information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Manufacturers’ Shipments,
Inventories, and Orders (M3).
Form Number(s): M–3(SD).
OMB Control Number: 0607–0008.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 17,200.
Number of Respondents: 4,300.
Average Hours per Response: 20
minutes.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau is requesting an extension of the
currently approved collection for the
Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories,
and Orders (M3) survey. This survey
collects monthly data from domestic
manufacturers on Form M–3 (SD),
which is mailed at the end of each
month. Data requested are shipments,
new orders, unfilled orders, total
inventory, materials and supplies, workin-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
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 backlogs 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.
This survey provides an essential
component of the current economic
indicators needed for assessing the
evolving status of the economy and
formulating economic policy. The Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has designated this survey as a
principal federal economic indicator.
The shipments and inventory data are
essential inputs to the gross domestic
product (GDP), while the orders data are
direct inputs to the leading economic
indicator series. The GDP and the
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
economic indicator series would be
incomplete without these data. The
survey also provides valuable and
timely domestic manufacturing data for
economic planning and analysis to
business firms, trade associations,
research and consulting agencies, and
academia.
The data are used for analyzing shortand long-term trends, both in the
manufacturing sector and as related to
other sectors of the economy. The data
on value of shipments, especially when
adjusted for change in inventory,
measure current levels of production.
New orders figures serve as an indicator
of future production commitments.
Changes in the level of unfilled orders,
because of excess or shortfall of new
orders compared with shipments, are
used to measure the excess (or
deficiency) in the demand for
manufactured products. Changes in the
level of inventories and the relation of
these to shipments are used to project
future movements in manufacturing
activity. These statistics are valuable for
analysts of business cycle conditions
including members of the Council of
Economic Advisers (CEA), the Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA), the Federal
Reserve Board (FRB), the Department of
the Treasury, business firms, trade
associations, private research and
consulting agencies, and the academic
community.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Frequency: Monthly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, United
States Code, Sections 131, 182, 193, and
224.
