Petition to reinstate the Pollution Abatement Costs and Expenditures (PACE) survey:
We, the undersigned, agree that the Pollution Abatement Costs and Expenditures (PACE) survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau is a valuable resource for research and policy analysis. The PACE survey provides the only comprehensive source of data on expenditures related to environmental protection for the United States manufacturing sector. The facility-level PACE data are used to produce published aggregate data at industry, state, and national levels and are merged with other Census data sets for research purposes.
We urge that the PACE survey be resumed and be collected over time on an annual basis, to support future evidence-based policy evaluations of the effectiveness and economic impact of environmental programs, and to improve the design and performance of those programs.Please sign by entering your contact information and clicking "Sign Petition" at the bottom of the page. Your contact information will only be used to show support for resuming the PACE Survey. Thank you for your support.
