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.’’
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 November 9, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Nora
Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer,
Division of Management Systems,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:29 Sep 09, 2010
Jkt 220001
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 will be
implementing a cell phone frame to
address a coverage issue associated with
landline RDD surveys. The goal of
including a cell phone frame is to
contact respondents who reside in
households with no landline service,
but with cellular phone service. The
implementation process will begin with
a pre-test beginning in the first quarter
of 2011 to assess cell phone frame
interviewing and to determine the
correct amount of sample to pull for
each primary sampling unit or
geographic area in the CPI. The cell
phone frame will be deployed into
production in the third quarter of 2011.
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.
