SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Consumer Expenditure
Surveys: Quarterly Interview and Diary
information collection. The BLS uses
the Consumer Expenditure Surveys to
gather information on expenditures,
income, and other related subjects. The
data is updated periodically in the
national Consumer Price Index. In
addition, the data is used by a variety
of researchers in academia, government
agencies, and the private sector. The
data is collected from a national
probability sample of households
designed to represent the total civilian
non-institutional population. The
Census Authorizing Statute and BLS
Authorizing Statute authorize this
information collection. See 13 U.S.C. 8b
and 29 U.S.C. 2.
This ICR has been characterized as a
revision, because of several Quarterly
Interview questions will be modified.
These changes include collapsing the
items codes for attachable campers and
unattached campers into a single item
code; regrouping the clothing sections
for easier understanding by the
respondent such as adding a swimwear
category, regrouping items previously
collected in the Swimwear, swim coverups, or swimwear accessories category,
and renaming the outerwear section to
Coats and Jackets; replacing questions
on prepaid long distance calling cards
with a question on prepaid cellular
cards; and deleting the Miscellaneous
expenses/souvenirs question in the trip
section, as this has led to duplicate
reports. Additionally, an extended recall
section will be added on the point of
purchase of items for consumer units
(CUs) based on (1) the Primary
Sampling Unit (PSU) in which the
consumer unit resides (population
group) and (2) whether the item was not
reported by the consumer unit in the
current reference period. Only a CU that
does not report an expenditure for the
item and resides in the PSU in which
the extended recall section is being
asked will receive these additional
questions. In addition, a Consumer
Expenditure Diary survey (CED)
question will be added about the
veteran status of each member of the
E:\FR\FM\02NON1.SGM
02NON1
55208
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 213 / Friday, November 2, 2018 / Notices
consumer unit who is 17 and over. The
pick-up window, or the time a Field
Representative is allowed to pick up the
completed CED will also be extended to
ten (10) days. Finally, an additional
column will be added to the CED for the
respondent to record the point of
purchase for the expenditure the
respondent has recorded.
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 1220–0050. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
January 31, 2021; however, the DOL
notes that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
New requirements would only take
effect upon OMB approval. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 15, 2018 (83 FR 22520).
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
should mention OMB Control Number
1220–0050. The OMB 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; and
• 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
