The U.S. Census Bureau plans to submit a request for the renewal of the Quarterly Services Survey (QSS) to the Office of Management and Budget. The QSS is essential for measuring economic activity in the service industry in the U.S. and is a significant source for GDP estimation. Since being initiated in 2004, it has expanded to cover numerous sectors such as healthcare and finance. Public comments on the collection request are invited within 30 days of the notice's publication.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Census Bureau wants to keep doing a survey to find out how busy different service businesses are in the country, like doctors or banks, to help understand the economy better. They are asking people to tell them what they think about this plan before they ask for permission to continue.
