SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DUAC provides advice to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics from the points of view of data users from various
sectors of the U.S. economy, including the labor, business, research,
academic, and government communities, on matters related to the
analysis, dissemination, and use of the Bureau's statistics, on its
published reports, and on gaps between or the need for new Bureau
statistics.
The Committee consists of 20 members and will be chosen from a
cross-section of individuals who represent a balance of expertise
across a broad range of BLS program areas, including employment and
unemployment statistics, occupational safety and health statistics,
compensation measures, price indexes, and productivity measures; or
other areas related to the subject matter of BLS programs. BLS invites
persons interested in serving on the DUAC to submit their names for
consideration for committee membership.
BLS intends to renew membership in the DUAC for another three
years. The BLS operates over two dozen surveys that measure employment
and unemployment, compensation, worker safety, productivity, and
consumer and producer price movements. BLS provides a wealth of
economic data and analyses to support public and private decision
making. The DUAC was established to provide advice to the Commissioner
of Labor Statistics on the priorities of data users, suggestions
concerning the addition of new programs, changes in emphasis of
existing programs or cessation of obsolete programs, and advice on
potential innovations in data analysis, dissemination, and
presentation.
Nominations: BLS is looking for committed DUAC members who have a
strong interest in, and familiarity with, BLS data. The Agency is
looking for nominees who use and have a comprehensive understanding of
economic statistics. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is committed
to bringing greater diversity of thought, perspective, and experience
to its advisory committees. Nominees from all races, gender, age, and
disabilities are encouraged to apply. Interested persons may nominate
themselves or may submit the name of another person who they believe to
be interested in and qualified to serve on the DUAC. Nominations may
also be submitted by organizations. Nominations should include the
name, address, and telephone number of the candidate. Each nomination
should include a summary of the candidate's training or experience
relating to BLS data specifically, or economic statistics more
generally. BLS will conduct a basic background check of candidates
before their appointment to the DUAC. The background check will involve
accessing publicly available, internet-based sources.
Authority: This notice was prepared in accordance with the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5
U.S.C. App. 2.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of February 2023.
