    The Secretary of Labor has determined that re-establishment of the

and in the public interest in connection with the performance of duties 
imposed upon the Commissioner of Labor Statistics by 29 U.S.C. 1, 2, 3, 
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. This determination follows consultation with the 
Committee Management Secretariat, General Services Administration.

    Purpose and Objective: The Council presents advice and makes 
recommendations to the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics 
from the perspective of the business community. The Council reviews 
Bureau programs, presents priorities for business users, suggests the 
addition of new programs, suggests changes in the emphasis of existing 
programs, and suggests dropping old programs. It also suggests 
alternative approaches for data collection and reporting.

representatives from a broad perspective of the U.S. economy, with 
large and small companies represented as well as goods- and non-goods-
producing industries. In order to maintain the independence and 
credibility of the advice, members of BRAC are designated by the 
Commissioner of Labor Statistics, under authorization from the 
Secretary of Labor, from nominations by the BRAC Membership Committee.
