the Business and Professional
Classification Report (SQ–CLASS). The
primary purpose of SQ–CLASS Report
is to meet the ongoing sample needs of
the Census Bureau’s various surveys of
the retail trade, wholesale trade, and
services portions of the economy (our
current business surveys) as defined by
the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). The data
collected by the SQ–CLASS report are
used to update the samples in our
current business surveys to reflect
newly opened establishments.
Additionally, establishments in the fiveyear economic census will receive data
collection instruments specifically
tailored to their industry based on the
classification information obtained by
the SQ–CLASS report.
Additionally, establishments in the
five-year economic census will receive
data collection instruments specifically
tailored to their industry based on the
classification information obtained by
the SQ–CLASS report. Businesses in
Support Activities for Crop Production
(NAICS 1151) and Support Activities for
Animal Production (NAICS 1152) will
be added to the scope and collection of
the 2022 Economic Census in order to
fill a recognized measurement gap. To
ensure that businesses are properly
classified before the 2022 Economic
Census collection, the scope of the SQ–
CLASS is being expanded to include
businesses in the Agriculture Sector
(NAICS 11) that are not fully classified.
This change adds approximately 6,000
cases to the SQ–CLASS collection in
Fiscal Year 2022 and a small number of
additional cases in succeeding years,
with minor modifications to the SQ–
CLASS instrument and instructions. In
the Federal Register notice dated March
8, 2021 located in Vol. 86, No. 43, on
page 13,280, this change to our
sampling structure was not mentioned.
To keep current with rapid changes in
the marketplace caused by new
businesses (a.k.a. births) the Census
Bureau samples newly assigned
Employer Identification Numbers (EINs)
obtained from the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS). Each EIN can only be
selected once for the SQ–CLASS report.
EINs selected for the SQ–CLASS sample
are asked to provide data about the
establishment(s) associated with the
new EIN including a more reliable
measure of size, consisting of sales in
two recent months, company affiliation
information, a new or more detailed
industry classification code, and other
key information needed to maintain
proper coverage of the business universe
on the Business Register (BR) for the
current business surveys.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001

Based on information collected on the
SQ–CLASS form, EINs meeting the
criteria for inclusion in the Census
Bureau’s current business surveys are
eligible for a second phase of sampling.
The retail, wholesale, and services EINs
selected in this second sampling are
asked to report annually on the annual
retail, wholesale, and service surveys. A
subsample of the retail and wholesale
EINs are also asked to report monthly on
the monthly retail and wholesale
surveys. Similarly, a subsample of the
service EINs are asked to report in the
quarterly services survey.
The Economic Census and the current
business surveys represent the primary
source of facts about the structure and
function of the U.S. economy, providing
essential information to government and
the business community in making
sound decisions. This information helps
build the foundation for the calculation
of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and
other economic indicators. Crucial to its
success are the accuracy and reliability
of the BR data, which provides the
Economic Census and current business
surveys with their establishment lists.
Critical to the quality of information
housed in the BR is that each of the
statistical units has an accurate industry
classification, measure of size, activity
status, and physical address assigned to
it. The vital information obtained from
the SQ–CLASS report is fed back to the
BR to represent changes in industries
and confirm coverage between the years
of the Economic Census.
We are not proposing any major
changes to the collection. Minimal
changes are being made to the economic
activity descriptions in the primary
business activity question on the SQ–
CLASS report. These changes include
providing additional examples of
activities included in a specific
economic sector. Respondents will
continue to choose the economic sector
of their business and then select their
type of business from a list of business
activities based on their response to the
question about their economic sector. If
the respondent does not see their
business activity listed, then they will
provide a brief description of their
business activity. This is the same
methodology that the Census Bureau
uses in the Economic Census to assign
industry classification.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.
