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 revision of the
‘‘Telephone Point of Purchase Survey.’’

collection request (ICR) can be obtained

DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before September 12, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Amy A.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
I. Background
The purpose of this survey is to
develop and maintain a timely list of
retail, wholesale, and service
establishments where urban consumers
shop for specified items. This
information is used as the sampling
universe for selecting establishments at
which prices of specific items are
collected and monitored for use in
calculating the Consumer Price Index
(CPI). The survey has been ongoing
since 1980 and also provides
expenditure data that allows items that
are priced in the CPI to be properly
weighted.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
Telephone Point of Purchase Survey
(TPOPS).
Since 1997, the survey has been
administered quarterly via a computerassisted-telephone-interview. This
survey is flexible and creates the
possibility of introducing new products
into the CPI in a timely manner. The
data collected in this survey are
necessary for the continuing
construction of a current outlet universe
from which locations are selected for
the price collection needed for
calculating the CPI. Furthermore, the
TPOPS provides the weights used in
selecting the items that are priced at
these establishments. This sample
design produces an overall CPI market
basket that is more reflective of the
prices faced and the establishments
visited by urban consumers.
For this clearance, the BLS and the
Census Bureau have reduced the sample
from 86 primary sampling units (PSUs)
to 75. While the new sample continues
to be introduced, there will be overlap
of old and new samples in some areas
in which the TPOPS data are collected.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:44 Jul 13, 2006
Jkt 208001
In addition, each new PSU will have an
increased sample to be able to field a
full outlet sample to collect prices for
the CPI.
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.
