DOCUMENT ACTION: Notice of publication program change.

SUBJECT CATEGORY:

Change in Report Series From Print Publication to Internet Access

EFFECTIVE DATES: December 31, 2000.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY:

The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) will cease printed publication of the ``Monthly Product Announcement'' (MPA) with the December 2000 edition. The publication's information and additional data will be available at www.census.gov> and as a free Internet subscription.

SUMMARY:

Monthly Product Announcement (report series); change from print publication to Internet access,

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

The MPA lists all Census Bureau publications and data files for a 30day period. It includes product ordering information and order forms. The MPA does not describe every data product, but usually does discuss one or two new ones in each issue.

The Census Bureau has decided to provide product information to the customer on a more timely basis. The new format will give the customer product information daily and allow the customer to purchase products immediately. We believe that changing to Internet access will not significantly affect the MPA's users. We will, however, address the needs of customers adversely affected by this change. Customers may request a paper copy that lists the Census Bureau's monthly releases by contacting the Customer Services Center at 3014574100.
