[Docket Number 000913261–0261–01]

Change in Report Series From Print

Publication to Internet Access

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of publication program

change.

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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 31, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Les

Solomon, Marketing Services Office,

Customer Services Center, Census

Bureau, Washington, DC 20233,

telephone: 301–457–1224.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The MPA

lists all Census Bureau publications and

data files for a 30-day 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 301–457–

4100.
