SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Foundations for Evidence-Based

(a)), establishes the Committee and its charge. It specifies that the
Chief Statistician of the United States shall serve as the Chair and
other members shall be appointed by the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). The Act prescribes a membership balance
plan that includes: one agency Chief Information Officer; one agency
Chief Privacy Officer; one agency Chief Performance Officer; three
members who are agency Chief Data Officers; three members who are
agency Evaluation Officers; and three members who are agency
Statistical Officials who are members of the Interagency Council for
Statistical Policy established under section 3504(e)(8) of title 44.
Additionally, at least 10 members are to be representative of state and
local governments and nongovernmental stakeholders with expertise in
government data policy, privacy, technology, transparency policy,
evaluation and research methodologies, and other relevant subjects.
Committee members serve for a term of two years. Following a public
solicitation and review of nominations, the Director of OMB appointed
members per this balance plan and information on the membership can be
found at www.bea.gov/evidence. Any member appointed to fill a vacancy
occurring before the expiration of the term for which the member's
predecessor was appointed shall be appointed only for the remainder of
that term.
The ACDEB is interested in the public's input on the issues it will
consider, and requests that interested parties submit statements to the
ACDEB via email to [email protected]. Please use the subject line
