Attachment 7F - email reminder to reprice for newly-initiated web respondents

Dear Mr. Tester,

As an establishment that supplies data to the BLS for our International Price Program, your response is critical to the calculation of the U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes.

On or about July 2nd, you should have received an e-mail invitation with your temporary account number and password (in two separate e-mails for security purposes). However, as of Jul 12, 2021, our records indicate that you have yet to supply price data for July.

As a reminder, our online survey is compatible with mobile devices.

To logon and submit prices, go to: https://idcf.bls.gov

• If you would like your temporary account and password resent or have any questions about providing this information, simply reply to this message.

• For any questions about providing data, how your data are used, or about the U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes in general, please visit our site for survey respondents: Import/Export Price Indexes (MXP) Survey Participant Page.
