This survey has a number of uses. The most important is the
periodic revision of the Consumer Price Index. The Consumer Price
Index provides cost of living and wage adjustments, social security
payment adjustments, and helps determine the cost of school
lunches.
Government and private agencies use the data to study the welfare
of particular segments of the population. Economic
policymakers use the data to study the impact of policy changes
in the welfare of different socioeconomic groups. Researchers use
the data in a variety of studies, including those that focus on the
spending behavior of different family types and historical spending
trends.

HOW IS THE DATA COLLECTED?
HOW MANY TIMES WILL YOU I BE INTERVIEWED?
I will be here a short time today to ask a few questions about your
household. I will also drop off your first diary. How long it will take to
write your expenses each day depends on how many things you buy.
Some days, you may have nothing to record, other days may have a
lot to record. It averages out to about 15 minutes a day.
After today, I will return in a week to pick up your completed diary
and drop off the second diary. At the end of the second week, I will
return to pick up the second completed diary and ask a few final
questions.

IS THIS SURVEY AUTHORIZED BY LAW?
Yes. The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts the Consumer
Expenditure Diary Survey under the authority of Title 29 of the U.S.
Code. Congress authorizes the financial support for the CE survey
through Public Laws 94-439 and 95-205.
The Census Bureau collects the CE data under the authority of Title
13, U.S. Code, Section 8b, which allows the Census Bureau to
undertake surveys for other government agencies. Participation in
the survey is voluntary. Under Title 13, the Census Bureau holds all
information in strict confidence. We will not release information
reported in the survey which would permit the identification of a
household or any of its members to anyone outside of the Census
Bureau.
