The National Marine Fisheries Service

an endangered short-tailed albatross is 

hooked or entangled during fishing 

operations. Following the retrieval of 

the seabird from the ocean, as required

the condition of the injured short-tailed 

albatross on a recovery data form. The

veterinarian in providing advice to the 

captain caring for the short-tailed 

albatross. If the albatross is dead, the 

captain must attach an identification tag 

to the carcass to assist the United States 

Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) 

biologists in follow-up studies on the 

specimen. This collection is one of the 

terms and conditions contained in the 

biological opinion issued by USFWS,

I. Abstract 

The Quarterly Services Survey (QSS) 

covers employer firms with 

establishments located in the United 

States and classified in select service 

industries as defined by the North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS). The QSS coverage 

currently includes all or parts of the 

following NAICS sectors: Utilities 

(excluding government owned); 

transportation and warehousing (except 

rail transportation and postal) services; 

information; finance and insurance 

(except funds, trusts, and other financial 

vehicles); real estate and rental and 

leasing; professional, scientific, and 

technical services; administrative and 

support and waste management and 

remediation services; educational 

services (except elementary and 

secondary schools, junior colleges, and 

colleges, universities, and professional 

schools); health care and social 

assistance; arts, entertainment, and 

recreation; and other services (except 

public administration). The primary 

estimates produced from the QSS are 

quarterly estimates of total operating 

revenue and the percentage of revenue 

by source. The survey also produces 

estimates of total operating expenses

have a large not-for-profit component. In
