directly competitive articles in the United 

States, and United States consumers, it finds 

that such articles should not be excluded 

from entry.

provision applies to cease and desist 

orders. 19 U.S.C. 1337(f)(1).

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Bureau of Labor Statistics 

Information Collection Activities, 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

Department of Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of information collection, 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

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 revision of the 

‘‘The Consumer Expenditure Surveys: 

The Quarterly Interview and the Diary.’’ 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the individual listed below 

in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

Addresses section of this notice on or 

before April 12, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Nora 

Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer, 

Division of Management Systems, 

Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 

2 Massachusetts Avenue NE, 

Washington, DC 20212. Written 

comments also may be transmitted by 

email to BLS_PRA_Public@bls.gov.

number). (See ADDRESSES section.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Consumer Expenditure (CE) 

Surveys collect data on consumer 

expenditures, demographic information, 

and related data needed by the 

Consumer Price Index (CPI) and other 

public and private data users. The 

continuing surveys provide a constant 

measurement of changes in consumer 

expenditure patterns for economic 

analysis and to obtain data for future 

CPI revisions. The CE Surveys have 

been ongoing since 1979. 

The data from the CE Surveys are 

used (1) for CPI revisions, (2) to provide 

a continuous flow of data on income 

and expenditure patterns for use in 

economic analysis and policy 

formulation, and (3) to provide a 

flexible consumer survey vehicle that is 

available for use by other Federal 

government agencies. Public and private 

users of price statistics, including 

Congress and the economic 

policymaking agencies of the Executive 

branch, rely on data collected in the CPI 

in their day-to-day activities. Hence, 

data users and policymakers widely 

accept the need to improve the process 

used for revising the CPI. If the CE 

Surveys were not conducted on a 

continuing basis, current information 

necessary for more timely, as well as 

more accurate, updating of the CPI 

would not be available. In addition, data 

would not be available to respond to the 

continuing demand from the public and 

private sectors for current information 

on consumer spending. 

In the Quarterly Interview Survey, 

each consumer unit (CU) in the sample 

is interviewed every three months over 

four calendar quarters. The sample for 

each quarter is divided into three 

panels, with CUs being interviewed 

every three months in the same panel of 

every quarter. The Quarterly Interview 

Survey is designed to collect data on the 

types of expenditures that respondents 

can be expected to recall for a period of 

three months or longer. In general the 

expenses reported in the Interview 

Survey are either relatively large, such 

as property, automobiles, or major 

appliances, or are expenses which occur 

on a fairly regular basis, such as rent, 

utility bills, or insurance premiums. 

The Diary (or recordkeeping) Survey 

is completed at home by the respondent 

family for two consecutive one-week 

periods. The primary objective of the 

Diary Survey is to obtain expenditure 

data on small, frequently purchased 

items which normally are difficult to 

recall over longer periods of time. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

approval is being sought for the 

proposed revision of the Consumer 

Expenditure Surveys: The Quarterly 

Interview (CEQ) and the Diary (CED). 

The purpose of this request is to 

obtain clearance for modifications to the 

Consumer Expenditure (CE) Surveys 

and to test a self-administered Diary. 

CE requests clearance to remove 

several point of purchase questions from 

the CEQ Computer Assisted Personal 

Interview (CAPI) instrument that are no 

longer needed by CPI and to add point 

of purchase questions for gasoline on 

trips including the name of the gas 

station or store and the location (city 

and state) where gasoline on a trip was 

purchased. 

CE is also seeking clearance to add a 

‘consent request’ question to the CEQ. 

The consent request question will ask 

respondents for permission to record the 

interview for quality control purposes. 

This question will be added to test the 

impact of the consent request question 

on respondent behavior, as well as rates 

of consent, and overall interview 

duration. The question will be 

administered to half of the CUs in their 

fourth wave production interview 

between October and December 2021. 

Respondents in this test group will be 

asked the consent request question. 

However, no recordings of the interview 

will actually take place. The results of 

this Consent Request test will inform CE 

regarding plans to incorporate Computer 

Assisted Recording Instrument (CARI) 

technology into CE for quality control 

and research purposes. 

CE is requesting clearance to test a 

self-administered Diary. In lieu of the 

production procedures for an in-person 

interview in which FRs place the diaries 

and train respondents on how to record 

the household’s daily expenditures, the 

Self-Administered Diary test will entail 

Diary placement and collection of 

sample unit, demographics, income, and 

select expenditure data through the 

Household Screener survey. 

Additionally, instead of the CED paper 

Diary, respondents will use the Online 

Diary with slight modifications. 

The purpose of the Self-Administered 

Diary test is to determine the sampling 

and measurement error by comparing 

the sample composition of those that 

complete an online diary to that of the 

BLS CE diary production sample to 

determine the differences in 

representativeness for various 

population subgroups. Additionally, 

response and cooperation rates, as well
