On July 22, 2024, the Department of
Commerce received clearance from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 to

serves to inform you of the Department’s
intent to request clearance from OMB to
conduct the HTOPS June and August
data collections. The HTOPS program
will not collect data in July to allow for
operational updates to our systems and
processes. The June and August topical
surveys will include content from the
Household Pulse Survey. Household
Pulse Survey content continues to serve
as an experimental endeavor in
cooperation with other federal agencies
to produce near real-time data to
understand the effects of current events,
including health events, and other
social or economic events facing the
nation or a significant portion of the
nation. The June content will focus on
economic issues and events and the
August issue will have health-focused
content.
Data collected in the Household Pulse
Survey demonstrate the ability to
quickly collect and disseminate highfrequency data products that inform the
public in urgent circumstances. Data
products will include public-use data
files and detailed data tables, which can
be used by federal, state, and local
agencies; academic and non-government
organizations; the media; and the
public.
It is the Department’s intention to
commence data collection using the
revised instruments on or about June 17,
2025, and August 19, 2025. We invite
the general public and other Federal
agencies to comment on proposed and
continuing information collections,
which helps us assess the impact of our
information collection requirements and
minimize the public’s reporting burden.
Public comments were previously
requested via publication to the Federal
Register on December 9, 2024, and
February 28, 2025 (OMB No. 0607–
1029) during a 30-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.

Survey is a probability-based
nationwide nationally representative
survey panel designed to test methods
to collect data on a variety of topics of
interest, and for conducting
experimentation on alternative question
wording and methodological
approaches. The goal of the HTOPS is
to ensure availability of frequent data
collection for nationwide estimates on a
variety of topics and a variety of
subgroups of the population, meeting
standards for transparent quality
reporting of the Federal Statistical
Agencies and the Office of Management
and Budget.
Panelists and households selected for
the HTOPS were recruited from the
Census Bureau’s gold standard Master
Address File. This ensures that HTOPS
is rooted in this rigorously developed
and maintained frame and available for
linkage to administrative records
securely maintained and curated by the
Census Bureau. Invitations to complete
the monthly surveys will be sent via
email and SMS messages.
Questionnaires will be mainly internet
self-response. The HTOPS will maintain
representativeness by allowing
respondents who do not use the internet
to respond via computer-assisted
telephone interviewing (CATI). All
panelists will receive an incentive for
each complete questionnaire. Periodic
replenishment samples will maintain
representativeness and panelists will be
replaced after a period of three years.
Affected Public: Households.
Frequency: Monthly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, United
States Code, sections 141, 182 and 193.
