Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 70166 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 168 / Thursday, August 29, 2024 / Notices new supplemental content will be chosen for each year and an updated instrument will be submitted to OMB for review along with a 30-day Federal Register Notice. The Census Bureau is requesting the addition of a new question to the core set. This question expands on an existing core question that currently asks whether the business experienced any monetary issues due to an extreme weather event. The new question will ask about the type of extreme weather event, offering thirteen different options plus a write-in choice. This new question will only be asked if the response to the previous question indicates that monetary issues were experienced. The addition of this question aims to enhance our understanding of how various weatherrelated events impact business operations, including identifying specific weather disruptions and associated financial losses. This change was requested by the Small Business Administration. In 2024, the second supplemental questionnaire will address work-fromhome (WFH) from the business perspective. Similar to the 2023 BTOS core questions on artificial intelligence (AI), a core WFH question will be included in all cycles. This core question will be a yes/no format designed to capture potential seasonal variations in WFH at the business level. Establishing this baseline is crucial for understanding seasonal patterns, as preliminary cognitive testing indicated that seasonality could significantly affect certain industries. The Coronavirus pandemic emphasized the importance of remote work for economic continuity. Postpandemic, work from home (WFH) remains significant in many workplaces but its extent at businesses and businesses’ plans for the future of remote work are not measured in a timely fashion. Currently, WFH data from a worker perspective is available through 2024 via the Current Population Survey (CPS), but business-level data is only available through 2022 from the Business Response Survey (BRS), which is currently on hiatus. Results from the Annual Business Survey through 2022 will be released in fall 2024. Timely measures of WFH from the business perspective will be valuable to policymakers at all levels due to its potential impact on housing markets, commercial real estate, and urban planning. For sample year 3, we propose changes to the content as detailed in Attachments A and B of the Information Collection Request (ICR) submitted to VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:16 Aug 28, 2024 Jkt 262001 OMB for review. Attachment A outlines the core questions for cycles 2 through 4 and includes the core plus supplemental content for cycle 2. Based on cognitive testing results, the burden estimate for the core questions has increased from approximately 9 minutes to 10 minutes. The WFH supplement is estimated to add an additional 10 minutes of burden to the core questions. Frequency: Bi-weekly. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 131 and 182. This information collection request may be viewed at https:// www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view the Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB.
