SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

QCEW program is implementing 

improvements to the methods used to 

impute data for missing employer 

reports starting in October 2020. The 

current method of imputation estimates 

the current month’s employment or 

current quarterly wages by applying the 

change from a year earlier to the 

previous month’s reported employment 

and/or quarterly wages. A drawback to 

this procedure is that it uses the data 

from a year earlier, which may not 

reflect current economic conditions. 

BLS anticipates that the number of 

nonresponding employers will be 

substantially higher than usual in the 

second quarter of 2020, as a result of the 

business response to the coronavirus 

(COVID–19) pandemic. Existing 

imputation methods would likely 

understate the impact of the pandemic 

on the U.S. economy. BLS has 

conducted research on improvements to 

its imputation methodology and will 

implement these improvements with the 

first release of data for the second 

quarter of 2020. The QCEW program is 

the only Federal statistical program that 

provides information on establishments, 

wages, tax contributions and the 

number of employees subject to State UI 

laws and the Unemployment 

Compensation for the Federal 

Employees program. The consequences 

of not collecting QCEW data would be 

grave to the Federal statistical 

community. The BLS would not have a 

sampling frame for its establishment 

surveys; it would not be able to publish 

as accurate current estimates of 

employment for the U.S., States, and 

metropolitan areas; and it would not be 

able to publish quarterly census totals of 

local establishment counts, 

employment, and wages. The Bureau of 

Economic Analysis would not be able to 

publish as accurate personal income 

data in a timely manner for the U.S., 

States, and local areas. Finally, the 

Department of Labor’s Employment 

Training Administration would not 

have the information it needs to 

administer the Unemployment 

Insurance Program.

Title: Liquidity and Contingency 

Funding Plans, 12 CFR 741.12. 

Abstract: The 2008 financial crisis 

demonstrated the importance of good 

liquidity risk management to the safety 

and soundness of financial institutions. 

In conjunction with the OCC, FRB, 

FDIC, and Conference of State Bank 

Supervisors (CSBS), adopted the 

Interagency Policy Statement on 

Funding and Liquidity Risk 

Management in March of 2010. 

In October 2013, to clarify NCUA’s 

expectation on the Interagency Policy 

Statement and to reduce the regulatory 

burden on small credit unions, NCUA 

codified the requirements for Liquidity 

and Contingency Funding Plans as 

§ 741.12. The rule establishes a threeVerDate Sep<11>2014 17:27 Feb 11, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\12FEN1.SGM 12FEN1
