About

BLS leadership will articulate their goals for the study and their motivation for commissioning it. Presentations by BLS experts will outline current CPI program activities and plans to reengineer price and expenditure input data used in the estimation of cost-of-living measures and consumer price indexes. Panel members and sponsor representatives will then revisit the project statement of task and revise as necessary. At the end of the meeting, the group will discuss the structure and content of an eventual workshop (public meeting) which will be the panel’s main vehicle for gathering information from experts beyond the panel and BLS on various topics.
