Through the Quarterly Census of
Employment and Wages Business Supplement (QBS), the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) can quickly capture information on the impact of
specific events on the U.S. economy. Information collected by the
QBS will allow stakeholders and data users to evaluate the impact
of these events in a timely manner, allowing policy makers to be
able to make informed decisions.

The change in burden is
attributable to the fact that this is a new collection. This is the

will be determined based on topic and the burden assessment will
change each time a new survey is fielded.

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 proposed collection of information, that the certification
