SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request 

clearance for the form necessary to 

conduct the Quarterly Survey of Public 

Pensions. The quarterly survey was 

initiated by the Census Bureau in 1968 

at the request of both the Council of 

Economic Advisers and the Federal 

Reserve Board. 

The Quarterly Survey of Public 

Pensions currently provides national 

summary data on the revenues, 

expenditures, and composition of assets 

of the largest pension systems of state 

and local governments. The Census 

Bureau plans to cease collection of 

revenue and expenditure data on a 

quarterly basis and focus the collection 

on asset holdings of the largest pension 

systems. Revenue and Expenditure data 

will continue to be provided on an 

annual basis through the related Annual 

Survey of Public Pensions. 

These data are used by the Federal 

Reserve Board to track the public sector 

portion of the Flow of Funds Accounts. 

Economists and public policy analysts 

use these data to assess general 

economic conditions and state and local 

government financial activities. 

Data are collected from a panel of 

defined benefit plans of the 100 largest 

state and local government pension 

systems as determined by their total 

cash and security holdings reported in 

the 2012 Census of Governments. The 

defined benefit plans of these 100 

largest pension systems comprise 87.2 

percent of financial activity among such 

entities, based on the 2012 Census of 

Governments. 

II. Method of Collection 

Survey data are collected through the 

Census Bureau’s web collection system 

that enables public entities to respond 

to the questionnaire via the internet. 

The questionnaire is available online for 

respondents to print when they choose 

to mail or fax. Most respondents choose 

to report their data online. In addition 

to reporting current quarter data, 

respondents may provide initial data for 

the previous seven quarters or submit 

revisions to their data submitted in the 

previous seven quarters.
