Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit 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: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Government Employment
Forms.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0452.
Form Number(s): E–1, E–2, E–3, E–4,
E–5, E–6, E–7, E–9.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 14,733.
Number of Respondents: 18,160.
Average Hours Per Response: 49
minutes.
Needs and Uses: This information
collection request covers the
questionnaires needed to conduct the
public employment program for the
2008 and 2009 Annual Survey of
Government Employment.
The questionnaires for collecting the
data are described below. There are
eight survey forms used to collect data
on government employment, pay, and
hours. Since there are many different
types and sizes of governments, each
form is tailored to the unique
characteristics of the type and size of
government or government agency to be
surveyed.
E–1 State agencies, excluding state
colleges and universities
E–2 State colleges and universities
E–3 Dependent agencies of local
governments, Single function
special district governments
E–4 County governments, Municipal
and township governments with
populations of 1,000 or more
E–5 Municipalities and Townships (A
shortened version of the E–4 form
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:35 Dec 07, 2007
Jkt 214001
to be completed by Municipalities
and Townships with a population
of < 1,000)
E–6 Elementary and secondary school
systems, Local government operated
institutions of higher education
E–7 Multifunction dependent agencies
and fire protection agencies,
Multifunction special district
governments
E–9 State police, County Sheriff
departments
The type of employment and pay data
collected by the public employment
program in the 2008 and 2009 Annual
Survey of Government Employment is
identical to data collected in recent
annual surveys of government
employment. By state, the 2008 and
2009 Employment sample supports
estimates of total local government
employment and payrolls by type of
government and government function.
Statistics compiled from data gathered
using these forms are used in several
important Federal government
programs. Economists at the Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA) use the
statistics in two ways for developing the
National Income and Product Accounts.
First, the employment data are used in
developing price deflators for the
government sector components of the
gross domestic product accounts.
Secondly, the employment and payroll
data are used in developing the
government sector components for the
national and sub-national personal
income accounts and tables.
The regional BEA program uses the
Census of governments and the Annual
Survey of Government Employment to
derive state-level estimates of the
employment and wages and salaries of
students and their spouses who are
employed by public institutions of
higher education in which the students
are enrolled. There is no other national
or state source for information on
student workers at state institutions of
higher education.
The Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) determines
the allocation of operating subsidies to
local housing authorities based on these
survey data. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) used these data in its
benchmarking procedures for state and
local government components of the
BLS monthly employment and earnings
statistics.
The employment data are used for
two other data collection efforts
currently conducted by the Census
Bureau. The Medical Expenditures
Panel Survey (MEPS) collects data for
the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) on health plans offered
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
to state and local government
employees. The MEPS sample of public
employees is drawn from the Census of
Governments Employment file. The
Criminal Justice Employment and
Expenditure Survey (CJEE) uses
employment data to provide employee
and payroll statistics on police
protection and correctional activities.
State and local government officials
use these data to analyze and assess
individual government labor force and
wage levels. Both management and
labor consult these data during wage
and salary negotiations.
Public interest groups of many types
produce analyses of public sector
activities using these data. User
organizations representing state and
local government include the Council of
State Governments, National Conference
of State Legislatures, Government
Research Association, Conference of
Mayors, National Association of
Counties, National League of Cities, and
the International City/County
Management Association. A third
category, having a more specific focus
on government activities, includes
organizations such as the Tax
Foundation, Michigan Taxpayers
Association, National Sheriffs
Association, and the Government
Research Association.
A variety of other organizations and
individuals make use of these data.
Notable research organizations include
the American Enterprise Institute, The
Brookings Institution, the Rand
Corporation, the Cato Institute, the
Hudson Institute, and the Rockefeller
Institute of Government. The
instructors, researchers, and students in
schools of public administration,
political science, management, and
industrial relations as well as other
members of the public also use these
data.
Affected Public: State, local or Tribal
government.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
Sections 161 and 182.
