FROM THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT PROGRAM
COMPANY STATISTICS DIVISION
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU
Our records show that you have not complied with your legal obligation to file your Quarterly
Financial Report (QFR). This is a reminder your report is due.
The QFR survey is the most comprehensive current financial survey conducted by the government.
The survey results are used to prepare national measures of corporate profits, including estimates of
the Gross Domestic Income, and to formulate fiscal and monetary policy. Your company’s
participation is critical to this effort.
YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW. Title 13, United States Code, Section 91, requires
those selected for the QFR survey to answer the questions and return the report to the U.S. Census
Bureau. By the same law (Section 9), responses are strictly confidential. Only sworn Census Bureau
employees may see the reports, and the information contained in them will only be used for
statistical purposes. Furthermore, copies retained in respondents’ files are immune from legal
process.
Please complete and return your report within SEVEN DAYS. We encourage the use of
electronic reporting through our secured U.S. Government Internet Website:
econhelp.census.gov/qfr (see the reverse side of this letter for additional information). If you
choose to use the enclosed paper form, please submit by facsimile to (800) 447–4613. Additional
information about the QFR survey, as well as report forms in .pdf format, is available on our
Website: census.gov/econ/qfr.
We recognize the burden involved in completing the report; however, your participation is necessary
to ensure the accuracy of the published results. To minimize the burden, you may use
REASONABLE ESTIMATES for line items where actual data are not available. If you have
questions about completing the report, please enroll in Secure Messaging Center to correspond with
our staff at the following Website: econhelp.census.gov/qfr/contactus. You can also call our
staff at our toll-free number (800) 272–4250 or (301) 763–3359.
If you have submitted your current report within the last few days, please consider this letter a thank
you. Your participation in the QFR survey is appreciated.
Sincerely,

Jeffrey L. Mayer
Chief, Company Statistics Division
U.S. Census Bureau
