Abstract | This report on the statistical programs and activities of the Federal Government covers some 70 Federal agencies or separate departmental units budgeting at least $500,000 in any of fiscal years 1985-87. The budgets of agencies whose sole mission is statistical represent less than half the $1.6 billion that the Federal Government will spend on statistics in 1987. Chapter 1 presents a table of Federal agencies' obligations for statistical activities in 1985, 1986, and 1987, and tables of budget trends 1978-87 in current dollars and constant dollars. Current developments in statistics on natural resources and environment, the economy, and demographic and social areas are considered. Results are presented from an Office of Management and Budget study of response rates in business surveys conducted by Federal agencies. The redesign of the National Health Interview Survey is also described. The flow of funding is charted, and chapter 2 reports on the role of the private sector in Federal statistics. Chapter 3 (by Ron Heller, U.S. International Trade Commission) describes a new customs classification, the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, and an associated statistical classification, the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 3.
