SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure
of the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for a
market basket of consumer goods and services. Each month, BLS data
collectors called economic assistants, visit or call thousands of
retail stores, service establishments, rental units, and doctors'
offices, all over the United States to obtain information on the prices
of the thousands of items used to track and measure price changes in
the CPI. The collection of price data from retail establishments is
essential for the timely and accurate calculation of the commodities
and services component of the CPI. The CPI is then widely used as a
measure of inflation, indicator of the effectiveness of government
economic policy, deflator for other economic series, and as a means of
adjusting dollar values. For additional substantive information about
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on
April 3, 2023 (88 FRN 19678).
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions
of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
