Agency Information Collection
Activities; Submission to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Small Business Pulse Survey
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on May 19,
2020 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Small Business Pulse Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0607–1014.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular Submission,
Request for a Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection.
Number of Respondents: 810,000
(22,500 responses per week for up to a
maximum of 36 weeks of collection).
Average Hours per Response: 6
minutes.
Burden Hours: 81,000.
Needs and Uses: Phase 1 of the Small
Business Pulse Survey was launched on
April 26, 2020 as an effort to produce
and disseminate high-frequency,
geographic- and industry-detailed
experimental data about the economic
conditions of small businesses as they
experience the coronavirus pandemic. It
is a rapid response endeavor that
leverages the resources of the federal
statistical system to address emergent
data needs. Given the rapidly changing
dynamics of this situation for American
small businesses, the Small Business
Pulse Survey has been successful in
meeting an acute need for information
on changes in revenues, business
closings, employment and hours
worked, disruptions to supply chains,
and expectations for future operations.
In addition, the Small Business Pulse
Survey provided important estimates of
federal program uptake to key survey
stakeholders.
Due to the ongoing nature of the
pandemic, the Census Bureau
subsequently conducted Phases 2, 3 and

4 of the Small Business Pulse Survey.
The Office of Management and Budget
authorized clearance of Phase 4 of the
Small Business Pulse Survey on
February 16, 2021. The Census Bureau
now seeks approval to conduct Phase 5
of the Small Business Pulse Survey
which will occur over 9 weeks starting
May 17, 2021.
The continuation of the Small
Business Pulse Survey is responsive to
stakeholder requests for high frequency
data that measure the effect of changing
business conditions during the
Coronavirus pandemic on small
businesses. While the ongoing monthly
and quarterly economic indicator
programs provide estimates of dollar
volume outputs for employer businesses
of all size, the Small Business Pulse
Survey captures the effects of the
pandemic on operations and finances of
small, single location employer
businesses. As the pandemic continues,
the Census Bureau is best poised to
collect this information from a large and
diverse sample of small businesses.
It is hard to predict when a shock will
result in economic activity changing at
a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly
frequency. Early in the pandemic,
federal, state, and local policies were
moving quickly so it made sense to have
a weekly collection. The problem is that
while we are in the moment, we cannot
accurately forecast the likelihood of
policy action. In addition, we are not
able to forecast a change in the
underlying cause of policy actions: The
effect of the Coronavirus pandemic on
the economy. We cannot predict
changes in the severity of the pandemic
(e.g., will it worsen in flu season?) nor
future developments that will alleviate
the pandemic (e.g., vaccines or
treatments). In a period of such high
uncertainty, the impossibility of
forecasting these inflection points
underscores the benefits of having a
weekly survey. For these reasons, the
Census Bureau will proceed with a
weekly collection.
Phase 5 of the Small Business Pulse
Survey proposes to capture information
on concepts such as business closings,
changes in revenue, changes in
employment and hours, vaccine
requirements, disruptions to supply
chain, operating capacity factors, and
expectations for future operations.
These economic data will be used to
understand how changes due to the
response to the Coronavirus pandemic
have and continue to affect American
businesses and the U.S. economy.
Content for Phase 5 will remain the
same as the previous phase, with two
minor additions of response categories
(‘‘Restaurant Revitalization Fund’’ and

‘‘Shuttered Venue Operators Grants’’)
will be added as options in questions 15
and 16.
All results from the Small Business
Pulse Survey will continue to be
disseminated as U.S. Census Bureau
Experimental Data Products (https://
portal.census.gov/pulse/data/). This and
additional information on the Small
Business Pulse Survey are available to
the public on census.gov.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Small business will be
selected once to participate in a 6minute survey.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
Sections 131 and 182.
