coordinated submission through the
state government revenue office.
For the Quarterly Survey of NonProperty Taxes (Form F–73) the Census
Bureau will email letters quarterly to a
sample of approximately 2,100 local tax
collection agencies, known to have
substantial collections of local general
sales and/or local individual/
corporation net income taxes, requesting
their online data submissions.
F–71 and F–73 survey data will be
collected via the internet. Data for the
F–72 survey are collected via email or
compilation of data in coordination
with the state government revenue
office.
In addition to reporting current
quarter data, respondents may report
data for the previous seven quarters or
submit revisions to their previously
submitted data. In the event that a
respondent cannot report online, they
may request a form as a last resort.
In those instances, when the Census
Bureau are not able to obtain a response,
follow-up operations will be conducted
using email and phone calls.
Nonresponse weighting adjustments are
used to adjust for any unreported units
in the sample from the latest available
data.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request
clearance from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for the
collection of data concerning the
Fertility Supplement to be conducted in
conjunction with the June Current
Population Survey (CPS). The Census
Bureau sponsors the supplement
questions, which were previously
collected in June 2022, and have been
asked periodically since 1971. The
current clearance expired May 30, 2023.
This survey provides information
used mainly by government and private
analysts to project future population
growth, to analyze child spacing, and to
aid policymakers and private analysts in
their decisions affected by changes in
family size and composition. Past
studies have discovered noticeable
changes in the patterns of fertility rates
and the timing of the first birth.
Potential needs for government
assistance, such as aid to families with
dependent children, childcare, and
maternal health care for single parent

The U.S. Census Bureau plans to
request a three-year extension of the
current Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) clearance of the
Quarterly Services Survey (QSS). The
QSS covers employer firms with
establishments located in the United
States and classified in select service
industries as defined by the North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS). The QSS coverage
currently includes all or parts of the
following NAICS sectors: utilities
(excluding government owned);
transportation and warehousing (except
rail transportation and postal);
information; finance and insurance
(except funds, trusts, and other financial
vehicles); real estate and rental and
leasing; professional, scientific, and
technical services (except offices of
notaries); administrative and support
and waste management and remediation
services; educational services (except
elementary and secondary schools,
junior colleges, and colleges,
universities, and professional schools);
health care and social assistance; arts,
entertainment, and recreation;
accommodation; and other services
(except public administration). The
primary estimates produced from the
QSS are quarterly estimates of total
operating revenue and the percentage of
revenue by source. The survey also
produces estimates of total operating
expenses from tax-exempt firms in
industries that have a large not-for-profit
component. For hospitals, the survey
produces estimates of the number of
inpatient days and discharges, and for
select industries in the arts,
entertainment, and recreation sector, the
survey produces estimates of
admissions revenue.
Firms are selected for the QSS using
a stratified design with strata defined by
industry, tax status, and estimated size
based on annual revenue. The current
