produce individual data products that
focus on state governments, local
governments, and public pensions in
greater detail than the combined
financial and employment series as a
by-product of their collections for the
combined data series. The Census
Bureau provides these data to the
Bureau of Economic Analysis to develop
the public sector components of the
National Income and Product Accounts
and for constructing the functional
payrolls in the public sector of the Gross
Domestic Product, payroll being the
single largest component of current
operations. The Census Bureau also
provides these data to the Federal
Reserve Board for use in the Flow of
Funds Accounts. Other Federal agencies
that make use of the data include the
Council of Economic Advisers, the
Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality, the Government Accountability
Office, and the Department of Justice.
State and local governments and related
organizations, public policy groups,
public interest groups, private research
organizations, and private sector
businesses also use these data.
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal
government.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, Section 161,
of the United States Code requires the

Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau
is requesting Office of Management and

The QFR program is a principal
federal economic indicator that has
published up-to-date aggregate statistics
on the financial results and position of
U.S. corporations since 1947. The QFR
provides critical source data to the
Bureau of Economic Analysis’ (BEA)
quarterly estimates of Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) and Gross Domestic
Income (GDI), key components of the
National Income and Product Accounts
(NIPA). The QFR data are also vital to
the Federal Reserve Board’s (FRB)
Financial Accounts. Title 13 of the
United States Code, Section 91 requires
that financial statistics of business
operations be collected and published
quarterly. Public Law 114–72 extended
the authority of the Secretary of
Commerce to conduct the QFR Program
under Section 91 through September 30,
2030.
The main purpose of the QFR is to
provide timely, accurate data on
business financial conditions for use by
government and private-sector
organizations and individuals. Primary
public users include U.S. governmental
organizations with economic
measurement and policymaking
responsibilities such as the Bureau of
Economic Analysis, the Bureau of Labor
Statistic and the Federal Reserve Board.
In turn, these organizations provide
guidance, advice, and support to the
QFR program. The primary nongovernmental data users are a diverse
group including universities, financial
analysts, unions, trade associations,
public libraries, banking institutions,
and U.S. and foreign corporations.
The Census Bureau uses two forms of
data collection: Mail out/mail back
paper survey forms and a secure
encrypted internet data collection
system called Centurion. Centurion has
automatic data checks and is contextsensitive to assist respondents in
identifying potential reporting problems
before submission, thus reducing the
need for follow-up from Census Bureau
staff. Data collection through Centurion
is completed via the internet,
eliminating the need for downloading
software and ensuring the integrity and
confidentiality of the data.
Companies are asked to respond to
the survey within 25 days of the end of
the quarter for which the data are being
requested. Census Bureau staff contact
companies that have not responded by
the designated time through letters,
telephone calls, and/or email to
encourage participation.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
