DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
The Bureau of the Census (U.S. Census Bureau) is conducting
the 2008 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 the
establishments of multilocation companies. We have determined that
annual data collected from this survey 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 [[Page 74140]]
derived from this survey are not available from any other source.
SUMMARY:
2008 Company Organization Survey,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Sections 182, 195, 224, and 225, authorizes the Census Bureau to undertake surveys necessary to furnish current data on the subjects covered by the major censuses. This survey will provide continuing and timely national statistical data for the period between economic censuses. The next economic censuses will be conducted for the year 2012. The data collected in this survey will be within the general scope, type, and character of those that are covered in the economic censuses. Forms NC99001 and NC99007 (for singlelocation 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 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 NC99001 and NC99007 on December 21, 2004, under OMB Control Number 06070444. We will furnish report forms to organizations included in the survey, and additional copies are available on written request to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 202330101.
I have therefore directed that the 2008 Company Organization Survey be conducted for the purpose of collecting these data.
Dated: December 2, 2008.
Steve H. Murdock,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
