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. 

For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on October 9, 2020 (85 FR 

64167). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless the OMB 

approves it and displays a currently 

valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review.
