60 Day FR Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 35 / Tuesday, February 22, 2011 / Notices
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
Producer Price Index survey.
The PPI collection is not a one-time
project with an end date. The purpose
of the PPI collection is to accumulate
data for the ongoing, monthly
publication of the PPI family of indexes.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics must
continue collecting data for the PPI
since both policy and business planning
are affected by the completeness of the
description of price trends. Dollardenominated measures of economic
performance, such as Gross Domestic
Product, require accurate price data in
order to convert nominal to constantdollar values. Inflation-free national
income accounting figures are vital to
fiscal and monetary policy-makers when

setting objectives and targets. It is
conservatively estimated that hundredsof-billions of dollars worth of contracts
and purchase agreements employ PPIs
as part of price-adjustment clauses.
Failure to calculate data would tend to
extend the time frame required for
accurate recognition of and appropriate
adaptation to economic events.
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.
