SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau is planning to 

resubmit to the Office of Management 

and Budget for approval of the Quarterly 

Financial Report (QFR) program 

information collection forms. The QFR 

forms to be submitted for approval are: 

The QFR 200 (MT) long form 

(manufacturing, mining, wholesale 

trade, and retail trade); QFR 201 (MG) 

short form (manufacturing); and the 

QFR 300 (S) long form (information 

services and professional and technical 

services). The Census Bureau is not 

requesting any changes to the current 

forms. 

The QFR program collects and 

publishes up-to-date aggregate statistics 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
5206 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 18 / Friday, January 26, 2024 / Notices 

on the financial results and position of 

U.S. corporations. The QFR target 

population consists of all corporations 

engaged primarily in manufacturing 

with total assets of $5 million and over, 

and all corporations engaged primarily 

in mining; wholesale trade; retail trade; 

information; or professional and 

technical services (except legal services) 

industries with total assets of $50 

million and over. 

The QFR program is a principal 

federal economic indicator that has 

published up-to-date aggregate statistics 

on the financial results and position of 

U.S. corporations since 1947. The QFR 

provides critical source data to the 

Bureau of Economic Analysis’ (BEA) 

quarterly estimates of Gross Domestic 

Product (GDP) and Gross Domestic 

Income (GDI), key components of the 

National Income and Product Accounts 

(NIPA). The QFR data are also vital to 

the Federal Reserve Board’s (FRB) 

Financial Accounts. Title 13 of the 

United States Code, Section 91 requires 

that financial statistics of business 

operations be collected and published 

quarterly. Public Law 114–72 extended 

the authority of the Secretary of 

Commerce to conduct the QFR Program 

under Section 91 through September 30, 

2030. 

The main purpose of the QFR is to 

provide timely, accurate data on 

business financial conditions for use by 

government and private-sector 

organizations and individuals. Primary 

public users include U.S. governmental 

organizations with economic 

measurement and policymaking 

responsibilities such as the Bureau of 

Economic Analysis, the Bureau of Labor 

Statistic, and the Federal Reserve Board. 

In turn, these organizations provide 

guidance, advice, and support to the 

QFR program. The primary nongovernmental data users are a diverse 

group including universities, financial 

analysts, unions, trade associations, 

public libraries, banking institutions, 

and U.S. and foreign corporations. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Census Bureau uses two forms of 

data collection: mail out/mail back 

paper survey forms and a secure 

encrypted internet data collection 

system called Centurion. Centurion has 

automatic data checks and is contextsensitive to assist respondents in 

identifying potential reporting problems 

before submission, thus reducing the 

need for follow-up from Census Bureau 

staff. Data collection through Centurion 

is completed via the internet, 

eliminating the need for downloading 

software and ensuring the integrity and 

confidentiality of the data. 

Companies are asked to respond to 

the survey within 25 days of the end of 

the quarter for which the data is being 

requested. Census Bureau staff contact 

companies that have not responded by 

the designated time through letters, 

telephone calls, and/or email to 

encourage participation. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0432. 

Form Number(s): QFR 200 (MT), QFR 

201 (MG), and QFR 300 (S).

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 82,800 hours.

Public: $0. (This is not the cost of 

respondents’ time, but the indirect costs 

respondents may incur for such things 

as purchases of specialized software or 

hardware needed to report, or 

expenditures for accounting or records 

maintenance services required 

specifically by the collection.) 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 91 

and 224. 

IV. Request for Comments 

We are soliciting public comments to 

permit the Department/Bureau to: (a) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the 

accuracy of our estimate of the time and 

cost burden for this proposed collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) Minimize the 

reporting burden on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include, or 

summarize, each comment in our 

request to OMB to approve this ICR. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you may ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
