SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The price data collected by the
International Price Program (IPP) is used to produce indexes which
measure, on a monthly basis, changes in transaction prices of goods and
services exported from or imported into the U.S. This published data is
in turn used to deflate import and export trade statistics, deflate the
foreign trade component of the GDP, determine monetary and fiscal
policy, negotiate trade agreements, and determine trade and commercial
policy. The respondents are establishments conducting import/export
trade and receive no compensation for their participation. The IPP
survey is a voluntary survey. For additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal
Register January 19, 2024 (89 FRN 3695).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
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.
Agency: DOL-BLS.
Title of Collection: International Price Program U.S. Import and
Export Price Indexes.
