Bureau and those jointly worked out by the State Statistical Bureau and

investigations.

the pertinent departments. If the objects of investigation are within
their own systems of jurisdiction, the plans and programs shall be
examined and approved by the leaders of these departments and reported to

people's governments at the same level for the record. If the objects of

programs shall be worked out and implemented after being examined and

conducted; quarterly one suffices, no monthly one shall be done. Progress
statistics more frequent than monthly one must be strictly restrained;
(3) before a new statistical investigation program is made public, tests
shall be conducted at selected places, or the opinions of the relevant
localities, departments and grassroots units be heard, and feasibility
study be made, so as to ensure that the program is practicable and the
best possible investigation result receives due attention;

shall be ensured.
