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.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Business and Professional
Classification Report.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0189.
Form Number(s): SQ–CLASS.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 57,000.
Average Hours per Response: 13
minutes.
Burden Hours: 12,350.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
continued clearance of the Business and
Professional Classification Report (SQ–
CLASS). The primary purpose of SQ–
CLASS Report is to meet the ongoing
sample needs of the Census Bureau’s
various surveys of the retail trade,
wholesale trade, and services portions
of the economy (our current business
surveys) as defined by the North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS). The data collected by
the SQ–CLASS report are used to
update the samples in our current
business surveys to reflect newly
opened establishments. Additionally,
establishments in the five-year
economic census will receive data
collection instruments specifically
tailored to their industry based on the
classification information obtained by
the SQ–CLASS report.
To keep current with rapid changes in
the marketplace caused by new
businesses (a.k.a. births) the Census
Bureau samples newly assigned
Employer Identification Numbers (EINs)
obtained from the Internal Revenue
Service. Each EIN can only be selected
once for the SQ–CLASS report.
Companies are selected for the SQ–
CLASS sample based on the presence of
a newly filed application for an EIN.
Companies in the sample are asked to
provide data about the establishment(s)
associated with the new EIN including
a more reliable measure of size,
consisting of sales in two recent months,

company affiliation information, a new
or more detailed industry classification
code, and other key information needed
to maintain proper coverage of the
business universe on the Business
Register for the current business
surveys.
Based on information collected on the
SQ–CLASS form, EINs meeting the
criteria for inclusion in the Census
Bureau’s current business surveys may
be eligible for a second phase of
sampling. Companies with new EINs
selected in this second sampling are
asked to report annually on the annual
retail, wholesale, and service surveys. A
subsample of the wholesale and retail
EINs also may be added to the monthly
retail and wholesale surveys. Similarly,
a subsample of companies with new
EINs in the service industries are asked
to report in the quarterly services
surveys.
The Economic Census and the current
business surveys represent the primary
source of facts about the structure and
function of the U.S. economy, providing
essential information to government and
the business community in making
sound decisions. This information helps
build the foundation for the calculation
of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and
other economic indicators. Crucial to its
success are the accuracy and reliability
of the Business Register, which provides
the Economic Census and current
business surveys with their
establishment lists. Critical to the
quality of information housed in the
Business Register is that each of the
statistical units has an accurate industry
classification, measure of size, activity
status, and physical address assigned to
it. The vital information obtained from
the SQ–CLASS report is fed back to the
Business Register to represent changes
in industries and confirm coverage
between the years of the Economic
Census.
We are not proposing any major
changes to the collection. Minimal
changes are being made to the economic
activity descriptions in the primary
business activity question on the SQ–
CLASS report. These changes include
providing additional examples of
activities included in a specific
economic sector. Respondents will
continue to choose the economic sector
of their business and then select their
type of business from a list of business
activities based on their response to the
question about their economic sector.
These selections correspond to NAICS
codes, which are then assigned to each
business establishment. If the
respondents do not see their business

activity listed, then they will provide a
brief description of their business
activity. The response is then assigned
a NAICS code by an analyst using an
automated coding tool. This is the same
methodology that the Census Bureau
uses in the Economic Census to assign
industry classification.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: The Census Bureau
conducts this survey under the
authority of Title 13, U.S.C., Sections
131, 182, and 193. This collection is
made mandatory under the provisions
of Title 13 U.S.C., Sections 224 and 225.
This information collection request
may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view
Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to OIRA_Submission@
omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806.
