DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Submission For OMB Review;

Comment Request

DOC has submitted 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: Bureau of the Census.

Title: Service Annual Survey.

Form Number(s): B–500T, B–500T1,

B–500T2, B–500T3, B–500T4, B–500T5,

B–500T6, B–500M, B–500M1, B–500M2,

B–500M3, B–500IT, B–500IM, B–900–

L1, B–900–L2, B–900–L3, B–900–L4.

Agency Approval Number: 0607–

0422.

Type of Request: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Burden: 13,200 hours.

Number of Respondents: 33,000.

Avg. Hours Per Response: 24 minutes

(over all forms).

Needs and Uses: The Service Annual

Survey (SAS) provides dollar volume

estimates of the total output of personal,

business, amusement, social, health,

and other professional services in the

United States. The Bureau of Economic

Analysis (BEA), the primary Federal

user, uses the information in developing

the national income and product

accounts, compiling benchmark and

annual input-output tables, and

computing gross domestic product by

industry. The Bureau of Labor Statistics

(BLS) uses the data as input to its

Producer Price Indexes and in

developing productivity measurements.

Other government agencies such as the

Health Care Financing Administration

(HCFA) use the data for program,

planning, and development. The Census

Bureau uses these data to provide new

insight into changing structural and cost

conditions that will directly impact the

planning and design of future economic

census questionnaires. Private industry

uses the data in planning and as a tool

for marketing analysis.

Data are collected from all of the

largest firms and from a sample of

small- and medium-sized businesses,

selected using a stratified random

sampling procedure. The SAS sample is

reselected periodically, generally at 5-

year intervals. The largest firms

continue to be canvassed when the

sample is re-drawn, while nearly all of

the small- and medium-sized firms from

the old sample are replaced.

In this request, the burden hours are

increasing due to the implementation of

a new sample drawn for the 1996

survey. We have also expanded

coverage to include School and

Educational Services (SIC 8299), not

elsewhere classified.

Affected Public: Businesses or other

for-profit organizations, Not-for-profit

institutions.

Frequency: Annually.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,

Sections 182, 224, and 225.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Submission For OMB Review;

Comment Request

DOC has submitted 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: Bureau of the Census.

Title: Single Audit Questionnaire.

Form Number(s): SAC–1.

Agency Approval Number: 0607–

0518.

Type of Request: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Burden: 4,166 hours.

Number of Respondents: 12,500.

Avg Hours Per Response: 20 minutes.

Needs and Uses: The Single Audit Act

Amendments of 1996 and OMB Circular

A–133 require state and local

governments and non-profit

organizations expending $300,000 or

more in Federal financial aid to have an

annual audit of their financial

operations. OMB has designated the

Census Bureau as the Federal Audit

Clearinghouse for these audits. We use

the Single Audit Questionnaire to

contact those entities that have not sent

in their audit reports to request that they

forward the report or clarify their

reporting status.

Under the Single Audit Act

Amendments of 1996 and OMB Circular

A–133, both state and local governments

and non-profit institutions are subject to

the same requirements. Therefore, it is

no longer necessary to maintain two

separate forms. We are dropping the

SAC–2, previously sent only to nonprofit institutions, and are revising

upward our estimate of the time

necessary to complete form SAC–1

based on the expanded usage of the

form.

Under the higher $300,000 reporting

threshold imposed by the Single Audit

Act Amendments of 1996, fewer entities

will be required to submit Single

Audits, thus the estimated number of

respondents has decreased since OMB

last approved this collection.

Periodically, we update information

for the Federal Inspector General’s

offices on governmental and non-profit

audits which have been completed or

are delinquent. A report listing
