SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
I. Abstract
The U.S. Census Bureau plans to
request an extension of the current
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) clearance of the Manufacturers’
Shipments, Inventories, and Orders
(M3) survey. The M3 survey requests
data from a sample of domestic
manufacturers on form M–3 (SD), which
will be mailed at the end of each month.
Data requested are shipments, new
orders, unfilled orders, total inventory,
materials and supplies, work-in-process,
and finished goods. It is currently the
only survey that provides broad-based
monthly statistical data on the economic
conditions in the domestic
manufacturing sector.
The M3 survey is designed to measure
current industrial activity and to
provide an indication of future
production commitments. The value of
shipments measures the value of goods
delivered during the month by domestic
manufacturers. Estimates of new orders
serve as an indicator of future
production commitments and represent
the current sales value of new orders
received during the month, net of
cancellations. Substantial accumulation
or depletion of unfilled orders measures
excess or deficient demand for
manufactured products. The level of
inventories, especially in relation to
shipments, is frequently used to monitor
the business cycle.
We do not plan any changes to the M–
3 (SD) form or any increase in annual
burden.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents submit data on form M–
3 (SD) via mail, facsimile machine,

I. Abstract
The Billfish Angler Survey provides
the only estimates of billfish angling
activities in the Pacific and Indian
Oceans. This collection of recreational
billfish catch and effort data began in
1969 and now provides a 37 year index
of fishing success in many areas of the
Pacific. The catch per unit of effort
(CPUE) is measured in catch of billfish
per angler fishing day. This time series
of angler success provides a measure of
relative abundance and is the only
survey independent of commercial
fisheries in the Pacific. Trends tracked
over time indicate changes in the health
and size of billfish stocks. This index of
relative abundance is an important
component of stock assessments,
developing management options and
monitoring domestic and international
fishery interactions.
