Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: Construction Progress Reporting Surveys. OMB Control Number: 0607–0153. Form Number(s): C–700, C–700 (R), C–700 (SL), C–700 (F). Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection. Burden Hours: 54,600. Number of Respondents: 21,000. Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes for mail-back responses; 5 minutes for telephone responses. Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau is requesting an extension of a currently approved collection for forms C–700, Private Construction Projects; C– 700 (R), Multi-family Residential Projects; and C–700 (SL), State and Local Governments Projects and a revision to include form C–700 (F), Federal Government Projects. The C– 700 (F) is being added because it was previously approved according to the procedures described in the Interagency Reports Act, which has been discontinued. The pre-submission notice that was submitted earlier did not include any reference to the C–700 (F) because it was believed that the form would be handled separately. These forms are used to conduct the Construction Progress Reporting Surveys (CPRS) to collect information on the dollar value of construction put in place on building projects under construction by private companies or individuals, private multi-family residential buildings, and on building projects under construction by federal and state and local governments. The Census Bureau uses the information collected on these forms to publish estimates of the monthly value of construction put in place: (1) For nonresidential projects owned by private companies or individuals; (2) for projects owned by state and local agencies; (3) for multi-family residential building projects owned by private companies or individuals; and (4) for projects owned by the federal government. Statistics from the CPRS become part of the monthly ‘‘Value of Construction Put in Place’’ series that is used extensively by the Federal Government in making policy decisions and become part of the gross domestic product (GDP). The private sector uses the statistics for market analysis and other research. Construction now accounts for more than eight percent of GDP. The C–700 is used to collect data on industrial and manufacturing plants, office buildings, retail buildings, service PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 12495 establishments, religious buildings, schools, universities, hospitals, clinics, and miscellaneous buildings. The C–700 (SL) is used to collect data on public schools, courthouses, prisons, hospitals, civic centers, highways, bridges, sewer systems, and water systems. The C–700 (R) is used to collect data on residential buildings and apartment projects with two or more housing units. The C–700 (F) is used to collect data on residential buildings and nonresidential projects that include office buildings, conservation and development, public safety and health care. Published statistics are used by all levels of government to evaluate economic policy, to measure progress toward national goals, to make policy decisions, and to formulate legislation. For example, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) staff uses the data to develop the construction components of gross private domestic investment in the gross domestic product. The Federal Reserve Board and the Department of the Treasury use the value-in-place data to predict the gross domestic product, which is presented to the Board of Governors and has an impact on monetary policy. Private businesses and trade organizations use the data for estimating the demand for building materials and to schedule production, distribution and sales efforts. Affected Public: Business or other for profit; Not-for-profit Institutions; Federal Government; State, local or Tribal Governments. Frequency: Monthly. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, Section 182. OMB Desk Officer: Brian HarrisKojetin, (202) 395–7314.
