BILLING CODE 7020–02–P
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Producer Price Index (PPI) Survey. The
PPI is 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. The PPI is also
used in market and economic research
and as a basis for escalation in long-term
contracts and purchase agreements. This
information collection accumulates data
for the ongoing monthly publication of
the PPI family of indexes. The BLS
Authorizing Statute authorizes this
information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 2.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1220–0008.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
September 30, 2017. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 12, 2017 (82 FR 22163).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
