SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request a
revision of the currently approved
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) clearance of the Current
Industrial Reports (CIR) for Wave II. The
Census Bureau conducts a series of
monthly, quarterly, and annual surveys
as part of the Current Industrial Reports
(CIR) program. The CIR surveys
primarily publish data on quantity and
value of shipments of particular
products and occasionally with data on
production and inventories; unfilled
orders, receipts, stocks and
consumption; and comparative data on
domestic production, exports, and
imports of the products they cover.
These surveys provide continuing and
timely national statistical data on
manufacturing. Individual firms, trade
associations, and market analysts use
the results of these surveys extensively
in planning or recommending marketing
and legislative strategies.
The CIR program includes both
mandatory and voluntary surveys.
Typically, the monthly and quarterly
surveys are conducted on a voluntary
basis and annual collections are
mandatory. The collection frequency of
individual CIR surveys is determined by
the cyclical nature of production, the
need for frequent trade monitoring, or
the use of data in Government economic
indicator series. Some monthly and
quarterly CIR surveys have an annual
‘‘counterpart’’ collection. The annual
counterpart collects annual data on a
mandatory basis from those firms not
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703

participating in the more frequent
collection.
Due to the large number of surveys in
the CIR program, for clearance purposes,
the CIR surveys are divided into
‘‘waves.’’ One wave is resubmitted for
clearance each year. This year the
Census Bureau plans to submit
mandatory and voluntary surveys of
Wave II for clearance. During the
economic census years, years ending in
2 and 7 all voluntary annual surveys are
made mandatory. For the 2007
Economic Census the following surveys
are converting to mandatory status:
MA311D—‘‘Confectionery’’, MA333N—
‘‘Fluid Power Products for Motion
Control (Including Aerospace), and
MA336G—‘‘Aerospace Industry’’. The
MQ335C—‘‘Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts’’
is discontinued. All known
manufacturing activities for this
industry are done outside the United
States. The surveys included in Wave II
are:
Mandatory surveys
Voluntary survey
M311J—Oilseeds,
Beans, and Nuts
(Primary Producers).
M313N—Cotton and
Raw Linters in Public Storage.
M313P—Consumption on the Cotton

I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request a revision of the currently
approved Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance of the Current
Industrial Reports (CIR) for Wave II. The Census Bureau conducts a
series of monthly, quarterly, and annual surveys as part of the Current
Industrial Reports (CIR) program. The CIR surveys primarily publish

analysts use the results of these surveys extensively in planning or

The CIR program includes both mandatory and voluntary surveys.
Typically, the monthly and quarterly surveys are conducted on a
voluntary basis and annual collections are mandatory. The collection
frequency of individual CIR surveys is determined by the cyclical
nature of production, the need for frequent trade monitoring, or the
use of data in Government economic indicator series. Some monthly and
quarterly CIR surveys have an annual ``counterpart'' collection. The
annual counterpart collects annual data on a mandatory basis from those
firms not participating in the more frequent collection.
Due to the large number of surveys in the CIR program, for
clearance purposes, the CIR surveys are divided into ``waves.'' One
wave is resubmitted for clearance each year. This year the Census
Bureau plans to submit mandatory and voluntary surveys of Wave II for
clearance. During the economic census years, years ending in 2 and 7
