DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Census Bureau
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; State and Local Government Finance and Public Employment and
Payroll Forms
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. 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 the
Federal Register on November 21, 2023 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce.
Title: State and Local Government Finance and Public Employment and
Payroll Forms.
OMB Control Number: 0607-0585.
Form Number(s): E-1,E-2,E-3,E-4,E-5,E-6,E-7,E-8,E-9,E-10,F-5,F-
11,F-12,F-13,F-28,F-29,F-32.
Type of Request: Regular submission, request for an extension,
without change, of a currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 29,609.
Average Hours per Response: 1 hour and 50 minutes.
Burden Hours: 54,306.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau is requesting extension of the
clearance for the Annual Survey of Public Employment & Payroll and the
Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances. The Annual Survey
of Public Employment & Payroll collects State and local government data
by function for full-time and part-time employees and payroll. The
Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances collect State and
local government finance data including government revenue,
expenditure, debt, assets, and pension systems. Data are collected for
all agencies, departments, and institutions of the fifty State
governments and for a sample of all local governments (counties,
municipalities, townships, and special districts). Data for school
districts are collected under a separate survey and are not included
here.
In years ending with 2 and 7 this collection is conducted as a part
of the Census of Governments. There is no difference in content
collected between a Census of Governments year and non-Census year. The
only difference is that in non-Census years, we only collect from a
sample of the universe of State and local governments, whereas during a
Census of Governments year the entire universe is collected. The
upcoming three years of this clearance extension will cover the
collections for fiscal years of 2023, 2024, and 2025, all of which are
non-Census years.
The data are released as part of the State and Local Government
Finance and Public Employment & Payroll statistical series. The
collections also produce individual data products that focus on State
governments, local governments, and public pensions in greater detail
than the combined financial and employment series as a by-product of
their collections for the combined data series. The Census Bureau
provides these data to the Bureau of Economic Analysis to develop the
public sector components of the National Income and Product Accounts
and for constructing the functional payrolls in the public sector of
the Gross Domestic Product, payroll being the single largest component
of current operations. The Census Bureau also provides these data to
the Federal Reserve Board for use in the Flow of Funds Accounts. Other
Federal agencies that make use of the data include the Council of
Economic Advisers, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the
Government Accountability Office, and the Department of Justice. State
and local governments and related organizations, public policy groups,
public interest groups, private research organizations, and private
sector businesses also use these data.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Sections 161 and 182.
