The Census Bureau conducts the
Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue, using
the F-71 (Quarterly Survey of Property Tax Collections), F-72
(Quarterly Survey of State Tax Collections), and F-73 (Quarterly
Survey of Non-Property Taxes) forms. The Quarterly Summary of State
and Local Government Tax Revenue provides quarterly estimates of
state and local government tax revenue at the national level, as
well as detailed tax revenue data for individual states. The Census
Bureau is requesting a revision to the F-73 form, which surveys
local governments on the non-property taxes they collect. The
current form will be reduced from eleven questions to three
questions on the revised form, reducing the number of burden hours
requested.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
