• Abstract:
  A Federal agency may elect to conduct its statistical work in- house, have the work performed by another Federal agency (interagency agreement), or contract the work to a non-Federal organization; or, it may use any combination of these three mechanisms. Previously, little was known about interagency agreements and currently no organized body of Federal regulations and practices exist concerning such agreements. Basically, any interagency agreement is a written agreement in which both partner--the sponsor and the contractor--are Federal agencies. This report presents data on the prevalence of statistical interagency agreements. It also summarizes the prevailing practices and policies of Federal agencies with respect to these interagency agreements. The information was compiled in a pilot survey involving a sample of Federal agencies that served as sponsors and contractors of statistical interagency agreements during 1979. These subcommittee conclusions were not formally endorsed by the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology nor by the Office Management and Budget. The summary is presented here to provide guidance for the use of statistical interagency agreements.
