The Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology (FCSM) is an interagency committee, chartered by the Office of Management and Budget and supported by the OMB Statistical Policy Office, dedicated to improving the quality of U.S. Federal statistics. FCSM publishes methodology guidance, standards and conference proceedings — including A Framework for Data Quality — and convenes subcommittees and an annual research and policy conference. It is a policy and methodology body, not a data publisher: it does not operate or document a public developer API, and the statistical data itself is published by its member agencies under their own domains.
Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Federal Government, Statistical Methodology, Statistics, Data Quality, and Government.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Government & Public Sector regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

detail: FCSM is an OMB-chartered interagency methodology committee whose published output is PDF guidance (A Framework for
Data Quality, the AI-Ready Extension); its site statspolicy.gov answers HTTP 200 with one identical 31,432-byte HTML shell
for /openapi.json, /llms.txt and a nonsense control path alike, and every /.well-known/ path on statspolicy.gov, fcsm.gov
and the legacy nces.ed.gov host returns 404.
