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 the Retail Trade and 
Accommodation and Food Services Sectors.
    OMB Control Number: 0607-0927.
    Form Number(s): The 40 report forms covered by this request are too 
numerous to list here.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of an expired 
collection.
    Burden Hours: 1,002,396.
    Number of Respondents: 1,110,069.
    Average Hours per Response: .9 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The 2012 Economic Census Covering the Retail Trade 
and Accommodation and Food Services Sectors will use a mail canvass, 
supplemented by data from Federal administrative records, to measure 
the economic activity of 1.7 million employer establishments classified 
in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
    The retail trade sector comprises establishments primarily engaged 
in selling merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering 
services incidental to the sale of merchandise. The accommodation and 
food services sector comprises establishments providing customers with 
lodging and/or preparing meals, snacks, and beverages for immediate 
consumption. The information collected will produce basic statistics by 
kind of business on number of establishments, sales, payroll, and 
employment. It will also yield a variety of subject statistics, 
including sales by product line, sales by class of customer, and other 
industry-specific measures, such as number of guestrooms provided by 
hotels and sales per square foot for supermarkets, department stores, 
warehouse clubs, and supercenters. Basic statistics will be summarized 
for the United States, states, metropolitan areas, counties, places, 
and ZIP code areas. 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 indexes, 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, academe, and the general public use 
information from the economic census for evaluating markets, preparing 
business plans, making business decisions, developing economic models 
and forecasts, conducting economic research, and establishing 
benchmarks for their own sample surveys.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit 
institutions; State, local or Tribal governments.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Sections 131 & 224.
    OMB Desk Officer: Brian Harris-Kojetin, (202) 395-7314.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
dhynek@doc.gov).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to Brian Harris-Kojetin, OMB Desk Officer either by fax (202-395-7245) 
or e-mail (bharrisk@omb.eop.gov).
