Request; High-Frequency Surveys
Program/Household Pulse Survey
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on August 17,
2023 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau,
Department of Commerce.
Title: High Frequency Surveys
Program/Household Pulse Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0607–XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission,
New Information Collection Request.
Number of Respondents: 198,450.
Average Hours per Response: .25 (20
minutes).
Burden Hours: 66,084.
Needs and Uses: The High-Frequency
Surveys Program was established as a
natural progression from the creation of
the Household Pulse Survey. The
Census Bureau developed the
Household Pulse Survey to produce
near real-time data in a time of urgent
and acute need to inform federal and
state action in response to the Covid–19
pandemic. Changes in the measures
over time provided insight into
individuals’ experiences on social and
economic dimensions during the period
of the pandemic. It has evolved to
include content on other emergent
social and economic issues facing
households and is designed to
supplement the federal statistical
system’s traditional benchmark data
products with a new data source that
provides relevant and timely
information based on a high-quality
sample frame, data integration, and
cooperative expertise.
Affected Public: Households.
Frequency: Households will be
selected once to participate in a 20minute survey.

Number of Respondents: Dress
Rehearsal—8,470 and 50 debriefing
interviews; Full AIES—384,940.
Average Hours per Response: Dress
Rehearsal—3 hours and 55 minutes,
Debriefing interviews—1 hour; Full
AIES—3 hours and 23 minutes.
Burden Hours: Dress Rehearsal—
33,206 hours, Debriefing interviews—50
hours; Full AIES—1,300,535 hours.
Needs and Uses: On June 21, 2023,
The Office of Management and Budget
granted approval of a Dress Rehearsal
for the AIES, with the stipulation that
the Census Bureau will submit a
revision request documenting any
changes to the forms or procedures prior
to implementing a full scale AIES. This
revision request documents the
modifications that transpired between
the U.S. Census Bureau obtaining that
OMB clearance and the present
moment.
The U.S. Census Bureau requests
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval to conduct the Annual
Integrated Economic Survey (AIES) on
an annual basis, beginning for survey
year 2023 (collected in calendar year
2024) and a preparatory Dress Rehearsal
for the AIES for survey year 2022
(collected in calendar year 2023). The
AIES is a new survey designed to
integrate and replace seven existing
annual business surveys into one
survey. The AIES will provide the only
comprehensive national and
subnational data on business revenues,
expenses, and assets on an annual basis.
The AIES is designed to combine
Cenlong-termu collections to reduce
respondent burden, increase data
quality, and allow the Census Bureau to
operate more efficiently to reduce long
term costs. The existing collections
integrated into the AIES are the Annual
Retail Trade Survey (ARTS), Annual
Wholesale Trade Survey (AWTS),
Service Annual Survey (SAS), Annual
Survey of Manufactures (ASM), Annual
Capital Expenditures Survey (ACES),
Manufacturers’ Unfilled Orders Survey
(M3UFO), and the Report of
Organization.
The AIES will collect the following
information from employer businesses
in sample:
• Business characteristics, including
employment, operating status,
organizational change, ownership
information, and co-op status.
• Business classification, including
business activity, type of operation, and
tax status.
• Revenue, including sales,
shipments, and receipts, revenue by
class of customer, taxes, contributions,
gifts, and grants, products, and ecommerce activity.

• Operating expenses, including
purchased services, payroll, benefits,
rental payments, utilities, interest,
resales, equipment, materials and
supplies, research and development,
and other detailed operating expenses.
• Assets, including capital
expenditures, inventories, and
depreciable assets.
• Robotic equipment expenditures
and usage.
Additional topics of collections in the
AIES include sources of revenue and/or
expense for providers (e.g., hospitals
and other businesses in the health
industry) of select services such as
inpatient days, outpatient visits to
hospitals, patient visits for other
selected health industries, revenue from
telemedicine services, and expenses for
electronic health records. Product data
will be collected from businesses
operating in manufacturing industries.
Merchandise lines data will be collected
from businesses operating in select
retail industries. Detailed inventories
will be collected for select businesses
operating in transportation services
industries (e.g., trucks, truck tractors,
and trailers).
The AIES may include new questions
each year based on relevant business
topics. Potential topics for such new
questions could include technological
advances, management and business
practices, export practices, and
globalization. Any new questions will
be submitted to OMB for review using
the appropriate clearance vehicle.
In September of 2023, the Census
Bureau began conducting a Dress
Rehearsal for the AIES with
approximately 8,470 companies. The
Dress Rehearsal will collect survey year
2022 information. The Dress Rehearsal
will be a large-scale test of the forms
and procedures planned for the AIES.
The burden estimate is 3 hours and 55
minutes per respondent. The Dress
rehearsal will allow us to examine
patterns of non-response and to
determine what additional support
respondents will need. Paradata
gathered from respondents’ interactions
with the online collection instrument
during the Dress Rehearsal will help
refine our burden estimate. We will also
compare the quality of responses
received to historical data collected in
the 7 surveys the AIES will replace. Up
to 50, 1-hour debriefing interviews with
respondents will also be conducted.
To minimize the burden imposed on
most respondents already in sample for
the seven annual surveys the AIES will
replace, we will use the AIES responses
from companies that participate in the
Dress Rehearsal to satisfy their reporting
requirement for the annual survey(s) for
