The Bureau of Economic Analysis uses the statistics in multiple components of the gross domestic product and national income accounts. The statistics also support economic research and comparative studies of government finances. Respondents are state and local governments.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in respondent burden is due to the selection of a new sample for the F-71 survey. The new sample of 5,351 respondents will be collected concurrently with the old sample of 5,379 respondents, with 3,828 units in both samples, for two quarters, at which time a bridge study will be conducted and the old sample will be discontinued. The new sample continuing forward will consist of approximately 5,351 respondents. The F-73 survey also has a new sample. The panel study of 111 respondents will be replaced with a probability sample of 3,879 respondents to meet Census Bureau and Office of Management and Budget quality standards. The change to a probability sample combined with changes to meet quality standards resulted in an increase in sample size and a slightly longer questionnaire. The new sample will overlap, 80 respondents are in both universes, with the old panel survey for six quarters at which time a bridge study will be conducted and the old sample will be discontinued. The new sample continuing forward will consist of approximately 3,879 respondents.
