[Docket Number 130926838-3838-01]
2013 Company Organization Survey
AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Determination.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) is conducting the
2013 Company Organization Survey. The survey's data are needed, in
part, to update the multilocation companies in the Business Register.
The survey, which has been conducted annually since 1974, is designed
to collect information on the number of employees, payroll, geographic
location, current operational status, and kind of business for each
establishment of companies with more than one location. We have
determined that annual data collected from this survey are needed to
aid the efficient performance of essential governmental functions, and
that these data have significant application to the needs of the public
and industry. The data derived from this survey are not available from
any other source.
ADDRESSES: The Census Bureau will furnish report forms to organizations
included in the survey, and additional copies are available upon
written request to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC
20233-0101.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joy P. Pierson, Economic Planning and
Coordination Division, U.S. Census Bureau, Room 8K319, Washington, DC
20233-6100 or by email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 182, 224, and 225 of Title 13,
United States Code (U.S.C.), authorize the Census Bureau to undertake
surveys necessary to furnish current data on the subjects covered by
the major censuses. Years that end in 2 and 7 are considered ``census
years.'' In non-census years, companies report only on basic company
affiliation and operations of establishments not within the scope of
the economic censuses. In these non-census years, all multi-
establishment companies with 250 or more employees report survey
information. Also, groups of smaller companies that are divided into
panels may be selected to report information for one of the non-census
years. Smaller companies may be selected if an organizational change
within the company is indicated, or if they have been selected through
the probability sampling procedure. The next economic census will be
conducted for the year 2017. The data collected in the Company
Organization Survey will be within the general scope, type, and
character of those that are covered in the economic censuses. Forms NC-
99001 (for multi-establishment companies) and NC-99007 (for single-
location companies) will be used to collect the desired data.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required
to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure
to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements
of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
[[Page 64912]]
information displays a current valid Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act,
44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, the OMB approved Forms NC-99001 and NC-99007
under OMB Control Number 0607-0444. We will furnish report forms to
organizations included in the survey, and additional copies are
available upon written request to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau,
Washington, DC 20233-0101.
I have, therefore, directed that the 2013 Company Organization
Survey be conducted for the purpose of collecting these data.
Dated: October 23, 2013.
John H. Thompson,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
