We invite the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 via the Federal Register on September 22, 2023 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce. Title: Annual Business Survey. OMB Control Number: 0607–1004. Form Number(s): ABS–1. Type of Request: Regular submission, Request for a Revision of a Currently Approved Collection. Number of Respondents: 338,000. Average Hours per Response: 58 minutes. Burden Hours: 325,200. Needs and Uses: In an effort to improve the measurement of business dynamics in the United States, the Census Bureau is conducting the 2024 Annual Business Survey (ABS), covering reference year 2023. The ABS combines Census Bureau firm-level collections to reduce respondent burden, increase data quality, reduce operational costs, and operate more efficiently. The ABS provides information on selected economic and demographic characteristics for businesses and business owners by sex, ethnicity, race, and veteran status. Further, the survey measures research and development for microbusinesses, new business topics such as innovation and technology, as well as other business characteristics. The 2024 ABS is co-sponsored by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) within the National Science Foundation (NSF) and conducted by the Census Bureau. The ABS includes all nonfarm employer businesses filing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax forms as individual proprietorships, partnerships, or any other type of corporation, with receipts of $1,000 or more. While the 2023 ABS sampled approximately 850,000 employer businesses to produce detailed statistics by owner demographics, the 2024 ABS sample is reduced to approximately 330,000 employer businesses. Starting with survey year 2024 (reference year 2023), the sample is reduced to approximately 330,000 employer businesses annually (survey years 2024– 2027) to reduce the burden on the respondents. The reduced sample size will yield summary-level estimates for women-owned, minority-owned, and veteran-owned businesses at the 4-digit E:\FR\FM\22JAN1.SGM 22JAN1
