ACTION: Notice of information collection;
request for comment.
AGENCY:

The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed reinstatement
of the ‘‘Eating and Health Supplement
to the American Time Use Survey.’’ A
copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the individual listed below
in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES

I. Background
The American Time Use Survey
(ATUS) is the Nation’s first federally
administered, continuous survey on
time use in the United States. It
measures, for example, time spent with
children, working, sleeping, or doing
leisure activities. In the United States,
several existing Federal surveys collect
income and wage data for individuals
and families, and analysts often use
such measures of material prosperity as
proxies for quality of life. Time-use data
substantially augment these quality-oflife measures. The data also can be used
in conjunction with wage data to
evaluate the contribution of non-market
work to national economies. This
enables comparisons of production
between nations that have different
mixes of market and non-market
activities.
The ATUS is used to develop
nationally representative estimates of
how people spend their time. This is
done by collecting a time diary about
the activities survey respondents did
over a 24-hour period ‘‘yesterday,’’ from
4 a.m. on the day before the interview
until 4 a.m. on the day of the interview.
In the one-time interview, respondents
also report who was with them during
the activities, where they were, how
long each activity lasted, and if they
were paid. All of this information has
numerous practical applications for
sociologists, economists, educators,
government policymakers,
businesspersons, health researchers, and
others.
Time use data allows researchers to
analyze the choices people make in how
they spend their time, along with the
time and income constraints they face.
The data from the proposed Eating and
Health module supplement can be used
for research on the inter-relations of
time use patterns and body mass index
(BMI), food assistance program
participation, grocery and food
shopping, and meal preparation. These

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001

data enhance the understanding of
peoples’ overall well-being.
Information collected in the
supplement will be published as a
public use data set to facilitate research
on numerous topics, such as: The
association between eating patterns,
physical activity, and BMI; time-use
patterns of food assistance program
participants and low-income
nonparticipants; and how time-use
varies by health status. Sponsored by
the Economic Research Service (ERS) of
the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA), the supplement is
asked of respondents immediately upon
their completion of the American Time
Use Survey (ATUS).
The Eating and Health supplement
supports the mission of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics by providing relevant
information on economic and social
issues, specifically the association
between time-use patterns and eating
and physical activity behavior and
health. The data from the Eating and
Health Module Supplement also closely
support the mission of its sponsor, ERS,
to improve the nation’s nutrition and
health. The supplement surveys
individuals aged 15 and up from a
nationally representative sample of
approximately 2,060 sample households
each month.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the 2022–
23 Eating and Health Module of
questions to follow the American Time
Use Survey (ATUS). The Eating and
Health Module, if approved, will
include questions about peoples’ eating
behaviors, food assistance program
participation, in-store and online
grocery shopping, prepared meal
purchases, food preparation, and food
sufficiency. It will also include
questions on general health and
physical exercise.
There have been few efforts to collect
data on time-use and how it relates to
BMI, food assistance participation,
grocery shopping, and meal preparation.
The ATUS first ran Eating and Health
Modules in 2006–08 and a modified
version in 2014–16. The previous Eating
and Health Modules produced useful
data that have been used in a variety of
research products that inform policy
and programs on eating and other
behaviors.
Fielding the Eating and Health
Module Supplement in calendar years
2022–23 will allow researchers to
monitor changes in Americans’ time use
patterns along with changes in
Americans’ eating activities, BMI
values, and food assistance

participation. Additionally, the
proposed 2022–23 Eating and Health
Module includes several important
questions that were not included in
previous modules. This includes
questions about online grocery
shopping, quality of diet, and physical
exercise. These questions will provide
an additional dimension to analyses of
the time-use data and BMI, food
assistance participation, grocery
shopping, meal preparation, and
physical exercise.
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.
