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 ‘‘International Price Program—U.S. 

Import and Export Product 

Information.’’ 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 10, 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The U.S. Import and Export Price 

Indexes, produced by the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics’ International Price 

Program (IPP), measure price change 

over time for all categories of imported 

and exported products, as well as many 

services. The IPP has produced the U.S. 

Import Price Indexes continuously since 

1973 and the U.S. Export Price Indexes 

continuously since 1971. The Office of 

Management and Budget has listed the 

Import and Export Price Indexes as a 

Principal Federal Economic Indicator 

since 1982. The indexes are widely used 

in both the public and private sectors. 

The primary public sector use is the 

deflation of the U.S. Trade Statistics and 

the Gross Domestic Product; the indexes 

also are used in formulating U.S. trade 

policy and in trade negotiations with 

other countries. In the private sector, 

uses of the Import Price Indexes include 

market analysis, inflation forecasting, 

contract escalation, and replacement 

cost accounting. 

The IPP indexes are closely followed 

statistics, and are viewed as a sensitive 

indicator of the economic environment.

The U.S. Department of Commerce uses 

the monthly statistics to produce 

monthly and quarterly estimates of 

inflation-adjusted trade flows. Without 

continuation of data collection, it would 

be extremely difficult to construct 

accurate estimates of the U.S. Gross 

Domestic Product. In addition, Federal 

policymakers in the Department of 

Treasury, the Council of Economic 

Advisers, and the Federal Reserve Board 

utilize these statistics on a regular basis 

to improve these agencies’ formulation 

and evaluation of monetary and fiscal 

policy and evaluation of the general 

business environment. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for the U.S. 

Import and Export Price Indexes. The 

IPP continues to modernize data 

collection and processing to permit 

more timely release of its indexes, and 

to reduce reporter burden. Recently, the 

IPP implemented changes to its web 

repricing application to reduce burden 

on IPP reporters providing prices via the 

internet. Rather than requiring the 

respondent to type in the account 

number on the logon screen, the system 

now displays this information 

automatically when the respondent 

accesses the web repricing application 

by clicking the link in the ‘time to 

reprice’ e-mail. Also, the application 

now allows respondents to provide 

general comments which apply to all 

items (rather than directing them to 

retype the comment for all applicable 

items) and all e-mails sent to reporters 

using web repricing can now include a 

cc to one additional company contact. 

In addition, IPP completed a study 

aimed at reducing Out of Scope rates, 

which upon implementation of the 

various proposals will further reduce 

respondent burden. 

The IPP has also expanded the use of 

its Web application, introduced in 2003 

to allow respondents to update their 

data online. Through April 2009, 65 

percent of IPP respondents were 

providing prices via the Web 

application or had agreed to start using 

this repricing method. Field Economists 

currently offer Web repricing to all new 

respondents and at initiation, it is the 

preferred method of collection offered to 

companies. 

The collection of IPP data was 

previously collected under OMB 

Number 1220–0025 for Export 

Information and 1220–0026 for Import 

Information. Upon approval of this 

package information for both Export and 

Import information will be collected 

under OMB Number 1220–0025 and 

OMB Number 1220–0026 will be 

discontinued. 

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. 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

Title: International Price Program 

(IPP) U.S. Import and Export Price

1 During initiation, the respondent determines how many months he/she will need to supply data in a given year based upon how often the 

company changes its pricing information. The average company is requested to supply information 6.8 months out of every year. 2Time to reprice is based upon 9 minutes of response time per item × 4.687 items = 42.183 minutes/60 = .7031 hours. 3Time to reprice is based upon 9 minutes of response time per item × 4.294 items = 38.646 minutes/60 = .6441 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for 

Occupational Safety and Health invites 

interested individuals to submit 

nominations for membership on 

NACOSH. The Committee is authorized 

by section 7(a) of the Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH 

Act) (29 U.S.C. 656) to advise the 

Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of 

Health and Human Services on matters 

relating to the administration of the 

OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing 

advisory body and operates in 

compliance with provisions in the OSH 

Act, the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations 

issued pursuant to those laws (29 CFR 

1912a, 41 CFR part 101–6 and 102–3). 

NACOSH is comprised of 12 

members, all of whom the Secretary of 

Labor appoints, and nominations will be 

accepted for seven vacancies (29 CFR 

1912a.2). The composition of the 

committee and categories of new 

members to be appointed are as follows: 

• Four public representatives of 

whom two will be appointed; 

• Two management representatives of 

whom one will be appointed; 

• Two labor representatives of whom 

two will be appointed; 

• Two occupational safety 

professional representatives of whom 

one will be appointed; and 

• Two occupational health 

professional representatives of whom 

one will be appointed. 

Pursuant to 29 CFR 1912a.2, the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

(HHS) will designate for appointment by 

the Secretary of Labor one of the public 

representatives and the representative 

from the occupational health 

professions. Therefore, OSHA will 

provide to HHS all nominations and 

supporting materials for those 

membership categories. 

NACOSH members serve for staggered 

two-year terms, unless the member 

becomes unable to serve, resigns, ceases 

to be qualified to serve because he or 

she no longer meets the relevant 

representational requirements, or is 

removed by the Secretary of Labor. If a 

vacancy occurs before a term expires, 

the Secretary may appoint for the 

remainder of the unexpired term a new 

member who represents the same 

interest as the predecessor. The 

committee meets at least two times a 

year (29 CFR 1912a.4). 

Any interested person or organization 

may nominate one or more qualified 

persons for membership. Nominations 

must include the nominee’s name, 

occupation or current position, and 

contact information. The nomination 

also must identify the category that the 

candidate is qualified to represent, and 

include a re ́sume ́ of the nominee’s 

background, experience, and 

qualifications. In addition, the 

nomination must state that the nominee 

is aware of the nomination and is 

willing to serve on NACOSH for a twoyear term. 

NACOSH members will be selected 

upon the basis of their experience and 

competence in the field of occupational 

safety and health (29 CFR 1912a.2). The 

information received through this 

nomination process, in addition to other 

relevant sources of information, will 

assist the Secretary of Labor in 

appointing members to serve on 

NACOSH. In selecting NACOSH 

members, the Secretary of Labor will 

consider individuals nominated in 

response to this Federal Register notice, 

as well as other qualified individuals. 

OSHA will publish the new NACOSH 

membership list in the Federal Register.
