SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. 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 revision of the ‘‘The 

Consumer Expenditure Surveys: The 

Quarterly Interview and the Diary.’’ 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.

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice on or

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
