SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request
clearance for the collection tools
necessary to conduct the public
employment and payroll program,
which consists of an annual collection
of information. During the upcoming
three years, we intend to conduct the
2019 Annual Survey of Public
Employment & Payroll, the 2020 Annual
Survey of Public Employment & Payroll,
and the 2021 Annual Survey of Public
Employment & Payroll.
Under Title 13, Sections 161 and 182,
of the United States Code, the Secretary
of Commerce is authorized to conduct
the public employment and payroll
program, which collects and
disseminates state and local government
data by function for full-time and parttime employees, payroll, and number of
part-time hours worked.
The burden hours we will request are
based on the expected 2019, 2020 and
2021 Annual Survey of Public
Employment & Payroll collection from
16,357 respondents for each survey
year. In addition, burden hours include
data received via data arrangements,
which are explained in further detail
within the method of collection section.
The state and local government
statistics produced cover national, state,
and local aggregates on various
functions with comparative detail for
individual governments for the pay
period that includes March 12.
The Census Bureau provides these
employment data to the Bureau of
Economic Analysis for constructing the
functional payrolls in the public sector
of the Gross Domestic Product; payroll
being the single largest component of
current operations. The public
employment and payroll program has
increasingly been used as the base for
reimbursable programs conducted by
the Census Bureau for other Federal
agencies such as: (1) The government
portion of the Medical Expenditure
Panel Survey commissioned by the
Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality to provide timely,
PO 00000
Frm 00003

comprehensive information about
health care use and costs in the United
States, and (2) the Criminal Justice
Expenditure and Employment Survey,
sponsored by the Bureau of Justice
Statistics (BJS), which provides criminal
justice expenditure and employment
data on spending and personnel levels.
Statistics are produced as data files in
electronic formats. The program has
disseminated comprehensive and
comparable governmental statistics
since 1940. The users of the public
employment and payroll program data
include Federal agencies, state and local
governments and related organizations,
public interest groups, and many
business, market, and private research
organizations
II. Method of Collection
An estimated 20,231 state agencies,
county governments, consolidated citycounty governments, independent
cities, towns, townships, special district
governments, and public school systems
designated for the 2019, 2020 or 2021
Annual Survey of Public Employment &
Payroll will be sent a mailed invitation
for internet collection or their data will
be collected through a data sharing
arrangement between the Census Bureau
and the governmental unit.
The Census Bureau developed central
collection arrangements with state and
large local government officials to
collect the data from their dependent
agencies and report to the Census
Bureau as a central respondent. Based
on the 2017 Census of Governments,
Survey of Public Employment & Payroll,
these arrangements eliminate the need
to individually canvass approximately
3,716 state agencies and 158 school
systems. The arrangements reduce
burden by greatly reducing the number
of people who have to complete an online form as the data are acquired from
a centralized source instead of from
multiple sources. Currently, the Census
Bureau has central collection
arrangements with forty-six states and
four local school district governments.
