The Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) requests an emergency 180-day approval of an emergency Information Collection Request (ICR) to add six questions to the Consumer Expenditure Quarterly (CEQ) survey on the stimulus payment made by the Federal Government in response to the coronavirus pandemic and to modify procedures for the Consumer Expenditure Diary (CED) survey to limit exposure of staff and respondents.
These questions are necessary to measure the effect of the stimulus payments sent directly to many households in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Addition of the questions are needed to facilitate a timely and effective collection of expenditure data resulting from the stimulus. Economic data are used to evaluate the intended effect of the stimulus and to adequately explain changes in expenditure patterns that result from the coronavirus pandemic.

This is a new collection to collect information on the effects of the stimulus payments received due to the coronavirus pandemic. The questions will be collected beginning in June and continue until November, along with the regular CEQ collection. There are also modifications to the Diary collection procedures, due to the inability to do personal visits, adding additional collection time. The estimated additional burden for the CEQ is 61 hours and for the CED is 849 hours for a total of 910 additional hours of burden.
