Abstract: Violence Against Women 

Act of 2005, Public Law 109–162, Title 

IX, Section 904(a) mandates that the 

United States Department of Justice 

conduct a comprehensive study of 

violence against American Indian and 

Alaska Native women living on tribal 

reservations and in Alaska Native 

villages. As part of that program of 

research, NIJ is undertaking a 

preliminary study known as the 

Violence Against Indian Women 

(VAIW) prevalence study, with the 

following objectives: 

(a) Create and pilot test a survey 

instrument that captures valid, reliable 

data on the nature and extent of 

intimate partner violence, sexual 

violence, and stalking committed 

against American Indian and Alaska 

Native women; and 

(b) Develop a study methodology, 

including sampling strategy and data 

collection approach that enables the safe 

collection of meaningful, standardized 

data. 

This will be a one-time information 

collection and is expected to take 

approximately two months from the 

time the first participant is enrolled 

until the last survey is administered. At 

the end of this project, NIJ will have the 

knowledge, tools, experience, and 

methods to coordinate and field a larger 

study as mandated by Congress. The 

VAIW prevalence project will ensure 

that the survey instrument and 

approach used for NIJ’s planned data 

collection are methodologically rigorous 

and fully responsive to Congressional 

mandate and to the needs of American 

Indian and Alaska Native communities. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to

respondents will complete the survey 

within 1 hour. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: There are an estimated 225 

total annual burden hours associated 

with this collection.

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed extension 

without change of a currently approved 

collection for the ‘‘Producer Price Index’’ 

survey. A copy of the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) can 

be obtained by contacting the individual 

listed below in the ADDRESSES section of 

this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Producer Price Index (PPI), one of 

the Nation’s leading economic 

indicators, is used as a measure of price 

movements, as an indicator of 

inflationary trends, for inventory 

valuation, and as a measure of 

purchasing power of the dollar at the 

primary-market level. It also is used for 

market and economic research and as a 

basis for escalation in long-term 

contracts and purchase agreements. 

Producer Price Index data provide a 

description of the magnitude and 

composition of price change within the 

economy, and serve a wide range of 

governmental needs. This family of 

indexes are closely followed, monthly 

statistics which are viewed as sensitive 

indicators of the economic environment. 

Price data are vital in helping both the 

President and Congress set fiscalspending targets. Producer prices are 

monitored by the Federal Reserve Board 

Open Market Committee to help decide 

monetary policy. Federal policy-makers 

at the Department of Treasury and the 

Council of Economic Advisors utilize 

these statistics to help form and 

evaluate monetary and fiscal measures 

and to help interpret the general 

business environment. In addition, it is 

common to find one or more PPIs, alone 

or in combination with other measures, 

used to escalate the delivered price of 

goods for government purchases. 

In addition to governmental uses, PPI 

data are regularly put to use by the 

private sector. Private industry uses PPI 

data for contract escalation. For one 

particular method of tax-related Last-InFirst-Out (LIFO) inventory accounting, 

the Internal Revenue Service suggests 

that firms use PPI data for making 

calculations. Private businesses make 

extensive use of industrial-price data for 

planning and operations. Price trends 

are used to assess the condition of 

markets. Firms commonly compare the 

prices they pay for material inputs as 

well as prices they receive for products 

that they make and sell with changes in 

similar PPIs. 

Economic researchers and forecasters 

also put the PPI to regular use. PPIs are 

widely used to probe and measure the 

interaction of market forces. Some 

examples of research topics that require 

extensive price data include: The 

identification of varying price 

elasticities and the degree of cost passthrough in the economy, the 

identification of potential lead and lag 

structures among price changes, and the 

identification of prices which exert 

major impacts throughout market 

structures.
