SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    As one of the Nation's leading statistical agencies, the Bureau of 
Economic Analysis (BEA) provides reliable and consistent measures of 
economic activity that are essential to intelligent decisionmaking by 
business people and policymakers and to the efficient operation of 
financial markets. The purpose of the BEA Customer Satisfaction Survey 
is to obtain feedback from customers on the quality of BEA products and 
services. The information collected will assist BEA in improving the 
quality of its data products and its methods of data dissemination.

II. Method of Collection

    The survey and a cover letter with instructions on how to complete 
it will be mailed to about 5,000 potential respondents; BEA will 
request that responses be returned 30 days after the mailing. The 
survey will also be posted on BEA's Web site for 2,000 potential 
respondents. It is designed to ensure anonymity for all respondents and 
therefore eliminates the necessity for recordkeeping of respondents.
