Abstract:

In 2002, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) revised its statistical standards as a result of the 2002 Information Quality Guidelines issued by the Office of Management and Budget. As EIA increased its use of the Internet for releasing information, issues arose that related to implementing information quality guidelines. New technology also created new capabilities that were not available in the past. EIA reviews its statistical standards annually and applies several criteria to determine whether a statistical standard adequately supports the information quality guidelines. This paper discusses some changes to the agency's statistical standards over the past seven years that were needed to keep pace with changes in technology and business processes.
