Bureau of Labor Statistics Statement to Respondent on the Use of Electronic Data Transmission

As a participant in a Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) statistical survey, you should be aware that use of electronic transmittal methods in reporting data to the BLS involves certain inherent risks to the confidentiality of those data. Further, you should be aware that responsible electronic transmittal practices employed by the BLS cannot completely eliminate those risks.

The BLS is committed to the responsible treatment of the data you report and will take appropriate steps within its ability to protect the confidentiality of those data.

In an attempt to further minimize these risks, you are encouraged to remove all data fields from your response, excluding the Item Code and Current Price Data fields and any field where a change in information is provided.
