Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: 2009—2011 Company Organization Survey. Form Number(s): NC–99001, NC– 99007. OMB Control Number: 0607–0444. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Burden Hours: 127,517. Number of Respondents: 48,000. Average Hours per Response: 2 hours and 40 minutes. Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau is requesting an extension of the PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 44349 currently approved Company Organization Survey (COS) to conduct the 2009, 2010 and 2011 COS. This collection will direct inquiries to multiestablishment enterprises and selected single-establishment companies. The Census Bureau conducts the annual COS in order to update and maintain a central, multipurpose Business Register (BR). In particular, the COS supplies critical information on the organizational structure, operating characteristics, and employment and payroll of multi-location enterprises. The 2009–2011 COS collection will not differ from the 2008. The sample size will remain the same as in 2008 surveying 48,000 respondents. Form NC–99001 is mailed to multilocation enterprises. We ask questions on ownership or control by a domestic parent, ownership or control by a foreign parent, and ownership of foreign affiliates; research and development, and employees from a professional employer organization. Establishment inquiries include questions on operational status, mid-March employment, first-quarter payroll, and annual payroll of establishments (see Attachment A, Item 5 of NC–99001). In addition to the mailing of multilocation enterprises, the Census Bureau will mail Form NC–99007 to some large single-location enterprises that may have added some locations. Form NC– 99007 contains questions on ownership and control by a domestic company, number of locations of operation, physical location, locations of operation, and inquiries on mid-March employment, first-quarter payroll, and annual payroll for each separate location. The BR serves two fundamental purposes: First and most important, it provides sampling populations and enumeration lists for the Census Bureau’s economic surveys and censuses, and it serves as an integral part of the statistical foundation underlying those programs. Essential for this purpose is the BR’s ability to identify all known United States business establishments and their parent companies. Further, the BR must accurately record basic business attributes needed to control sampling and enumeration. These attributes include industrial and geographic classifications, measures of size and economic activity, ownership characteristics, and contact information (for example, name and address). Second, it provides establishment data that serve as the basis for the annual County Business Patterns (CBP) statistical series. The CBP reports present data on number of E:\FR\FM\28AUN1.SGM 28AUN1
