Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 12,196.
Number of Respondents: 8,712.
Average Hours Per Response: 7
minutes.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
approval of an extension to the Monthly
Retail Trade Survey, previously referred
to as the ‘‘Current Retail Sales and
Inventory Survey’’. The Monthly Retail
Trade Survey provides estimates of
monthly retail sales, end-of-month
merchandise inventories, and quarterly
e-commerce sales of retailers in the
United States by selected kinds of
business. Also, it provides monthly
sales of food service establishments.
Sales and inventories data provide a
current statistical picture of the retail
portion of consumer activity. The sales
and inventories estimates in the
Monthly Retail Trade Survey measure
current trends of economic activity that
occur in the United States. Also, the
estimates compiled from the survey
provide valuable information for
economic policy decisions and actions
by the government and are widely used
by private businesses, trade
organizations, professional associations,
and others for market research and
analysis. The Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) uses these data in
determining the consumption portion of
Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Retail and Food Services Sales during
2007 amounted to $4.5 trillion. The
estimates produced in the Monthly
Retail Trade Survey are critical to the
accurate measurement of total economic
activity. The estimates of retail sales
represent all operating receipts,
including receipts from wholesale sales
made at retail locations and services
rendered as part of the sale of the goods,
by businesses that primarily sell at
retail. The sales estimates include sales
made on credit as well on a cash basis,
but exclude receipts from sales taxes
and interest charges from credit sales.
Also excluded is non-operating income
from such services as investments and
real estate.
The estimates of merchandise
inventories owned by retailers represent
all merchandise located in retail stores,
warehouses, offices, or in transit for
distribution to retail establishments.
The estimates of merchandise
inventories exclude fixtures and
supplies not held for sale, as well as
merchandise held on consignment
owned by others. The BEA uses
inventories data to determine the
investment portion of the GDP.
Retail e-commerce sales are estimated
from the same sample used in the
Monthly Retail Trade Survey to estimate
