Agency: Census Bureau, Department

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 + 3 hours for
cognitive testing = 81,003.
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
through 6 of the Small Business Pulse
Survey. The Office of Management and
Budget authorized clearance of Phase 6
of the Small Business Pulse Survey on
August 6, 2021. The Census Bureau now
seeks approval to conduct Phase 7 of the
Small Business Pulse Survey which will
occur over 9 weeks starting November
15, 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.
SBPS Phase 7 content includes the
core concepts seen throughout the SBPS
previous phases, such as overall impact,
business closures/openings, revenue
and employment changes, workplace
vaccine and testing requirements, and
business outlook. New business norms
questions 14–16 were introduced for
phase 6 and will continue to Phase 7.
Based on feedback from the Department
of Commerce’s chief economist, another
new business norm question was
developed. Question 17 was developed
to capture business changes not
included in question 14–16. The
responses to the new question are
captured through a select all that apply.
This question was cognitively tested
with six businesses. Additionally, in
anticipation of potential pandemic
reoccurrence with economic impact on
small businesses, we have included the
previous cash on hand question. To
balance out the questionnaire with these
new additions, we removed the question
inquiring about revenues from exports
and the open-ended question with 1000
characters. The remarks field at the end
of the survey will still be present.

(China) would be likely to lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping,
at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final

Background

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On

On July 1, 2021, Seaman Paper filed
a timely and adequate substantive
response, within the deadline specified

As a result, pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the Order.

Order is certain tissue paper products
from China. The subject merchandise
