(‘‘Amendment’’) with the United States
District Court for the Western District of
Washington in the lawsuit entitled
United States v. Point Ruston, LLC, Civil

The Amendment constitutes a
material modification of a 1997 Consent
Decree (‘‘Decree’’) concerning the
remediation of a portion of the
Commencement Bay, Near Shore/Tide

and a demonstration of financing
sufficient to fund the development and
capping of a discrete parcel—it is
eligible for a further extension. As a prerequisite to the Amendment, Point

stipulated penalties with interest, and
pay taxes on five parcels at the Site that
were in property tax foreclosure.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 25, 2022 / Notices

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 revision of the
‘‘The Consumer Expenditure Surveys:
The Quarterly Interview and the Diary.’’
A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the individual listed below
in the Addresses section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
Addresses section of this notice on or
before March 28, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Nora
Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer,
Division of Management Systems,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080,
2 Massachusetts Avenue NE,
Washington, DC 20212. Written
comments also may be transmitted by
email to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

SUMMARY:

I. Background
The Consumer Expenditure (CE)
Surveys collect data on consumer
expenditures, demographic information,
and related data needed by the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) and other
public and private data users. The
continuing surveys provide a constant
measurement of changes in consumer
expenditure patterns for economic
analysis and to obtain data for future
CPI revisions. The CE Surveys have
been ongoing since 1979.
The data from the CE Surveys are
used (1) for CPI revisions, (2) to provide
a continuous flow of data on income
and expenditure patterns for use in
economic analysis and policy
formulation, and (3) to provide a
flexible consumer survey vehicle that is
available for use by other Federal
Government agencies. Public and
private users of price statistics,
including Congress and the economic

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:19 Jan 24, 2022

Jkt 256001

policymaking agencies of the Executive
branch, rely on data collected in the CPI
in their day-to-day activities. Hence,
data users and policymakers widely
accept the need to improve the process
used for revising the CPI. If the CE
Surveys were not conducted on a
continuing basis, current information
necessary for more timely, as well as
more accurate, updating of the CPI
would not be available. In addition, data
would not be available to respond to the
continuing demand from the public and
private sectors for current information
on consumer spending.
In the Quarterly Interview Survey,
each consumer unit (CU) in the sample
is interviewed every three months over
four calendar quarters. The sample for
each quarter is divided into three
panels, with CUs being interviewed
every three months in the same panel of
every quarter. The Quarterly Interview
Survey is designed to collect data on the
types of expenditures that respondents
can be expected to recall for a period of
three months or longer. In general the
expenses reported in the Interview
Survey are either relatively large, such
as property, automobiles, or major
appliances, or are expenses which occur
on a fairly regular basis, such as rent,
utility bills, or insurance premiums.
The Diary (or recordkeeping) Survey
is completed at home by the respondent
family for two consecutive one-week
periods. The primary objective of the
Diary Survey is to obtain expenditure
data on small, frequently purchased
items which normally are difficult to
recall over longer periods of time.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
proposed revision of the Consumer
Expenditure Surveys: The Quarterly
Interview (CEQ) and the Diary (CED).
The continuing CE Surveys provide a
constant measurement of changes in
consumer expenditure patterns for
economic analysis and obtain data for
future CPI revisions.
In the CEQ, CE is seeking clearance to
make the below changes.
CE will add point of purchase
questions for electrical vehicle charging
including the location (street
intersection or location such as the
name of the shopping center), the city,
state, company, and method of payment
where electric charging services were
obtained. CE will also implement
Computer Assisted Recording
Instrument (CARI) technology into CE
for quality control and research
purposes. CARI is a tool available
during data collection to capture audio
along with response data. With the

PO 00000

Frm 00089

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

respondent’s consent, a portion of each
interview is recorded unobtrusively.
The respondent’s consent will be
obtained through a consent request
question asking for the respondent’s
permission to record the interview for
quality control purposes. Lastly, the
questions on armed forces will be asked
prior to the question on veteran status
and individuals who indicate they are
in the armed forces will no longer be
asked if they are a veteran.
The CED uses both a CAPI instrument
and the paper Diary CE–801, Record of
Your Daily Expenses. CE plans to
update the Diary CE–801 paper Diary as
well as implement an online version for
non-emergency data collection.
The CED Diary collects information
on CU expenditures by asking each
selected sample unit to keep two oneweek diaries of all expenditures. The
Diary is necessary to collect
expenditures that respondents may not
be able to recall in a retrospective
interview. Several changes will be made
to the Diary, both the online and the
paper version. First the column ‘‘Mark
(X) if purchased for someone not on
your list’’ will be removed. Second, the
specific type of alcohol purchased will
no longer be collected and the question
will be updated to ‘‘Were alcoholic
beverages included in total cost?’’; the
columns for ‘‘wine’’, ‘‘beer’’, and
‘‘other’’ columns will be replaced with
‘‘yes’’ and ‘‘no’’ columns; and ‘‘Enter the
total cost of the alcohol’’ will be
replaced with ‘‘If YES—How much?’’
Third, the column ‘‘Mark (X) one that
best describes the type of meal’’ will be
deleted as the meal type (breakfast,
lunch, dinner, snack/drink) is no longer
needed. Fourth, instruction on the Diary
flap on ‘How to Fill Out Your Diary’
will be updated to reflect the above
changes. The Diary flap instructions
will also be updated to indicate that
food trucks should be included in
‘Mobile Vendor’ establishments.
The advance letters for both the CEQ
and CED will be updated to reflect
changes in the estimated time to
complete the interview. These letters
explain the nature of the information
the BLS wants to collect and the uses of
the CEQ or the CED data, as appropriate;
informs the respondents of the
confidential treatment of all identifying
information they provide; requests the
respondents’ participation in the survey;
describes the survey’s compliance with
the relevant provisions of the Privacy
Act and the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) disclosure requirements;
and provides a link to the address of the
respondent’s informational web page.
