information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Annual Capital Expenditures
Survey.
Form Number(s): ACE–1(S), ACE–
1(M), ACE–1(L), ACE–2.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0782.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 132,900.
Number of Respondents: 61,000.
Average Hours per Response: 2 hours
and 10 minutes.
Needs and Uses: A major concern of
economic policymakers is the adequacy
of investment in plant and equipment.
The data on the amount of business
expenditures for new plant and
equipment and measures of the stock of
existing facilities are critical to
evaluating productivity growth, the
ability of U.S. business to compete with
foreign business, changes in industrial
capacity, and overall economic
performance. The ACES survey is the
sole source of detailed comprehensive
statistics on investment in buildings and
other structures, machinery, and
equipment by private nonfarm
businesses in the United States.
Data users tell us that they need
comprehensive and consistent data on
investment by all private nonfarm
businesses, by industry, by kind of
investment, i.e., whether in new or used
structures or equipment. The objectives
of the ACES survey are:
(a) To provide estimates of capital
expenditures for all private nonfarm
sectors of the economy by 3-digit and
selected 4-digit North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS)
levels;
(b) To base the survey on a probability
sample that yields measures of the
statistical reliability of the survey
estimates;
(c) To develop a base survey to
benchmark more frequent surveys on
capital expenditures that do not have
complete industry coverage;
(d) To produce annual enterpriselevel data with the level of detail,
coverage, and quality which previously
was only available as part of the
quinquennial economic census;
(e) To provide detail on capital
expenditures for estimating the national
income and product accounts,
estimating the productivity of U.S.

industries, evaluating fiscal and
monetary policy, and conducting
research using capital expenditures
data; and
(f) To provide industry analysts with
capital expenditures data for market
analysis, economic forecasting, product
development, and business planning.
This request is for a revision of a
currently approved collection and will
cover the 2007 through 2009 ACES
(conducted in fiscal years 2008–2010).
Changes from the previous ACES
authorization are the collection of
capital expenditures by type of structure
and type of equipment in the 2008
ACES, and the incorporation of the 2007
North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) in the 2009 ACES.
Capital expenditures by type of
structure and type of equipment were
last collected from employer companies
in the 2003 ACES. These data, collected
together once every five years, will
again be collected in the 2008 ACES.
The data are critical to evaluating the
comprehensiveness of capital
expenditures statistics in years detailed
data on types of structures and
equipment are not collected. The
detailed structures data will provide a 5year benchmark for estimates of new
construction put in place. The detailed
equipment data will provide a periodic
measure of expenditures by type of
equipment and assist in evaluating
estimates of the private equipment and
software components of nonresidential
fixed investment.
Through the 2008 ACES, data will be
based on the 2002 NAICS. Beginning
with the 2009 ACES, however, we will
collect and publish data based on the
2007 NAICS. Industries in the survey
will comprise 3-digit and 4-digit 2007
NAICS codes.
To collect data, the Census Bureau
will rely primarily on mail out/mail
back survey forms. Employer companies
will be mailed one of three forms based
on the diversity of their operations, i.e.,
the number of industries in which they
have payroll. All employer forms will
have the 3-digit or selected 4-digit
NAICS industries imprinted on the form
to minimize the need for industry self
coding.
Companies that operate in only one
industry will receive an ACE–1(S) form.
These companies will not be asked to
report capital expenditures by industry,
thus eliminating the need for industry
