(OMB) in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 to
conduct Phase 3.2 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 3.3 questionnaire.
Specifically, Phase 3.3 includes
modifications to questions relating to
vaccinations that expand response
options for the number of doses and
brand of Covid–19 vaccine received;
three items asked in prior phases that
have been reinstated with regard to
unemployment insurance benefits, with
a modified reference period; and a
question that was reinstated relating to
use of public transit and ridesharing.
It is the Department’s intention to
commence data collection using the
revised instrument on or about
November 17, 2021. 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, and
again on June 24, 2021. This notice
allows for an additional 30 days for
public comments on the proposed
revisions.
