Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 21, 2023 / Notices 81041 

OMB Control Number: 0560–0265. 

Summary of Collection: The Core 

Customer Data is required in order to 

identify USDA program participants 

who are individual persons and legal 

entities and is necessary to ensure that 

benefits are issued to the correct 

customer and valid Tax Identification 

Numbers. Also, the customers can be 

validated and also to provide a 

necessary basis for pursuing legal 

remedies in the event of error or fraud. 

There is no public law regarding the use 

or collection of Core Customer Data. The 

option to document and track Core 

Customer Data changes is necessary to 

ensure the integrity of the data and to 

provide the Farm Service Agency (FSA), 

Natural Resources and Conservation 

Service and Rural Development (RD, 

Risk Management Agency (RMA), and 

Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), a 

method of verifying the validity of the 

information, and provide a necessary 

basis for pursuing legal remedies when 

needed. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Core Customer Data is necessary to 

input customer information for identity 

purposes and to provide a point of 

contact for the respective customer and 

a valid Tax Identification Number to 

direct program benefits to. The form 

(AD–2047) will be used to document 

Corel Customer Data changes and also to 

provide a method to identify who made 

applicable changes and when this was 

done. Failure to collect and timely 

maintain the data collected will result 

in erroneous or outdated point of 

contact information, which could result 

in program information and benefits 

being directed to incorrect recipients. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals or households. 

Number of Respondents: 161,250. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Other (when necessary). 

Total Burden Hours: 8,063.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request 

an extension of the clearance for the 

Annual Survey of Public Employment & 

Payroll and the Annual Survey of State 

and Local Government Finances. There 

are no proposed changes since the last 

approved clearance. The Annual Survey 

of Public Employment & Payroll collects 

state and local government data by 

function for full-time and part-time 

employees and payroll. The Annual 

Survey of State and Local Government 

Finances collect state and local 

government finance data including 

government revenue, expenditure, debt, 

assets, and pension systems. Data are 

collected for all agencies, departments, 

and institutions of the fifty state 

governments and for a sample of all 

local governments (counties, 

municipalities, townships, and special 

districts). Data for school districts are 

collected under a separate survey and 

are not included here. 

In years ending with 2 and 7 this 

collection is conducted as a part of the 

Census of Governments. There is no 

difference in content collected between 

a Census of Governments year and nonCensus year. The only difference is that 

in non-Census years, we only collect 

from a sample of the universe of state 

and local governments, whereas during 

a Census of Governments year the entire 

universe is collected. The upcoming 

three years of this clearance extension 

will cover the collections for fiscal years 

of 2023, 2024, and 2025, all of which are 

non-Census years. 

The data are released as part of the 

State and Local Government Finance 

and Public Employment & Payroll 

statistical series. The collections also 

produce individual data products that 

focus on state governments, local 

governments, and public pensions in 

greater detail than the combined 

financial and employment series as a 

by-product of their collections for the 

combined data series. The Census 

Bureau provides these data to the 

Bureau of Economic Analysis to develop 

the public sector components of the 

National Income and Product Accounts 

and for constructing the functional 

payrolls in the public sector of the Gross 

Domestic Product, payroll being the 

single largest component of current 

operations. The Census Bureau also 

provides these data to the Federal 

Reserve Board for use in the Flow of 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
81042 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 21, 2023 / Notices 

Funds Accounts. Other Federal agencies 

that make use of the data include the 

Council of Economic Advisers, the 

Agency for Healthcare Research and 

Quality, the Government Accountability 

Office, and the Department of Justice. 

State and local governments and related 

organizations, public policy groups, 

public interest groups, private research 

organizations, and private sector 

businesses also use these data. 

Statistics are produced as data files in 

electronic formats published to the 

Census website. 

II. Method of Collection 

These surveys use multiple modes for 

data collection with the main collection 

method being internet data collection 

with a mailed invitation, followed by 

email, mail, and telephone follow-ups. 

Other methods used to collect data and 

maximize response include collecting 

state and local government data through 

administrative records such as 

submitted financial audits, state 

financial reports, and annual 

comprehensive financial reports via 

electronic or mailed files and/or 

records. 

The Census Bureau developed central 

collection agreements with state and 

large local government officials to 

collect the data from their dependent 

agencies and report to the Census 

Bureau as a central respondent. These 

arrangements eliminate the need for a 

mail invitation for approximately 5,900 

governmental units in a sample year and 

32,000 during the year of the Census of 

Governments. The arrangements reduce 

burden by greatly decreasing the 

number of respondents who must 

complete an on-line response as the data 

are acquired from a centralized source 

instead of multiple sources.
