[Docket Number 941124-4324]
Annual Survey of Communication Services
AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Determination.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with Title 13, United States Code, Sections 131,
182, 224, and 225, I have determined that 1994 operating revenue and
expenses are needed for the telephone, radio and television
broadcasting, cable and pay television, and other communication
services industries to provide a sound statistical basis for the
formation of policy by various governmental agencies, and that these
data also apply to a variety of public and business needs. These data
are not publicly available from nongovernment or other governmental
sources.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas E. Zabelsky, Chief, Current
Services Branch, Services Division, on (301) 763-5528.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Census Bureau is authorized to conduct
surveys necessary to furnish current data on subjects covered by the
major censuses authorized by Title 13, United States Code. This survey
will provide continuing and timely national statistical data on
communication services for the period between economic censuses. The
next economic census is in 1997. The data collected in this survey will
be within the general scope and nature of those inquiries covered in
the economic censuses.
The Bureau of the Census needs reports only from a limited sample
of communication firms in the United States. The probability of a
firm's selection is based on revenue size (estimated from payroll). The
sample will provide, with measurable reliability, national level
statistics on operating revenue and expenses for these industries. We
will mail report forms to the firms covered by this survey and require
their submission within thirty days after receipt.
This survey has been submitted to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act, Public Law 96-511, as amended, and was approved under OMB Control
Number 0607-0706. We will provide copies of the forms upon written
request to the Director, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233.
Based upon the foregoing, I have directed that an annual survey be
conducted for the purpose of collecting these data.
Dated: November 22, 1994.
Martha Farnsworth Riche,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
