Abstract
U.S. government agencies collect statistical data either under a Constitutional mandate (as in the case of the decennial census) or by legislative mandate or administrative decree. The preeminent example is the Bureau of the Census which, for the 1990 decennial census, collected and distributed some 50 gigabytes (the equivalent of over 100 CD-ROMs) of data, if digitized map boundaries are included. Some major agencies producing public statistics include the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Social Security Administration, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Energy Information Administration, Departments of Education and Agriculture, and National Center for Health Statistics. The pricing and distribution practices of these agencies vary widely, with some agencies encouraging widespread distribution of data and others looking on distribution to the public as not within their mandate. This article elucidates issues of reasonable distribution policies and adaptation to technological change of such agencies by focusing on the distribution activities, both currently and historically, of the Bureau of the Census.
