Proposed Collection, Comment
Request
ACTION:
Notice.
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.
SUMMARY:
Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before August 17, 2012.
DATES:
Send comments to Nora
Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer,
Division of Management Systems,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080,

comments also may be transmitted by

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 117 / Monday, June 18, 2012 / Notices
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 replacement of the
base sample, selected using 1990 Census
data. The on-going replacement of
sample requires 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.

Abstract: In the past, the National
Archives has made use of various lists
of independent researchers who perform
freelance research for hire in the
Washington, DC, area. We have sent
these lists upon request to researchers
who could not travel to the metropolitan
area to conduct their own research. To
better accommodate both the public and
NARA staff, the Customer Services
Division (RD–DC) of the National
Archives maintains a listing of
independent researchers for the public.
All interested independent researchers
provide their contact information via
this form. Collecting contact and other
key information from each independent
researcher and providing such
information to the public when deemed
appropriate will only increase business.
This form is not a burden in any way
to any independent researcher who
voluntarily submits a completed form.
Inclusion on the list will not be viewed
or advertised as an endorsement by the
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA). The listing is
compiled and disseminated as a service
to the public.
