Calls for Comment
APDU maintains a list of open calls for comment on proposed federal data collections (http://www.apdu.org/advocacy.asp). We periodically alert APDU members to newly added calls for comment. Over the last several weeks, calls for comment on the following proposed data collections were published in the Federal Register (with due date)
Bureau of Labor Statistics
• Telephone Point of Purchase Survey (November 9, 2010)
Institute of Education Sciences
• National Household Education Survey (NHES 2011/2012) Field Test (October 14, 2010)
Environmental Protection Agency
• 2011 Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey and Assessment (November 9, 2010)
Fish and Wildlife Service
• National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (October 12, 2010)
APDU encourages its members to take advantage of these opportunities to make their voices heard. All comments, whether a simple affirmation or detailed suggestions on instrument design, are helpful in seeing that data users have access to the statistics we need.
