Abstract: The process for appealing 

decisions related to occupancy or use of 

National Forest System lands and

determine if the required information 

collected from appellants is necessary or 

if there are better ways to gather the 

information needed to process an 

appeal. The regulation at 36 CFR 214 

helps determine if an appealed decision 

should be affirmed or reversed in whole 

or in part. These appeal procedures are 

limited to holders, operators, and 

solicited applicants who, therefore, are 

the only individuals or entities subject 

to the information collection 

requirement.

invited on (1) whether this information 

collection is necessary for the stated 

purposes and the proper performance of 

the functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical or scientific utility; (2) the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the information collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the information collection on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses when provided, will be a 

matter of public record. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

request for Office of Management and

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

Review and Approval; Comment 

Request; Quarterly Survey of Public 

Pensions 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on June 24, 

2021 during a 60-day comment period. 

This notice allows for an additional 30 

days for public comments. 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, 

Commerce Department. 

Title: Quarterly Survey of Public 

Pensions. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0143. 

Form Number(s): F–10. 

Type of Request: Regular submission, 

Request for an Extension, without 

Change, of a Currently Approved 

Collection. 

Number of Respondents: 100. 

Average Hours per Response: 45 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 300. 

Needs and Uses: The Quarterly 

Survey of Public Pensions, provides a 

rich source of data on public retirement 

systems administered by state and local 

governments in the United States. Over 

4.6 trillion dollars in public pension 

assets in the financial markets are 

controlled by a small number of large 

retirement systems. The frame for the 

2012 Census of Governments identified 

3,992 public retirement systems 

administered by state and local 

governments and 5,529 were identified 

in the 2017 Census of Governments. The 

100 largest systems, as measured by the 

system assets, account for about 87.2 

percent of the total assets of all systems, 

based on the 2012 Census of 

Governments. The Quarterly Survey of 

Public Pensions is used to collect data 

on the revenues, expenditures, and 

composition of assets of the 100 largest 

defined benefit public employee 

pension systems for state and local 

governments. 

Currently, we are requesting approval 

to conduct the 2022, 2023 and 2024 

Quarterly Survey of Public Pensions. 

This survey was initiated in 1968 at 

the request of both the Council of 

Economic Advisers and the Federal 

Reserve Board. The most important 

information this survey provides is the 

quarterly change in composition of the 

securities holdings of the defined 

benefit public employee retirement 

systems component of the economy. 

The Federal Reserve Board uses these 

data to track the public sector portion of 

the Flow of Funds Accounts. 

Additionally, the data are used by a 

variety of government officials, 

academics, students, and non-profit 

organizations to analyze trends in 

public employee retirement and the 

impact of retirement obligations on the 

fiscal well-being of state and local 

governments. 

The survey provides a focus on the 

asset composition of the largest systems. 

These data are already produced for 

existing internal and external needs, 

and most closely align with the needs of 

the Federal Reserve Board. 

Additionally, the related Annual Survey 

of Public Pensions (0607–0585) will 

continue to provide a robust collection 

of revenue and benefit data on a fiscal 

year basis. These data items are in 

demand on an annual basis and are 

already created for internal and external 

purposes by most systems as they are 

required items in Comprehensive 

Annual Financial Reports (CAFRs). 

Summary tables of the information 

collected are released quarterly on the 

internet. Documentation and 

explanatory materials are also available 

on the internet site here: https://

www.census.gov/programs-surveys/ 

qspp.html. 

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

government. 

Frequency: Quarterly. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

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

section 161 and 182. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. 

Follow the instructions to view the 

Department of Commerce collections 

currently under review by OMB. 

Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be
