SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Consumer Expenditure Surveys are used to
gather information on expenditures, income, and other related subjects.
These data are used to periodically update the national Consumer Price
Index. In addition, the data are used by a variety of researchers in
academia, government agencies, and the private sector. The data are
collected from a national probability sample of households designed to
represent the total civilian non-institutional population. For
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related

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.
