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: Quarterly Survey of Public
Pensions.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0143.
Form Number(s): F–10.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 100.
Average Hours per Response: 45
minutes.
Burden Hours: 300.
Needs and Uses: The Quarterly
Survey of Public Pensions, provides a
rich source of data on public retirement
systems administered by state and local
governments in the United States. Data
have been collected since 1968. Over 3.7
trillion dollars in public pension assets
in the financial markets are controlled
by a small number of large retirement
systems. The Quarterly Survey of Public
Pensions is used to collect data on the
assets, revenues and expenditures of the
100 largest systems.
This survey was initiated at the
request of both the Council of Economic
Advisers and the Federal Reserve Board.
The most important information this
survey provides is the quarterly change
in composition of the securities
holdings of the defined benefit public
employee retirement systems
component of the economy. The Federal
Reserve Board uses these data to track
the public sector portion of the Flow of
Funds Accounts. Additionally, the data
are used by a variety of government
officials, academics, students and nonprofit organizations to analyze trends in
public employee retirement and the
impact of retirement obligations on the
fiscal well-being of state and local
governments.

Currently, we are requesting approval
to conduct the 2019, 2020 and 2021
Quarterly Survey of Public Pensions.
Discussions with the Federal Reserve
Board and data providers and literature
review have revealed that there is little
interest in the measurement of revenue
and benefits on a quarterly basis. Many
systems do not produce these data
quarterly. Obtaining these data requires
consultation with multiple offices and
the finalization of these data often lag
behind asset data. Additionally, there is
burden on data providers to produce
these data quarterly. Therefore, we are
proposing a realignment of content. We
request approval to modify the current
questionnaire to focus on the asset base
of public employee retirement systems
and to remove questions pertaining to
measurement of revenue and benefits
from the quarterly program.
The survey will provide greater focus
on the asset composition of the largest
systems. These data are already
produced for existing internal and
external needs, and most closely align
with the needs of the Federal Reserve
Board. Additionally, the related Annual
Survey of Public Pensions (0607–0585)
will continue to provide a robust
collection of revenue and benefit data
on a fiscal year basis. These data items
are in demand on an annual basis and
are already created for internal and
external purposes by most all systems as
they are required items in
Comprehensive Annual Financial
Reports (CAFRs).
Summary tables of the information
collected are released quarterly on the
internet. Documentation and
explanatory materials are also available
on the internet site here: https://
www.census.gov/programs-surveys/
qspp.html.
Affected Public: State, local or Tribal
government.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
Sections 161 and 182.
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
