Abstract:The Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology was organized by OMB in 1975 to investigate methodological issues in Federal statistics. Members of the committee, selected by OMB on the basis of their individual expertise and interest in statistical methods, serve in their personal capacity rather than as agency representatives. The committee conducts its work through subcommittees that are organized to study particular issues and that are open to any Federal employee who wishes to participate in the studies. Working papers are prepared by the subcommittee members and reflect only their individual and collective ideas. The Subcommittee on Measurement of Quality in Establishment Surveys was formed to document, profile, and discuss the topic of quality in Federal surveys of establishments. In preparing this report, the Subcommittee walked in uncharted territory. Unlike the field of household surveys where there is a rich variety and depth of study in design and practice, the literature specifically pertaining to surveys of establishments is limited. The Subcommittee also found that the lack of a literature was reflected in a lack of standard practice amongst and within the agencies. It is hoped that this report will begin the process of narrowing the variations in design and practice as agencies are able to benefit from a profiling of establishment surveys.
