I. Background
The Producer Price Index (PPI), one of
the Nation’s leading economic
indicators, designated as a Principal
Federal Economic Indicator. The PPI
consists of a family of indexes that
measures the average change over time
in the selling prices received by
domestic producers of goods and
services. About 10,000 PPIs for
individual products and groups of
products are released each month. PPIs
are available for the output of nearly all
industries in the goods-producing
sectors of the U.S. economy—mining,
manufacturing, agriculture, fishing, and
forestry—as well as natural gas,
electricity, construction, and goods
competitive with those made in the
producing sectors, such as waste and
scrap materials. The PPI data are widely
used by the business community as well
as by government. In particular the data
are used as an economic indicator
playing a crucial role in market analysis,
as a deflator of other economic series,
the basis for the calculation of price
adjustments for contracts and purchase
agreements and as an input to economic
research. These uses highlight the
necessity of the PPI in order to
understand the economy.
PPI data meets a wide range of
government needs by providing a
description of the magnitude and
composition of price changes within the
economy. Government agencies view
these indexes as sensitive indicators of
the economic environment and closely
follow each monthly release of statistics.
PPI data are vital in helping the
President and Congress set fiscal
spending targets. The Federal Reserve
Board Open Market Committee monitors
producer prices to help determine
monetary policy. Federal policy makers
at the Department of the Treasury and

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:21 Jun 04, 2020

Jkt 250001

the Council of Economic Advisors
utilize these statistics to help interpret
the economic environment and make
decisions based upon these
interpretations. Many dollardenominated measurements of
economic performance, such as the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP), require
accurate price data for the conversion of
nominal dollars into real dollars.
National income accounting figures
must also be inflation free in order to
remain relevant to fiscal and monetary
policy makers setting objectives. Price
adjustment clauses in government
purchasing contracts commonly use one
or more PPIs. According to a
conservative estimate hundreds-ofbillions of dollars’ worth of contracts
and purchase agreements employ PPIs
as part of price adjustment clauses.
Failure to calculate these price data
would prolong the time frame needed
for accurate recognition of and
appropriate adaptation to economic
events.
The private sector also makes
extensive use of PPI data. Researchers
commonly use producer prices to probe
and measure the interaction of market
forces. Private firms use PPIs for
contract escalation and price
adjustment. The Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) recommends using PPI
data for certain kinds of tax related
inventory accounting, such as Last-InFirst-Out (LIFO). Private businesses
extensively use PPIs for planning and
operations. Firms often compare the
prices they pay and receive with
changes in appropriate PPIs.
Economic researchers and forecasters
also put PPIs to regular use. They use
PPI data to better understand market
forces. Research topics requiring
producer price data include studying
elasticities, potential lead and lag
structures within price changes, and the
identification of prices that demonstrate
tremendous influence throughout the
economy if they change. Policy-makers,
businesses, and researchers all require
complete descriptions of price change
trends if they are to perform effectively
and efficiently.
The expansive coverage of PPIs makes
it very valuable to the users described
above as well as many others.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
extension of the PPI survey.
The PPI collection is not a one-time
project with an end date. The purpose
of the PPI collection is to accumulate

PO 00000

Frm 00069

Fmt 4703

34657

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
benefit from accurate, timely, and
relevant description of price trends.
Legislators and government agencies use
the PPI to assist them with developing
policy and evaluating the markets.
Dollar-denominated measures of
economic performance, such as Gross
Domestic Product, require accurate
price data in order to convert nominal
to constant-dollar values. Inflation-free
national income accounting figures are
vital to fiscal and monetary policymakers when setting objectives and
targets. The price adjustment clauses of
purchase agreements use monthly PPIs.
It is conservatively estimated that
hundreds-of-billions of dollars’ worth of
contracts and purchase agreements
employ PPIs as part of price-adjustment
clauses. Failure to provide current
accurate monthly statistics would
necessitate more complex clauses in
contracts and prolong the time required
to determine price changes for purposes
of contract adjustments.
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.
Title of Collection: Producer Price
Index Survey.
OMB Number: 1220–0008.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Private Sector.

We are publishing notice of records
schedules in which agencies propose to
dispose of records they no longer need
to conduct agency business. We invite
public comments on these records
schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C.
3303a(a), and list the schedules at the
end of this notice by agency and
subdivision requesting disposition
authority.
In addition, this notice lists the
organizational unit(s) accumulating the
records or states that the schedule has
agency-wide applicability. It also
provides the control number assigned to
each schedule, which you will need if
you submit comments on that schedule.
We have uploaded the records
schedules and accompanying appraisal
memoranda to the regulations.gov
docket for this notice as ‘‘other’’
documents. Each records schedule
contains a full description of the records
at the file unit level as well as their
proposed disposition. The appraisal
memorandum for the schedule includes
information about the records.
We will post comments, including
any personal information and
attachments, to the public docket
unchanged. Because comments are
public, you are responsible for ensuring
that you do not include any confidential
or other information that you or a third
party may not wish to be publicly

We will consider all comments
submitted by the posted deadline and
consult as needed with the Federal
agency seeking the disposition
authority. After considering comments,
we will post on regulations.gov a
‘‘Consolidated Reply’’ summarizing the
comments, responding to them, and
noting any changes we have made to the
proposed records schedule. We will
then send the schedule for final
approval by the Archivist of the United
States. You may elect at regulations.gov
to receive updates on the docket,
including an alert when we post the
Consolidated Reply, whether or not you
submit a comment. If you have a
question, you can submit it as a
comment, and can also submit any
concerns or comments you would have
to a possible response to the question.
We will address these items in
consolidated replies along with any
other comments submitted on that
schedule.
We will post schedules on our
website in the Records Control Schedule
(RCS) Repository, at https://
www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs,
after the Archivist approves them. The
RCS contains all schedules approved
since 1973.
Background
Each year, Federal agencies create
billions of records. To control this
accumulation, agency records managers
prepare schedules proposing retention
periods for records and submit these
schedules for NARA’s approval. Once
approved by NARA, records schedules
provide mandatory instructions on what
happens to records when no longer
needed for current Government
business. The records schedules
authorize agencies to preserve records of
continuing value in the National
Archives or to destroy, after a specified
period, records lacking continuing
administrative, legal, research, or other
value. Some schedules are
comprehensive and cover all the records
of an agency or one of its major
subdivisions. Most schedules, however,
cover records of only one office or
program or a few series of records. Many
