DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
    Title: 2012 Economic Census Covering Utilities; Transportation and 
Warehousing; Finance and Insurance; and Real Estate and Rental and 
Leasing Sectors.
    OMB Control Number: 0607-0931.
    Form Number(s): The 36 report forms covered by this request are too 
numerous to list here.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of an expired 
collection.
    Burden Hours: 811,142.
    Number of Respondents: 623,955.
    Average Hours per Response: 1.3 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The 2012 Economic Census covering the Utilities; 
Transportation and Warehousing; Finance and Insurance; and Real Estate 
and Rental and Leasing sectors will use a mail canvass, supplemented by 
data from Federal administrative records, to measure the economic 
activity of more than 1,039,000 establishments in these sectors of the 
economy as classified in the North American Industry Classification 
System (NAICS).
    The Utilities sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in 
the provision of utility services through a permanent infrastructure. 
The Transportation sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in 
transporting people and goods. The Warehousing sector comprises 
establishments primarily engaged in the warehousing and storage of 
goods. The Finance and Insurance sector comprises two types of 
establishments: Those engaged in financial transactions, that is, 
transactions involving the creation, liquidation, or change in 
ownership of financial assets, or in facilitating financial 
transactions; and those engaged in the intermediating as the 
consequence of pooling risks and facilitating such intermediation. The 
Real Estate subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in 
leasing real estate to others, as well as real estate managers, agents, 
and brokers. The Rental and Leasing subsector comprises establishments 
primarily engaged in acquiring, owning, and making available a wide 
variety of tangible goods such as machinery, equipment, computers, and 
consumer goods to businesses or individuals, in return for a periodic 
rental or lease payment. The economic census will produce basic 
statistics by kind of business on number of establishments, revenue, 
payroll, and employment. It also will yield a variety of subject 
statistics, including revenue by product line, and other industry-
specific measures, such as insurance benefits paid to policyholders, 
exported services, purchased transportation, and exported energy. Basic 
statistics will be summarized for the United States, states, 
metropolitan areas and, in some cases, for counties and places. 
Tabulations of subject statistics also will present data for the United 
States and, in some cases, for states.
    The economic census is the primary source of facts about the 
structure and functioning of the Nation's economy and features unique 
industry and geographic detail. Economic census statistics serve as 
part of the framework for the national accounts and provide essential 
information for government, business, and the general public. The 
Federal Government uses information from the economic census as an 
important part of the framework for the national income and product 
accounts, input-output tables, economic indices, and other composite 
measures that serve as the factual basis for economic policy-making, 
planning, and program administration. Further, the census provides 
sampling frames and benchmarks for current surveys of business which 
track short-term economic trends, serve as economic indicators, and 
contribute critical source data for current estimates of gross domestic 
product. State and local governments rely on the economic census as a 
unique source of comprehensive economic statistics for small geographic 
areas for use in policy-making, planning, and program administration. 
Finally, industry,

business, academia, and the general public use information from the 
economic census for evaluating markets, preparing business plans, 
making business decisions, developing economic models and forecasts,
