account for about 87.2 percent of the
total assets of all systems, based on the
2012 Census of Governments. The
Quarterly Survey of Public Pensions is
used to collect data on the revenues,
expenditures, and composition of assets
of the 100 largest defined benefit public
employee pension systems for state and
local governments. The panel will be
updated in 2025 based on the results of
the 2022 Census of Governments.
Currently, we are requesting approval
to conduct the 2025, 2026 and 2027
Quarterly Survey of Public Pensions.
We are requesting no changes to the
currently approved information
collection form. The Quarterly Survey of
Public Pensions enables policy makers
and economists to focus on the asset
base of public employee retirement
systems while balancing respondent
burden and data quality and providing
a timelier subset of the data published
in the Annual Survey of Public
Pensions.
This survey was initiated in 1968 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 non-profit
organizations to analyze trends in
public employee retirement and the
impact of retirement obligations on the
fiscal well-being of state and local
governments.
The survey provides a 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 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://
