Dear Public Official:
The U.S. Census Bureau sent packets to your office requesting assistance in obtaining data
for the 2015 Annual Survey of Public Employment & Payroll. This survey, authorized by
Title 13, United States Code, Sections 161 and 182, collects information on the number of
employees and their payroll for state and local governments for the pay periods that
include March 12, 2015.
Enclosed are the separate questionnaires for specific activities performed by this agency
that have yet to respond to our original request. Please complete and return to the Census
Bureau each questionnaire that accompanies this letter, and retain copies for your records.
Each questionnaire should be completed for the employees engaged in the activities
described in the address label. You may forward these completed questionnaires to the
Census Bureau by using the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
If you need assistance with your response, please contact us by phone at 1–800–832–2839
weekdays between 7 AM and 5 PM ET, or by email at govs.employ@census.gov.
Thank you for participating in the 2015 Annual Survey of Public Employment & Payroll.
The Census Bureau appreciates your help.
Sincerely,

Kevin E. Deardorff
Chief, Economy-Wide Statistics Division
