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
(QFR) Program.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0432.
Form Number(s): QFR–200(MT),
QFR–201(MG), QFR–300(S).
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 115,111.
Number of Respondents: 12,574.
Average Hours per Response: 2 hours
and 17 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 the
manufacturing, mining, wholesale trade,
retail trade, information, and
professional, scientific, and technical
services (except legal) sectors. 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.
The QFR is planning to expand the
scope of collection to include, along
with corporations currently surveyed,
additional service sectors. The
expanded collection will include the
real estate and rental and leasing (except

lessors of nonfinancial intangible
assets), administrative and support and
waste management and remediation
services, health care and social
assistance, and accommodation and
food services. We plan to begin
collecting data for these service sectors
beginning with the collection of data for
fourth quarter of 2012. Services
represent the largest block of industries
in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP),
about 55 percent of the economy. By
expanding into these four service
sectors, the QFR program can begin
providing statistics on the financial
results and position for important parts
of the economy for which no current
and systematically collected data are
now 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 the
QFR–300 (S) Long Form (services).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
Section 91.

Customs and Border Protection port of
