 
Commissioner of Labor Statistics by 29 U.S.C. 1 and 2. This 
determination follows consultation with the Committee Management 
Secretariat, General Services Administration.
    The Committee presents advice and makes recommendations to the 
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on technical aspects of the collection 
and formulation of economic measures.
    The Committee functions solely as an advisory body to the BLS, on 
technical topics selected by the BLS. Important aspects of the 
Committee's responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
    a. Providing comments on papers and presentations developed by BLS 
research and program staff. The comments will address the technical 
soundness of the research and whether it reflects best practices in the 
relevant fields.
    b. Identifying research projects that can address technical 
problems with BLS statistics.
    c. Participating in discussions regarding areas where the types or 
coverage of economic statistics could be expanded or improved and areas 
where statistics are no longer relevant.
    The Committee reports to the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, 
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor.
    The Committee consists of approximately sixteen members who serve 
as Special Government Employees. Members are appointed by the BLS and 
are approved by the Secretary of Labor. Committee members are experts 
in economics, statistics, data science, and survey design. They are 
prominent experts in their fields and recognized for their professional 
achievements and objectivity.
    The Committee will function solely as an advisory body, in 
compliance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. 
The Charter will be filed under the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
