Communicating the unique responsibilities of federal statistical agencies—and best practices on achieving them—remains essential to a well-functioning statistical system. The Committee on National Statistics has released the 8th Edition of Principles and Practices for a Federal Statistical Agency, which articulates five principles and ten practices as part of its mission to provide an independent review of federal statistical activities. This eighth edition retains the five principles and ten practices established in prior edition, with updated examples and extensive appendices to reflect the many and varied changes across the national statistical system that have occurred since the passage of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 ("Evidence Act"), the CHIPS and Science Act, and implementing regulations.
