DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Bureau of Labor Statistics 

Proposed Collection, Comment 

Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

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 

(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 proposed extension of 

the ‘‘Consumer Price Index Housing 

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. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice on or 

before August 17, 2009. 

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 

fax to 202–691–5111 (this is not a toll 

free number). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Nora Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer, 

telephone 202–691–7628. (See 

ADDRESSES Section.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the 

timeliest instrument compiled by the 

U.S. Government that is designed to 

measure changes in the purchasing 

power of the urban consumer’s dollar. 

The CPI is used most widely as a 

measure of inflation, and is used in the 

formulation of economic policy. It also 

is used as a deflator of other economic 

series, that is, to adjust other series for 

price changes and to translate these 

series into inflation-free dollars. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for the CPI 

Housing Survey. This request addresses 

both the ongoing collection activities 

associated with compilation of the 

shelter component of the Consumer 

Price Index and the augmentation of the 

sample requiring the creation of new 

segments of rental dwellings in all 87 

Primary Sampling Units (PSUs). This 

action assures the ongoing activities of 

rent data collection and updates the 

sample such that the estimates are 

sufficient and less likely to be biased. 

III. Desired Focus of Comments 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected.
