Information Collection Activities,
Comment Request
Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Department of Labor.
AGENCY:
Notice of information collection;
request for comment.
ACTION:
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed extension of
the Quarterly Census of Employment
and Wages Program. A copy of the
proposed information collection request
can be obtained by contacting the
individual listed below in the Addresses
section of this notice.
SUMMARY:
Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before October 2, 2017.
DATES:
Send comments to Carol
Rowan, BLS Clearance Officer, Division
of Management Systems, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2
Massachusetts Avenue NE.,
Washington, DC 20212. Written
comments also may be transmitted by
fax to 202–691–5111 (this is not a toll

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
I. Background
The Quarterly Census of Employment
and Wages (QCEW) program, a Federal/
State cooperative effort, produces
monthly employment and quarterly
wage information. It is a by-product of
quarterly reports submitted to State
Workforce Agencies (SWAs) by
employers subject to State
Unemployment Insurance (UI) laws.
The collection of these data is
authorized by 29 U.S.C. 1, 2. The QCEW
data, which are compiled for each
calendar quarter, provide a
comprehensive business name and
address file with employment and wage
information for employers subject to
State UI laws. Similar data for Federal
Government employers covered by the
Unemployment Compensation for
Federal Employees program also are
included. These data are submitted to
the BLS by all 50 States, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands. The BLS summarizes these data
to produce totals for all counties,
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs),
the States, and the nation. The QCEW
program provides a virtual census of
nonagricultural employees and their
wages, with about 44 percent of the
workers in agriculture covered as well.
The QCEW program is a
comprehensive and accurate source of
data on the number of establishments,
monthly employment, and quarterly
wages, by industry, at the six-digit
North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) level, and at the
national, State, MSA, and county levels.
The QCEW series has broad economic
significance in measuring labor trends
and major industry developments, in
time series analyses and industry
comparisons, and in special studies
such as analyses of establishments,
employment, and wages by size of
establishment.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
Quarterly Census of Employment and
Wages (QCEW) program.
The QCEW program is the only
Federal statistical program that provides
information on establishments, wages,
tax contributions and the number of
employees subject to State UI laws and
the Unemployment Compensation for
the Federal Employees program. The
consequences of not collecting QCEW
data would be grave to the Federal
statistical community. The BLS would
not have a sampling frame for its
establishment surveys; it would not be
able to publish as accurate current
estimates of employment for the U.S.
PO 00000
Frm 00083
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990

States, and metropolitan areas; and it
would not be able to publish quarterly
census totals of local establishment
counts, employment, and wages. The
Bureau of Economic Analysis would not
be able to publish as accurate personal
income data in a timely manner for the
U.S., States, and local areas. Finally, the
Department of Labor’s Employment
Training Administration would not
have the information it needs to
administer the Unemployment
Insurance Program.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Title of Collection: Quarterly Census
of Employment and Wages (QCEW)
Program.
OMB Number: 1220–0012.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: State Governments.
Total Respondents: 53.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Total Responses: 212.
Average Time per Response: 4,200
hours.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
890,400 hours.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they also
will become a matter of public record.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th day of
July 2017.
Kimberley Hill,
Chief, Division of Management Systems.
