Agency Information Collection
Activities; Submission to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Household Pulse Survey
On May 25, 2022, the Department of
Commerce received clearance from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 to
conduct Phase 3.5 of the Household
Pulse Survey (OMB No. 0607–1013,
Exp. 10/31/23). The Household Pulse
Survey was designed to meet a need for
timely information associated with
household experiences during the
Covid–19 pandemic. The Department is
committed to ensuring that the data
collected by the Household Pulse
Survey continue to meet information

needs as they may evolve over the
course of the pandemic. This notice
serves to inform of the Department’s
intent to request clearance from OMB to
make some revisions to the Household
Pulse Survey questionnaire. To ensure
that the data collected by the Household
Pulse Survey continue to meet
information needs as they evolve over
the course of the pandemic, the Census
Bureau submits this Request for
Revision to an Existing Collection for a
revised Phase 3.6 questionnaire.
Phase 3.6 includes new questions on
the ability to carry out day-to-day
activities due to experiencing long
COVID, non-parental childcare
arrangements and costs of childcare,
changes in transportation behaviors due
to cost of gas, a series of questions
regarding access to infant formula, and
inflation and changes in behavior due to
increasing prices. Questions on K–12
enrollment and educational catch-up
activities will be reinstated for Phase
3.6. There are also modifications to
existing questions, including changing
the reference period for the
unemployment insurance items, adding
Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Women, Infants, and
Children (WIC) as a response option to
the question that asks about how
households meet spending needs, and
replacing employment categories with
the standard North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes.
Several questions will be removed for
Phase 3.6, including questions on lack
of access to childcare, use of public
transportation and ridesharing, working
or volunteering outside the home,
receipt and use of the Child Tax Credit,
post-secondary educational disruptions,
and telehealth for adults and children.
It is the Department’s intention to
commence data collection using the
revised instrument on or about August
24, 2022. The Department invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections,
which helps us assess the impact of our
information collection requirements and
minimize the public’s reporting burden.
Public comments were previously
sought on the Household Pulse Survey
via the Federal Register on May 19,
2020, June 3, 2020, February 1, 2021,
April 13, 2021, June 24, 2021, October
26, 2021, January 24, 2022, and April
18, 2022. This notice allows for an
additional 30 days for public comments
on the proposed revisions.

needs expressed via public comment
and in consult with other Federal
agencies. The overall burden change to
the public will be insignificant.
