[Docket No. 990209046-9046-01]
Annual Surveys in Manufacturing Area
AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Determination.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In conformity with Title 13, United States Code (sections 61,
81, 182, 224, and 225), I have determined that annual data collected
from the surveys listed below are needed to aid the efficient
performance of essential governmental functions and have significant
application to the needs of the public and industry. The data derived
from these surveys, most of which have been conducted for many years,
are not publicly available from nongovernmental or other governmental
sources.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William G. Bostic, Jr., Chief,
Manufacturing and Construction Division, on (301) 457-4593.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Census Bureau is authorized to take
surveys necessary to furnish current data on the subjects covered by
the major censuses authorized by Title 13, United States Code. These
surveys will provide continuing and timely national statistical data on
manufacturing for the period between economic censuses. The next
economic censuses will be conducted for the year 2002. The data
collected in these surveys will be within the general scope and nature
of those inquiries covered in the economic censuses.
Current Industrial Reports
Most of the following commodity or product surveys provide data on
shipments or production; some provide data on stocks, unfilled orders,
orders booked, consumption, and so forth. Reports will be required of
all, or a sample of, establishments engaged in the production of the
items covered by the following list of surveys.
In 1998, the Census Bureau converted the Current Industrial Reports
survey form names to reflect the switch from the old U.S. Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) system to the new North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS). For example, the MA22F survey
under the old SIC system is the MA313F survey under NAICS.
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), Public Law
104-13, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved these
surveys under OMB Control Numbers 0607-0206, 0607-0392, 0607-0393,
0607-0395, 0607-0476 and 0607-0776. We will provide copies of the forms
upon written request to the Director, Bureau of the Census, Washington,
DC 20233-0001.

Annual Survey of Manufactures
The Annual Survey of Manufactures collects industry statistics,
such as total value of shipments, employment, payroll, workers' hours,
capital expenditures, cost of materials consumed, supplemental labor
costs, and so forth. This survey, while conducted on a sample basis,
covers all manufacturing industries, including data on plants under
construction but not yet in operation.
In accordance with the PRA, Public Law 104-13, OMB has approved
this survey under OMB Control Number 0607-0449. We will provide copies
of the form upon written request to the Director, Bureau of the Census,
Washington, DC 20233-0001.
Survey of Industrial Research and Development
The Survey of Industrial Research and Development measures spending
on research and development activities in private U.S. businesses. The
Census Bureau collects and compiles this information with funding from
the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF publishes the results in
its publication series. Four data items in the survey provide interim
statistics collected in the Census Bureau's economic censuses. These
items (total company sales, total company employment, total
expenditures, and federally-funded expenditures for research and
development conducted within the company) are collected on a mandatory
basis under the authority of Title 13. Responses to all other data
collected for the NSF are voluntary.
In accordance with the PRA, Public Law 104-13, OMB has approved
this survey under OMB Control Number 3145-0027. We will provide copies
of the form upon written request to the Director, Bureau of the Census,
Washington, DC 20233-0001.
Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization
The Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization is designed to measure the
use of industrial capacity. The survey collects information on actual
output and estimates of potential output in terms of value of
production. These data are the basis for calculating rates of
utilization of full production capability and use of production
capability under national emergency conditions.
In accordance with the PRA, Public Law 104-13, OMB has approved
this survey under OMB Control Number 0607-0175. We will provide copies
of the form upon written request to the Director, Bureau of the Census,
Washington, DC 20233-0001. I have, therefore, directed that these
annual surveys be conducted for the purpose of collecting the data as
described.
Dated: February 8, 1999.
