Through this location, Commerce makes available the National Trade Data Bank (NTDB), described elsewhere in this guide, the National Economic, Social and Environmental Data Bank (NESE-DB), which contains a surprisingly small amount of economic information (such as quotations on some U.S. Government securities, information on the fixed wealth of the U.S. (also by industry), industry profiles, options for reducing the deficit, the U.S. Global Trade Outlook, and some data from the Regional Economic Information System). Another part of this guide describes the extensive offerings of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Economic Bulletin Board (EBB).
To access this information via the web you must register and pay a fee. Unlimited access costs $24.95 per quarter, or $100 per year. Site licenses for class C networks are available at an annual rate of $360.
One very useful item is extensive information on the federal budget (it includes both historical and forecasted data). It is freely available.
