This notice allows for an additional 30

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau,
Department of Commerce.
Title: Business and Professional
Classification Report.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0189.
Form Number(s): SQ–CLASS.
Type of Request: Regular submission,
Request for an Extension, without
Change, of a Currently Approved
Collection.
Number of Respondents: 60,000.
Average Hours per Response: 13
minutes.
Burden Hours: 13,000.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
continued clearance of the Business and
Professional Classification Report (SQ–
CLASS Report). The primary purpose of
the SQ–CLASS Report is to meet the
ongoing sample needs of the Census
Bureau’s current business surveys of the
retail trade, wholesale trade, and
services portions of the economy 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. Businesses in
Support Activities for Crop Production
(NAICS 1151) and Support Activities for
Animal Production (NAICS 1152) are
included in the scope and collection of
the Economic Census. To ensure that
businesses are properly classified, the
scope of the SQ–CLASS Report includes
businesses in the Agriculture Sector
(NAICS Sector 11) that are not fully
classified. This accounts for
approximately 600 cases in the SQ–
CLASS Report’s sample each year.
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 (IRS). Each EIN can only be
selected once for the SQ–CLASS Report.
EINs selected for the SQ–CLASS Report
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 (BR) for the
current business surveys.
Based on information collected on the
SQ–CLASS Report form, EINs meeting
the criteria for inclusion in the Census
Bureau’s current business surveys are
eligible for a second phase of sampling.
The retail, wholesale, and services EINs
selected in this second sampling are
asked to report monthly for the retail
and wholesale surveys and quarterly for
the services survey.
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 BR data, which provides the
Economic Census and current business
surveys with their establishment lists.
Critical to the quality of information
housed in the BR is that each of the
statistical units has an accurate industry
classification, measure of size, activity
status, and physical address. The vital
information obtained from the SQ–
CLASS Report is fed back to the BR 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. 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
economic sector question. If the
respondent does not see their business
activity listed, then they will provide a
brief description of their business
activity. This is the same methodology
that the Census Bureau uses in the
Economic Census to assign industry
classification.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: The Census Bureau
conducts this survey under the
authority of an Act of Congress, Title 13,
U.S.C., Sections 131, 182, and 193.

Needs and Uses: The School District
Review Program (SDRP) is a U.S.
Department of Education National
Center for Education Statistics (NCES)
sponsored program conducted annually
by the U.S. Census Bureau. It is of vital
importance for each state’s allocation of
federal funding under Title I of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act as amended by the Every Student
Succeeds Act of 2015, Public Law 114–
95. School district information
submitted through this program, along
with the decennial census population,
Small Area Income and Poverty
Estimates, and current population
estimates, are used in forming the
Census Bureau’s estimates of the
number of children ages 5 through 17 in
families in poverty for each school
district. The U.S Department of
Education uses these estimates to
allocate more than $17 billion annually
in Title I funds.
The SDRP encompasses the review of
Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 school
districts as defined by the NCES. Type
1 is a local school district that is not a
component of a supervisory union. Type
2 is a local school district component of
a supervisory union sharing a
superintendent and administrative
services with other local school
districts. Type 3 is an education agency
that performs administrative services for
more than one school district, providing
a common superintendent for
participating districts.
Respondents to the SDRP are the
mapping coordinators and Title I
Coordinators from the fifty states and
the District of Columbia. The NCES also
anticipates the inclusion of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico within
the next three years. Mapping
coordinators are designated by the state
departments of education and are tasked
with reviewing and providing updates
for school district boundaries, federally
assigned school district local education
agency codes, names, grade ranges, and
levels to the Census Bureau. Title I
Coordinators are responsible for
overseeing the SDRP and reviewing all
materials.
There are two phases to the SDRP: the
Annotation Phase and Verification
Phase. During the Annotation Phase, the
Census Bureau provides mapping
coordinators with materials containing
the latest school district boundaries and
school district information that the
Census Bureau has on file for their state.
Mapping coordinators review the data
and submit any changes to the Census
Bureau. The Census Bureau reviews and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

processes the information submitted by
the mapping coordinator and updates
the Master Address File/Topologically
Integrated Geographic Encoding and
Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System.
During the Verification Phase, mapping
coordinators verify that the Census
Bureau updated the MAF/TIGER System
accurately and completely with updates
submitted during the Annotation Phase.
The Census Bureau is adding a
feedback component to allow for the
solicitation of feedback from
respondents to improve the
administration of the program and
potentially reduce the future burden.
Respondents may be asked to provide
their feedback on materials, method(s)
of data collection, manner of
communications, and the usability of
program applications and tools.
Affected Public: All fifty states, the
District of Columbia, and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 16,
