Note: The designation ‘‘34/1 (English 20/1)

specifications for yarn in its greige condition

applicable) and before weaving, dyeing and 

finishing of the fabric. It is intended as a 

specification to be followed by the mill in 

sourcing yarn used to produce the fabric. 

Dyeing, finishing and weaving can alter the 

characteristic of the yarn as it appears in the

includes yarns appearing in the finished 

fabric as coarser than 34/1 (English 20/1)

solely as the result of such processes.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35). 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Government Employment 

Forms. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0452. 

Form Number(s): E–1, E–2, E–3, E–4, 

E–5, E–6, E–7, E–9. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden Hours: 13,985. 

Number of Respondents: 16,964. 

Average Hours per Response: 50 

minutes. 

Needs and Uses: This information 

collection request covers the 

questionnaires needed to conduct the 

public employment program for the 

2010 and 2011 Annual Survey of Public 

Employment & Payroll. 

The questionnaires for collecting the 

data are described below. There are 

eight survey forms used to collect data 

on government employment, pay, and 

hours. Since there are many different 

types and sizes of governments, each 

form is tailored to the unique 

characteristics of the type and size of 

government or government agency to be 

surveyed. 

E–1 State agencies, excluding state 

colleges and universities 

E–2 State colleges and universities 

E–3 Dependent agencies of local 

governments 

Single function special district 

governments 

E–4 County governments, Municipal 

and township governments with 

populations of 1,000 or more 

E–5 Municipalities and Townships (A 

shortened version of the E–4 form 

for Municipalities and Townships 

with a population of < 1,000) 

E–6 Elementary and secondary school 

systems 

Local government operated 

institutions of higher education 

E–7 Multifunction dependent agencies 

and fire protection agencies 

Multifunction special district 

governments 

E–9 State police 

County Sheriff departments 

The type of employment and pay data 

collected by the public employment 

program in the 2010 and 2011 Annual 

Survey of Public Employment & Payroll 

are identical to data collected in recent 

annual surveys of government 

employment. By State, the 2010 and 

2011 sample supports estimates of total 

local government employment and 

payrolls by type of government and 

government function. 

Statistics compiled from data gathered 

using these forms are used in several 

important Federal government 

programs. Economists at the Bureau of 

Economic Analysis (BEA) use the 

statistics in two ways for developing the 

National Income and Product Accounts. 

First, the employment data are used in 

developing price deflators for the 

government sector components of the 

gross domestic product accounts. 

Second, the employment and payroll 

data are used in developing the 

government sector components for the 

national and sub-national personal 

income accounts and tables. 

The regional BEA program uses the 

Census of Governments and the Annual 

Survey of Public Employment & Payroll 

to derive state-level estimates of the 

employment and wages and salaries of 

students and their spouses who are 

employed by public institutions of 

higher education in which the students 

are enrolled. There is no other national 

or state source for information on 

student workers at state institutions of 

higher education. 

The employment data are used for 

two other data collection efforts 

currently conducted by the Census 

Bureau. The Medical Expenditures 

Panel Survey (MEPS) collects data for 

the Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) on health plans offered 

to state and local government 

employees. The MEPS sample of public 

employees is drawn from the Census of 

Governments—Employment file. The 

Criminal Justice Employment and 

Expenditure Survey (CJEE) uses 

employment data to provide employee 

and payroll statistics on police 

protection and correctional activities. 

State and local government officials 

use these data to analyze and assess 

individual government labor force and 

wage levels. Both management and 

labor consult these data during wage 

and salary negotiations. 

Public interest groups of many types 

produce analyses of public sector 

activities using these data. User 

organizations representing state and 

local government include the Council of 

State Governments, National Conference 

of State Legislatures, Government 

Research Association, U.S. Conference 

of Mayors, National Association of 

Counties, National League of Cities, and 

the International City/County 

Management Association. A third 

category of users, having a more specific 

focus on government activities, includes 

organizations such as the Citizens 

Research Council of Michigan and the 

National Sheriffs Association. 

A variety of other organizations and 

individuals make use of these data. 

Notable research organizations include 

the Manhattan Institute for Policy 

Research, The Brookings Institution, 

and the Rockefeller Institute of 

Government. The instructors, 

researchers, and students in schools of 

public administration, political science, 

management, and industrial relations as 

well as other members of the public also 

use these data. 

Affected Public: State, local or Tribal 

Government. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13, Section 161, 

of the United States Code requires the 

Secretary of Commerce to conduct a 

census of governments every fifth year. 

Title 13, Section 182 of the United 

States Code allows the Secretary to 

conduct annual surveys in other years.
