SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the International Price Program U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes 
information collection. Price data collected by the International Price 
Program are used to produce indexes that measure, on a monthly basis, 
changes in transaction prices of goods and services exported from or 
imported into the U.S. Published data, in turn, are used to deflate 
import and export trade statistics, deflate the foreign trade component 
of the Gross Domestic Product, determine monetary and fiscal policy, 
negotiate trade agreements, and determine trade and commercial policy. 
Respondents are establishments conducting import/export trade. They 
receive no compensation for their voluntary participation. Bureau of 
Labor Statistics Authorizing Statute sections 1 and 2 authorize this 
information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1, 2.
    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 it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1220-0025.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for

[[Page 61243]]

this collection is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2015. The DOL 
seeks to extend PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) more years, without any change to existing requirements. The 
DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted 
to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo 
review. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the 
related notice published in the Federal Register on May 15, 2015 (80 FR 
28011).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1220-0025. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
    Agency: DOL-BLS.
    Title of Collection: International Price Program U.S. Import and 
Export Price Indexes.
    OMB Control Number: 1220-0025.
    Affected Public: Private Sector--businesses or other for profits.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 7,950.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 46,950.
