Consumer Expenditure Surveys: The
Quarterly Interview and the Diary.’’ A
copy of the proposed information
collection request (ICR) can be obtained

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:14 Sep 04, 2012
Jkt 226001
I. Background
The Consumer Expenditure (CE)
Surveys collect data on consumer
expenditures, demographic information,
and related data needed by the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) and other
public and private data users. The
continuing surveys provide a constant
measurement of changes in consumer
expenditure patterns for economic
analysis and to obtain data for future
CPI revisions. The CE Surveys have
been ongoing since 1979.
The data from the CE Surveys are
used (1) for CPI revisions, (2) to provide
a continuous flow of data on income
and expenditure patterns for use in
economic analysis and policy
formulation, and (3) to provide a
flexible consumer survey vehicle that is
available for use by other Federal
Government agencies. Public and
private users of price statistics,
including Congress and the economic
policymaking agencies of the Executive
branch, rely on data collected in the CPI
in their day-to-day activities. Hence,
data users and policymakers widely
accept the need to improve the process
used for revising the CPI. If the CE
Surveys were not conducted on a
continuing basis, current information
necessary for more timely, as well as
more accurate, updating of the CPI
would not be available. In addition, data
would not be available to respond to the
continuing demand from the public and
private sectors for current information
on consumer spending.
In the Quarterly Interview Survey,
each consumer unit (CU) in the sample
is interviewed every three months over
five calendar quarters. The sample for
each quarter is divided into three
panels, with CUs being interviewed
every three months in the same panel of
every quarter. The Quarterly Interview
Survey is designed to collect data on the
types of expenditures that respondents
can be expected to recall for a period of
three months or longer. In general the
expenses reported in the Interview
Survey are either relatively large, such
as property, automobiles, or major
appliances, or are expenses which occur
on a fairly regular basis, such as rent,
utility bills, or insurance premiums.
The Diary (or recordkeeping) Survey
is completed at home by the respondent
family for two consecutive one-week
periods. The primary objective of the
Diary Survey is to obtain expenditure
data on small, frequently purchased
items which normally are difficult to
recall over longer periods of time.

II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
proposed revision of the Consumer
Expenditure Surveys: The Quarterly
Interview and the Diary.
The continuing CE Surveys provide a
constant measurement of changes in
consumer expenditure patterns for
economic analysis and obtain data for
future CPI revisions.
The Consumer Expenditure Quarterly
Interview Survey has recently
undergone a thorough review. The
proposed changes from this review fall
into two major categories: Streamlining
the current questions in several sections
and updating several questions and
sections to reflect the current
marketplace. In the streamlining
category, the BLS deleted or collapsed
obsolete questions. For example,
previously clothing purchases were
asked separately for those over and
under two years old. These questions
were combined into one section for all
clothing purchases. Sewing products
were moved to ‘Miscellaneous
Expenditures’ after ‘arts and crafts.’
To keep the survey current and to
fulfill the requirements of the Consumer
Price Index (CPI), question wording
changed and new items were added. For
example, the questions on who is a
member of the CU were collapsed from
several questions down to one; the
number of educational categories were
reduced; the residential telephone
service category was collapsed with
voice over IP; cell phone service was
collapsed with prepaid cell phone
service; vehicle repair categories were
collapsed; sewing item expenditures
were collapsed from four questions into
one; some appliance categories (e.g.
washer and dryer will now be collected
together) were collapsed; service
contracts were combined with the repair
and maintenance of items; clothing
items were combined. Lastly, many
questions in the income section were
collapsed and reworded.
There are no changes to the Diary
CAPI instrument since clearance was
last received.
A full list of the proposed changes to
the Quarterly Interview Survey and
Diary Survey are available upon request.
In addition, the Consumer
Expenditure program is planning
several tests over the next several years
in an effort to improve the CE surveys
in the areas of both data quality and
respondent burden.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
