ACTION: Notice of determination.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census
(Census Bureau) is conducting the 2006
Annual Surveys in the Manufacturing
Area. The 2006 Annual Surveys consist
of the Current Industrial Reports
surveys, the Annual Survey of
Manufactures, the Survey of Industrial
Research and Development, the Survey
of Plant Capacity Utilization, and the
Survey of Pollution Abatement Costs
and Expenditures. We have determined
that annual data collected from these
surveys 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.
The Census Bureau will
furnish report forms to organizations
included in the survey. Additional
copies are available upon written
request to the Director, U.S. Census
Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–0101.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Thomas E. Zabelsky, Chief,
Manufacturing and Construction
Division, at (301) 763–4598.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Census Bureau may conduct surveys
necessary to furnish current data on the
subjects covered by the major censuses,
as authorized by Title 13, United States
Code, Sections 61, 81, 131, 182, 193,
224, and 225.
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 2007. The data
collected in these surveys will be within
the general scope and nature of those
inquiries covered in the economic
censuses.

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, conducted on
a sample basis, covers all manufacturing
industries, including data on plants
under construction but not yet in
operation.

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 in accordance with a joint
project agreement between the National
Science Foundation (NSF) and the
Census Bureau. The NSF publishes the
results in its publication series. Five
data items in the survey provide interim
statistics to those collected in the
Census Bureau’s economic censuses.
These items (total company sales, total
employment, total expenditures for
research and development conducted
within the company, federally-funded
expenditures for research and
development conducted within the
company, and total expenditures and
federally-funded expenditures for
research and development within the
company by state) are collected on a
mandatory basis under the authority of
Title 13, United States Code. Responses
to all other data collected are voluntary.
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.
Survey of Pollution Abatement Costs
and Expenditures
Under a joint project agreement with
the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the Survey of Pollution
Abatement Costs and Expenditures is
designed to collect from establishments
in manufacturing, mining, and electric
utilities industries the total
expenditures by industry and
geographic area to abate pollutant
emissions. The survey covers current
operating costs and capital expenditures
to abate air and water pollution and
solid waste. The survey also obtains the
costs recovered from abatement
activities.
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 (PRA) unless that
collection of information displays a
current, valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number. In
