DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
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: Quarterly Financial Report.
Form Number(s): QFR–200(MT),
QFR–300(S), QFR–201(MG).
OMB Control Number: 0607–0432.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 92,268.
Number of Respondents: 10,707.
Average Hours per Response: 2 hours
and 9 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The QFR program
has published up-to-date aggregate
statistics on the financial results and
position of U.S. corporations since 1947.
The program currently collects and
publishes financial data for
manufacturing, mining, wholesale and
retail trade corporations. The survey is
a principal economic indicator that
provides financial data essential to
calculation of key U.S. government
measures of national economic
performance. The importance of this
data collection is reflected by the
granting of specific authority to conduct
the program in Title 13 of the United
States Code, section 91, which requires
that financial statistics of business
operations be collected and published
quarterly. Public Law 109–79, section
91 extended the authority of the
Secretary of Commerce to conduct the
QFR program through September 30,
2015.
This request is for a revision of the
currently approved collection. The
change from the previous QFR
authorization is to collect data for
selected services industries beginning
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
with data for the third quarter of 2009.
The proposed expansion includes all 3digit industries in the Information
sector, and all 4-digit industries, with
the exception of legal services, in the
Professional, Scientific, and Technical
Services sector. The services sector is
the largest sector in the Gross Domestic
Product (GDP), representing about 55
percent of the economy. By expanding
to selected service industries, the QFR
program can begin providing statistics
on the financial results and position for
important parts of the services sector for
which no data are currently available.
The survey forms used to conduct the
QFR are: QFR–200 (MT) Long Form
(manufacturing, mining, wholesale
trade, and retail trade); QFR–201 (MG)
Short Form (manufacturing); and a new
form, QFR–300 (S) Long Form
(services). The QFR–200 (MT) and QFR–
201 (MG) have been updated to improve
usability for respondents.
The primary purpose of the QFR is to
provide timely, accurate data on
business financial conditions for use by
Government and private-sector
organizations and individuals.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
section 91; Public Law 109–79, section
91.
OMB Desk Officer: Brian HarrisKojetin, (202) 395–7314.

within 30 days of publication of this
notice to Brian Harris-Kojetin, OMB
Desk Officer either by fax (202–395–
7245) or e-mail (bharrisk@omb.eop.gov).
