Review and Approval; Comment 

Request; Service Annual Survey 

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 September 

21, 2020 during a 60-day comment 

period. This notice allows for an 

additional 30 days for public comments. 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Service Annual Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0422. 

Form Number(s): There are 91 

individual forms, too numerous to list 

here. 

Type of Request: Regular submission, 

Request for a Revision of a Currently 

Approved Collection. 

Number of Respondents: 93,722. 

Average Hours per Response: 1.5305. 

Burden Hours: 143,437. 

Needs and Uses: Over 50 percent of 

all economic activity is generated by 

businesses in the services sectors, 

defined to exclude retail and wholesale 

trade. The U.S. Census Bureau currently 

measures the total output of most of the 

service industries annually in the 

Service Annual Survey (SAS). This 

survey currently covers all or portions 

of: Utilities; Transportation and 

Warehousing; Information; Finance and 

Insurance; Real Estate and Rental and 

Leasing; Professional, Scientific, and 

Technical Services; Administrative and 

Support and Waste Management and 

Remediation Services; Educational 

Services; Health Care and Social 

Assistance; Arts, Entertainment, and 

Recreation; Accommodation and Food 

Services; and Other Services (except 

Public Administration) as defined by 

the North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS). The SAS 

provides the only official source of 

annual revenue estimates for the service 

industries. 

Estimates from the SAS are essential 

to measurement of economic growth, 

real output, prices, and productivity for 

our nation’s economy. A broad 

spectrum of government and private 

stakeholders use these estimates in 

analyzing economic activity; forecasting 

economic growth; and compiling data 

on productivity, prices and the gross 

domestic product (GDP). In addition, 

trade and professional organizations use 

these estimates to analyze industry 

trends, benchmark their own statistical 

products and develop forecasts. Private 

businesses use these estimates to 

measure market share, analyze business 

potential, and plan investments. 

Collected data include operating 

revenue for both taxable and tax-exempt 

firms and organizations, sources of 

revenue and expenses by type for 

selected industries, operating expenses, 

and selected industry-specific items. In 

addition, e-commerce data is collected 

for all industries, and export and 

inventory data are collected for selected 

industries. The availability of these data 

greatly improves the quality of the 

intermediate inputs and value-added 

estimates in the annual input-output 

and GDP by industry accounts produced 

by the Bureau of Economic Analysis 

(BEA). 

Beginning in survey year 2020, the 

operating expenses content on all SAS 

questionnaires will change to a version 

that will be used in Economic Census 

years and non-Economic Census years. 

This change will aid in creating a 

consistent survey experience for 

respondents from year to year and better 

meet the needs of our data users. The 

proposed expense questions are shown 

in Attachment 2. This spreadsheet 

shows the different versions of the 

expense questions that will appear on 

each SAS form variation. 

Minor changes will also be made to 

various forms to increase clarity of what 

is being asked of respondents (e.g., 

improving instructions or removing 

parts of a question), improve the quality 

of data the Census Bureau receives, and 

further reduce respondent burden. 

To improve data quality, harmonize 

survey content, and reduce respondent 

burden, the Service Annual Survey will 

alter a question asking about 

organizational change within a 

company. This question appears as 

question 3 for respondents in all 

industries SAS covers. The question 

inquires about any organizational 

changes a company experienced during 

the given year and currently refers to 

acquisitions, mergers, sales, and 

divestitures. The revision will alter the 

question text to include instances where 

a company ceased operations and would 

add ‘‘ceased operation’’ as an answer 

choice. This change would provide 

additional information about a 

company’s activity in a given year, 

having the potential to improve data 

quality. Additionally, the revision 

would synchronize SAS content with 

the relevant questions on the Annual 

Retail Trade Survey (ARTS) and the 

Annual Wholesale Trade Survey 

(AWTS), making the surveys more 

consistent for respondents. 

In addition, with the increased use of 

telemedicine services during this public 

health emergency, the Service Annual 

Survey proposes expanding the scope of 

questions on telemedicine beyond 

ambulatory health care providers to 

include hospitals and nursing homes. 

Telemedicine is an important mode of

Expanding the collection of data on

measurement on changes in its adoption 

during this unprecedented public health 

emergency. SAS currently asks 

ambulatory health care providers 

(NAICS 621) about telemedicine 

services in relation to patient visits. 

This proposal will add a question about 

revenues from telemedicine services for 

hospitals (NAICS 622) and nursing 

homes (NAICS 623). Furthermore, to 

standardize content across industries 

and provide consistency for 

respondents, the current telemedicine 

question asked of the ambulatory health 

care providers would be revised to 

match the question being added to the 

other industries.
