The Consumer Expenditure Surveys are
used to gather information on expenditures, income, and other
related subjects. These data are used to periodically update the
national Consumer Price Index. In addition the data are used by a
variety of researchers in academia, government agencies, and the
private sector. The data are collected from a national probability
sample of households designed to represent the total civilian
non-institutional population.

Reporting burden has decreased
from 50,741 to 48,639 due to the following: 1) the addition of the
Self-Administered Diary test and 2) full implementation of the
Diary sample approved in a previous package. The increase in burden
from the self-administered diary test was offset by a decrease in
response rates.
