    BLS intends to renew membership in the DUAC for another three

and unemployment, compensation, worker safety, productivity, and 
consumer and producer price movements. BLS provides a wealth of 
economic data and analyses to support public and private decision 
making. The DUAC was established to provide advice to the Commissioner 
of Labor Statistics on the priorities of data users, suggestions 
concerning the addition of new programs, changes in emphasis of 
existing programs or cessation of obsolete programs, and advice on 
potential innovations in data analysis, dissemination, and 
presentation.
    Nominations: BLS is looking for committed DUAC members who have a 
strong interest in, and familiarity with, BLS data. The Agency is 
looking for nominees who use and have a comprehensive understanding of 
economic statistics. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is committed 
to bringing greater diversity of thought, perspective, and experience 
to its advisory committees. Nominees from all races, gender, age, and 
disabilities are encouraged to apply. Interested persons may nominate 
themselves or may submit the name of another person who they believe to 
be interested in and qualified to serve on the DUAC. Nominations may 
also be submitted by organizations. Nominations should include the 
name, address, and telephone number of the candidate. Each nomination 
should include a summary of the candidate's training or experience 
relating to BLS data specifically, or economic statistics more 
generally. BLS will conduct a basic background check of candidates 
before their appointment to the DUAC. The background check will involve 
accessing publicly available, internet-based sources.
