Creating Your IPP Web Account - Multi-Program Reporters

Thank you for participating in the International Price Program (IPP). You will be providing data online using the BLS Internet Data Collection Facility, which you currently use to provide data for another BLS survey. This handout is intended to assist you in adding the International Price Program to your existing BLS web account.

Follow these steps:

  1. You will receive two emails from IPP.HelpDesk@bls.gov, one containing a temporary account number and another containing a temporary password. A link to the BLS Internet Data Collection Facility website is included in each email.


  3. The temporary account number serves as a one-time User ID, and along with the temporary password should be used the first time you log in for the IPP. Do not use the existing User ID and/or password that you use to log in when reporting to another survey.
