{"abstract":"The BLS is soliciting new members for the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). Five current membership terms expire on April 19, 2018. The TAC provides advice to the Bureau of Labor Statistics on technical aspects of data collection and the formulation of economic measures and makes recommendations on areas of research. On some technical issues there are differing views, and receiving feedback at public meetings provides BLS with the opportunity to consider all viewpoints. The Committee will consist of 16 members and will be chosen from a cross-section of economists, statisticians, and behavioral scientists who represent a balance of expertise. The economists will have research experience with technical issues related to BLS data and will be familiar with employment and unemployment statistics, price index numbers, compensation measures, productivity measures, occupational and health statistics, or other topics relevant to BLS data series. The statisticians will be familiar with sample design, data analysis, computationally intensive statistical methods, non- sampling errors, or other areas which are relevant to BLS work. The behavioral scientists will be familiar with questionnaire design, usability, or other areas of survey development. BLS invites persons interested in serving on the TAC to submit their names for consideration for committee membership.","action":"Request for nominations to the BLS Technical Advisory Committee.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","name":"Labor Department","id":271,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/labor-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/271","parent_id":null,"slug":"labor-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Labor Statistics","name":"Labor Statistics Bureau","id":272,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/labor-statistics-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/272","parent_id":271,"slug":"labor-statistics-bureau"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2017/12/06/2017-26224.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"82 FR 57619","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Nominations for the TAC membership should be postmarked January 5, 2018.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2017-26224","effective_on":null,"end_page":57619,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2017/12/06/2017-26224.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/06/2017-26224/technical-advisory-committee-request-for-nominations","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2017-26224?publication_date=2017-12-06","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2017-12-06/2017-26224/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":1,"page_views":{"count":199,"last_updated":"2026-08-26 12:15:06 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-06/pdf/2017-26224.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2017-26224.pdf?1512481534","publication_date":"2017-12-06","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2017/12/06/2017-26224.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2017-12-26T06:00:23Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":57619,"subtype":null,"title":"Technical Advisory Committee; Request for Nominations","toc_doc":"Technical Advisory Committee","toc_subject":"Requests for Nominations:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":82}
