44 U.S.C. § 3575 — Findings
Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Federal statistics are an important source of information for public and private decision-makers such as policymakers, consumers, businesses, investors, and workers.
(2) Federal statistical agencies should continuously seek to improve their efficiency. Statutory constraints limit the ability of these agencies to share data and thus to achieve higher efficiency for Federal statistical programs.
(3) The quality of Federal statistics depends on the willingness of businesses to respond to statistical surveys. Reducing reporting burdens will increase response rates, and therefore lead to more accurate characterizations of the economy.
(4) Enhanced sharing of business data among the Bureau of the Census, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics for exclusively statistical purposes will improve their ability to track more accurately the large and rapidly changing nature of United States business. In particular, the statistical agencies will be able to better ensure that businesses are consistently classified in appropriate industries, resolve data anomalies, produce statistical samples that are consistently adjusted for the entry and exit of new businesses in a timely manner, and correct faulty reporting errors quickly and efficiently.
(5) Congress enacted the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act (Public Law 94–472), which allowed the Bureau of the Census, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to share data on foreign-owned companies. The Act not only expanded detailed industry coverage from 135 industries to over 800 industries with no increase in the data collected from respondents but also demonstrated how data sharing can result in the creation of valuab

(6) With part B of this subchapter, the sharing of business data among the Bureau of the Census, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics continues to ensure the highest level of confidentiality for respondents to statistical surveys.

**(a) Findings** The Congress finds and declares that—
(1) the United States Government is presently authorized to collect limited amounts of information on United States investment abroad and foreign investment in the United States;
(2) international investment has increased rapidly within recent years;
(3) such investment significantly affects the economies of the United States and other nations;
(4) international efforts to obtain information on the activities of multinational enterprises and other international investors have accelerated recently;
(5) the potential consequences of international investment cannot be evaluated accurately because the United States Government lacks sufficient information on such investment and its actual or possible effects on the national security, commerce, employment, inflation, general welfare, and foreign policy of the United States;
(6) accurate and comprehensive information on international investment is needed by the Congress to develop an informed United States policy on such investment;
(7) United States service industries engaged in interstate and foreign commerce account for a substantial part of the labor force and gross national product of the United States economy, and such commerce is rapidly increasing;
(8) international trade and services is an important issue for international negotiations and deserves priority in the attention of governments, international agencies, negotiators, and the private sector; and
(9) existing estimates of international investment and trade in services, collected under existing legal authority, are limited in scope and are based on outdated statistical bases, reports, and information which are insufficient for policy formulation and decisionmaking.

PART C—STATISTICAL EFFICIENCY
§ 3575. Findings
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Federal statistics are an important
source of information for public and private
decision-makers such as policymakers, con-
sumers, businesses, investors, and workers.
(2) Federal statistical agencies should con-
tinuously seek to improve their efficiency.
Statutory constraints limit the ability of
these agencies to share data and thus to
achieve higher efficiency for Federal statis-
tical programs.
(3) The quality of Federal statistics depends
on the willingness of businesses to respond to
statistical surveys. Reducing reporting bur-
dens will increase response rates, and there-
fore lead to more accurate characterizations
of the economy.
(4) Enhanced sharing of business data among
the Bureau of the Census, the Bureau of Eco-
nomic Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor Sta-
tistics for exclusively statistical purposes will
improve their ability to track more accurately
the large and rapidly changing nature of
United States business. In particular, the sta-
tistical agencies will be able to better ensure
that businesses are consistently classified in
appropriate industries, resolve data anoma-
lies, produce statistical samples that are con-
sistently adjusted for the entry and exit of
new businesses in a timely manner, and cor-
rect faulty reporting errors quickly and effi-
ciently.

vestment and Trade in Servic
