The Department of Commerce received approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to conduct new phases of the Household Pulse Survey and the Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (HTOPS) in 2024. HTOPS is designed to collect frequent data on various topics from a nationally representative group. The data collection will involve internet and telephone responses, with incentives for participants, and aims to provide quick insights into national trends. Public comments on this information collection are invited within 30 days following the notice's publication.
