in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary can't collect statistics under this subchapter if another federal agency already collects comparable ones in the same form and time period. Instead, the Secretary can request access to that other agency's statistics and must include them in the required publication.

This section stops duplicate data collection. If, as of when this title took effect, federal law already required some other federal department or agency to collect statistics that are comparable in form and time period to the statistics this subchapter calls for, then the Secretary can't collect those same statistics under this subchapter's authority. Instead, the Secretary gets a right of access: immediately upon request, the Secretary must be given access to those other statistics. The Secretary must then include them in the publication this subchapter requires.

Immediately upon his request, the Secretary shall have access to any such statistics and shall include them in the publication required by this subchapter.
