Federal Statistical Activity Control Act

Summary

Federal Statistical Activity Control Act - Directs the President to make a compilation of all Federal statistical activities and to submit such compilation to Congress. Specifies the type of data to be included in such compilation including the purpose, statutory authority, and cost of such activities. Terminates all Federal statistical authority at the end of the five year period beginning on the date such authority takes effect or the date the President's compilation is submitted to Congress, whichever is later, unless the statistical authority is otherwise provided for by law. Requires that each report accompanying any bill or resolution which provides for Federal information authority to contain specified information regarding the authority involved including its cost, the number of respondents involved, and the purpose for which the information is being collected. Requires the Bureau of the Census, upon request, to provide Congress with information regarding the evaluation of any existing or proposed Federal statistical authority or information which would be appropriate for the formation or evaluation of the estimates required to be included in committee reports pursuant to this Act.
