Burden Hours: 81,000 + 36 hours for
cognitive testing = 81,036.
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, 3, 4
and 5 of the Small Business Pulse
Survey. The Office of Management and
Budget authorized clearance of Phase 5
of the Small Business Pulse Survey on
May 11, 2021. The Census Bureau now
seeks approval to conduct Phase 6 of the
Small Business Pulse Survey which will
occur over 9 weeks starting August 16,
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 6 content includes core
concepts as previous phases, such as
overall impact, business closures/
openings, revenue and employment
changes, and expectations while also
including questions relevant to
economic recovery and new business
norms. Questions 11–14 are newly
developed content for Phase 6 and are
subjective rather than quantitative by
design. The goal is for the respondent to
provide their own context based on
their discretion.
In the event of a pandemic
reoccurrence scenario, the Census
Bureau would shift to utilize previous
and existing content for Phase 6. In
anticipation that recovery questions will
be utilized, we completed two rounds of
cognitive testing, starting on May 3,
2021 and ending on May 25, 2021. OMB
approved the Phase 6 cognitive testing
on April 30, 2021. An additional flash
round of cognitive testing was
completed from Monday, June 21–
Wednesday, June 23rd to satisfy a late
content request from the International
Trade Administration.
All results from the Small Business
Pulse Survey will continue to be
disseminated as U.S. Census Bureau
Experimental Data Products (https://
portal.census.gov/pulse/data/). This and
additional information on the Small
Business Pulse Survey are available to
the public on census.gov.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Small business will be
selected once to participate in a 6minute survey.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
Sections 131 and 182.

grantees for the establishment or
reorganization of zones and can permit
significantly greater flexibility in the

in the context of the FTZ Board’s
standard 2,000-acre activation limit for

and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR
part 400). It was formally docketed on
June 22, 2021.

Board on August 28, 2001 (Board Order
1183, 66 FR 48116–48117, September
18, 2001). The current zone includes the
following sites: Site 1 (4,000 acres)—
Amarillo International Airport and
adjacent industrial park property, 10801
Airport Boulevard, Amarillo (Potter
County); Site 2 (6 acres)—Panhandle
Container Service Center, 1201 South
